Well, Galio's R is technically called Hero's Entrance, lol.

Faker was awarded the player of the series in their semis vs RNG. The reason he got awarded player of the series was literally "He is the core of the team. Every iteration of SKT has been build around him".

What has this to do with the current series?! He played mediocre at best. He saved some people with his ult (which is Galio's entire purpose and doesn't speak to good play), but he also put himself in dangerous positions with his ult multiple times, handing over free kills. Just giving him player of the series because he is the core of the team is a joke, and completely robs the other SKT players. He didn't deserve that player of the series in any way. I can imagine it isn't fun being an SKT player, because you'll always be in Faker's shadow and not getting the credits you deserve.

I am amazed how far this Faker hype has spiraled out control. Some people really need a reality check. Blind hype in Faker is really ruining the LoL esports scene.

Gods only need 1 button.

Faker's "plays" are often blown out of proportion. I remember a game in which he was 3-man ganked in top lane. Elise missed her max range cocoon, meanwhile Faker ate skillshots from the other 2. Eventually Jayce hammer-pushed Faker to safety under his inner turret. It was called a godly escape, yet all Faker did was running in a straight line towards his turret.

Misplays from others are often attributed as skilled outplays by Faker, even if he literally didn't do anything.

(Honestly I notice the same with Bjergsen, when he just presses R on Syndra. Nice outplay)

It was probably based on the way he played the entire tournament, even in the losses Faker was still going strong. 2nd game Galio vs 5 squishies was a no contest

Technically he also had to right click on the map to move within range to press R.

It was annoying yeah, as Huni pretty much played that perfectly. Got his passive just before the fear, almost killed noct on his own under the turret and stunned gnar right when fakers ult knock-up came off and disengaging right away, while during the whole time dodging almost every boomerang.

Faker is good, but it's getting annoying that the casters credit him for every good SKT play. It's like the whole Wolf Rakan engage into shockwave again...

I know, he isn't even good. His Galio Q barely does 40% damage to squishy Nocturne.
