Big Plays Spotlight: Faker the playmaker

RiotPreeti·5/16/2014, 6:29:14 PM·46 votes·82,768 views

Welcome to the Big Plays Spotlight! In this feature, we highlight the most epic plays, from meticulously-coordinated early tower dives to mind-blowing escapes from one side of the Rift to the other.

This play demonstrates why SK Telecom T1 K is absolutely terrifying: they’ll exploit the tiniest tactical errors and turn them into an insurmountable lead. With two members of SKT, including jungler SKT bengi, dead and SKT Faker at base, Fnatic beelined toward Baron. But Faker was already on his way, positioned to dive head-first into the pit and begin the slaughter.

We’d love to feature your biggest plays, so post a link in the comments below or submit your clip here!

I like that people hate on NA so much that even when they watch a video of Korea schooling an EU team they still somehow manage to refer it to NA. Is Korea better than NA? Yup. Does it have anything to do with this video? Nope.

The funny thing is, is that, EU players are saying that this shows how Korea is that much better than NA but if you look closely its Fanatic in the game. Korea>China>NA>EU Like this post if you agree.

Things like this prove that Korean players are miles above NA equivalents. Mad respect to Faker, especially, for being the best midlaner I've ever seen.

This is why Korean Bronze is the next level above NA Challenger

Ummm, accoring to the win and loss ratio, C9 came in second in all stars. . . without Hai. Think about it. Plus when people attach the stigma to Americans that we're fat dumb and stupid. We have immigrants from all over the world, more diverse than any other country, so when you dunces from other regions want to hate on NA, just remember you're hating on people from YOUR OWN COUNTRY too. Silly kids. Fullscreen = No noob Twitch chat.

Geez all these comments about faker being the best player ever, PLEASE give his team some credit too... Faker would not be where he is now without those guys. If you really think that faker is that much better than the rest of his team you clearly don't watch much of the pro Korean scene. (I don't watch it a ton myself, because I can't understand the talking at all but I have definitely seen enough to know that his teammates are just as good as he is.)

At first when i saw fnatic taking baron with cyanide up i thought' "no way faker steals this from a person with smite". Now i realize that God can do what he wants.

This is also why Faker and Korea are the best in the world at League of Legends

OK , as good as Faker is, you do know that SKT isnt even doing that great in their respective league? If you werent busy fangirling over everything they do you'd hear that theyre around 7th or 8th in their region currently. Everyone so quick to hate on NA, but at the Allstars the FINALS MATCH was C9(NA Team!!!) and SKT. So PLEASE, drop the region pride and open your eyes, maybe actually read and educate yourself before you run your mouth(fingers in this case)

P.S. Faker is amazing, yes, but even he gets trashed in OGN

South Korea is better than NA and most likely any other country... It's just a fact and they've managed to prove it multiple times... If you can't accept that fact, then you're just being stubborn...
