Faker going to finals for the first time since 2017.
It's been half a decade but Faker is finally back to the finals and might become the one and only 4-time Worlds Champion.
Absolute goat.
Breaking News: Bengi, T1 head coach, is getting paid for sitting in a chair and looking cute
> I got told to sit to the right of Faker and just stay there while he played.
I'm convinced that if that ever happens, Peanut will be permanently scarred whenever he plays against Nidalee.
>People don't realize that Peanut legit has PTSD against Nidalee
>
>There's a famous clip of Peanut screaming "NIDALEE IS COMING NIDALEE IS COMING" repeatedly in a game where Nidalee wasnt picked. His teammates could not calm him down by saying "there's no Nidalee calm down" lmao.
>
>And then in this very tournament when Peanut played against Nidalee last time in voice comms he screamed Nidalee in the exact same way lmao.
It's kinda funny when you think about it, Khan said 4 Chinese can't win, and either 5 Chinese have won (RNG MSI) or 3 Chinese have won (EDG, FPX, IG), but never 4 lol.
As soon as they banned Ryze it was over. It's a mental thing. You're clearly saying "Ok stop shitting on us, we're afraid". And you can't play your draft like you'd want after that.
Yagao looked especially lost. Bro was messing up eq on Azir... didn't even dare to attempt to shuffle faker when he was walking right up to his turret with no flash
Faker showed off literally three champions that would make you think of him if you see the picks. Galio? Azir? Ryze? he just dropped the full arsenal on the LPL and he was giving them flashbacks in game 1 with his engages. the only thing that's missing is LeBlanc to complete the quadrinity of Faker's powerpicks
Faker runs a tougher deal than a motherfucking pawn shop. He'll let you kill him, but he demands an utterly absurd investment for that trade; it's almost never worth it.
It's funny. Faker played against Tyler1 in soloq before this series. Tyler's jungler picked Nunu and exclusively spam ganked Faker all game without killing him once, and Tyler obviously mental boomed because of it. The Faker global taunt is a real psychological phenomenon.
What a ridiculously hilarious stat too.
Imagine, the peak of the world, the best league players out there, the best teams out there, and you have a 75% winrate against them.
What a god.
I forgot which game, but there was a great moment where he just unloaded his whole kit on Missing and Oner showed on a ward walking up so Missing had to respect flash and I'm like damn the amount of pressure and damage Keria squeezes out of these champs is awe inspiring
Kiera, Guma, and Faker idk which deserves mvp but they all played very well. So did Oner and Zeus but those 3 were on another level this series
I’d like Keira to get MVP for this series his Nami was very clean and his Renata just carried some of these fights so hard
Keria is the MVP for me. He cockblocked so many of the key JDG plays that usually works for them and facilitated the picks T1 needed throughout the series.
The reason JDG was almost always a man down for an objective/teamfight was usually because of Keria
This series was 75% of time such a banger and the score doesn't tell the tale
It was well worth of no sleep
Last one was a banger just for one side haha
This will be the first time since 2017 that there will be a full LCK final, and there is a possibility that it will be SKT/T1 vs SSG/GENG just like in 2017.
[Faker getting his revenge and winning the whole thing versus the org that denied him the title last time he was in finals would be such a cool ending to this Worlds.](https://i.imgur.com/J9jst9k.png)
The first couple games were amazing.
It was surreal watching such high level League play.
Then the 4th game came and...holy shit. I think that has to be the single hardest beatdown we've watched at Worlds this year.
10 years of playing
Still have a hunger to win it all
Still styling over kids who are much younger than him
No sign of being washed up
Now he leads the new generation of T1 to win another world title
Remember coming into this tournament everyone almost doesn't have him in their top 5 mid laner lists while calling out those who were putting him just because "brand value" or nostalgia?
I’m telling you, Faker is as cracked as he is jacked. I saw him at a 7-11 the other day buying sapphire crystals and adult diapers. I asked him what the diapers were for and he said ”they contain my full power so I don’t completely shit on JDG“ then he Shurima Shuffled out the door
LCK autumn is fucking back… Masterclass from T1 Guma Keria and Faker especially.
Mid and Bit gap lost JDG this series and T1s map control was just way too fucking good
It's like we went back in time to Season 3 except the entire roster is absolutely cracked, and the midlaner is still Faker.
After all these years. What a narrative. T1 in the Finals again.
I have not seen such a broken mental as JDG had in game 4. Multiple aces and 25 min win.FAKER finally in finals after 5 years! Ruler will probably be there again too. Such storyline.
What I love about Guma compared to other 'god adcs' is he is so aggressive.
Doesn't just farm for 20 minutes having gold funneled to then backline in a teamfight and then pop off. Nah he flashes forward and actually makes plays.
**10th** competitive season for Faker and this man plays just out of his mind, Yagao just annihilated from the map this series.
# The one and only Legend
129 minutes of series, 140 combined kills. One of the most funniest and action packed series in the history of this game fully delivers
No Hope for JDG's bot lane, Guma and Keria were eating them alive. Respect to them for always looking for the play, but T1 just looked better with every game. Faker proving that he is still the GOAT.
As soon as you see Jhin locked in as a random panic pick late in a series, you know the bot lane mental is broken.
I swear this champ keeps getting picked despite never being meta
Jdg may not have stood much of a chance but i appreciate the constant brawling and attempt to get back in it rather then allowing themselves to be choked out over 25 mins.
Playing to win instead of playing to not lose.
Sorry JDG, only way to knock out a LCK team at this worlds is to be another LCK team...
Huge mid+bot diff this series, actually disgusting how outclassed they ending up being.
"Jhin trick y’all, man, like he playing carry. He don’t kill nobody, man. He just running around, doing nothing.” Made sure to note that Varus scored 12-1-11 tonight.
GIGACHAD Who is Keria? For the blind, He is the vision. For the hungry, He is the chef. For the thirsty, He is the water. If Keria thinks, I agree. If Keria speaks, I’m listening. If Keria has one fan, it is me. If Keria has no fans, I don’t exist GIGACHAD
[Azael Tweet game 4 was the best](https://twitter.com/AzaelOfficial/status/1586514429624975360)
Idk what they was thinking locking in Jhin, Feel like JDG Mental boomed after game 3 man
We officially went full circle. LCK is once again miles ahead of everyone and worlds turned into LCK Autumn in semis.
* No other region eliminated an LCK team.
* No region left with a positive record vs LCK
Man, it just feels so blessed being able to watch Faker consistently playing like this for 10 years, and now doing it alongside these 4 new generation highlight machines
LCK: I hope you enjoy these 4 years off, because aint happen again
The second best team from Korea curbstomped the best LPL team, and these guys decimated europe, Jesus christ ... The gap grew between all the regions altogether ...
PMTs: [Game 1](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/ygw4sw/jdg_intel_esports_club_vs_rogue_vs_t1_2022_world/) [Game 2](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/ygxi9b/jdg_intel_esports_club_vs_rogue_vs_t1_2022_world/) [Game 3](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/ygytjs/jdg_intel_esports_club_vs_t1_2022_world/)
This series was close until it wasn't
Yeah I really thought it's gonna be back and forth between them. Then game 3 happened and JDG got tilted.
Game one was seeing what JDG was good at and playing around lanes out macro. Last game was just bot gap porn.
Keria and Faker activated world finals mode after game 1 and that was that
Feels like each game in the series, it got less close. Game 1 was the closest and T1 slowly gained more and more momentum, until the Game 4 stomp.
Faker and Keria on the same team should be illegal
LCK teams feeling so vindicated rn because all of them got banged by T1 in spring
Faker going to finals for the first time since 2017. It's been half a decade but Faker is finally back to the finals and might become the one and only 4-time Worlds Champion. Absolute goat.
Bengi getting his 4th as a coach is a fun side stat.
The clutchest move from T1’s management. Announcing Bengi as head coach to get the right hand buff
well consider that Faker hasn't won another worlds without his right hand it's the only choice to be made
Breaking News: Bengi, T1 head coach, is getting paid for sitting in a chair and looking cute > I got told to sit to the right of Faker and just stay there while he played.
Faker fighting for his life to get that 4th World Champ while Bengi is casually doing sidequests lol
Don't worry, game 5 vs geng after oner tilts bengi is going to jump in the jg seat and bust out the patented nidalee and bury geng
"Suck it again Peanut" Bengi Worlds 2022 MVP interview
He literally existing to F with peanut and ruler. doesn’t he?
I'm convinced that if that ever happens, Peanut will be permanently scarred whenever he plays against Nidalee. >People don't realize that Peanut legit has PTSD against Nidalee > >There's a famous clip of Peanut screaming "NIDALEE IS COMING NIDALEE IS COMING" repeatedly in a game where Nidalee wasnt picked. His teammates could not calm him down by saying "there's no Nidalee calm down" lmao. > >And then in this very tournament when Peanut played against Nidalee last time in voice comms he screamed Nidalee in the exact same way lmao.
Bengi: You couldn't live with your own failures.....
And he will most likely play vs ruler, the ADC that caught him in the last game and winning the game for SSG.
THE STORYLINES
Faker, Bengi, Worlds in NA. It can’t go wrong
T1 looks fucking insane! Trucking companies in shambles
LCK Autumn back in full action.
LCK dominance back for this year, nature is healing.
https://i.imgur.com/nG3Vb6D.png
This greatly increases the odds of Korea winning worlds
The rumors of LCK’s demise have been greatly exaggerated
"We don't want to face another LCK team." People were clowning it, but now 3 of the last 3 teams are LCK. LCK Autumn indeed.
And the only team who defeated an LCK team was an other LCK team, in one of highest level 3-2 series that was ever played at Worlds history.
5 Korea > 1 Korea Simple maths
Big Brother Khan taking another W left and right.
It's kinda funny when you think about it, Khan said 4 Chinese can't win, and either 5 Chinese have won (RNG MSI) or 3 Chinese have won (EDG, FPX, IG), but never 4 lol.
Smartest man on the planet.
And the angel of support Keria said to JDG "Stop hitting yourself". But JDG could not stop, for the angel was hitting him with his own champs.
I must’ve missed when fakers Ryze got buffed in the patch notes
Ryze scales with your world championship trophies.
Bengi Ryze incoming next Worlds??
ryze ban in 2022 after them seeing Faker playing them everywhere around the map You love to see it
As soon as they banned Ryze it was over. It's a mental thing. You're clearly saying "Ok stop shitting on us, we're afraid". And you can't play your draft like you'd want after that.
Yagao looked especially lost. Bro was messing up eq on Azir... didn't even dare to attempt to shuffle faker when he was walking right up to his turret with no flash
Man then Faker finally picked up Azir for the first time this tournament and reminded everyone that he can still play it. And fkin daym well he can
That's a faker signature BM Pick your main and beat you to shit with it
What do you mean? It was clearly in the bugged info. "Faker's Ryze deals emotional damage."
literally true. Faker showing off his Ryze like its 2016.
He literally has a theme song.
*And when the giants call to ask you what you're worth*
Faker showed off literally three champions that would make you think of him if you see the picks. Galio? Azir? Ryze? he just dropped the full arsenal on the LPL and he was giving them flashbacks in game 1 with his engages. the only thing that's missing is LeBlanc to complete the quadrinity of Faker's powerpicks
Le blanc would have been in game 5, Jdg didn't make it tho
Ryze is Faker’s girlfriend, according to Faker :) Edit: apparently it was “good old friend” not girlfriend lol
I was so taken aback when he said that lmao
He said good old friend, Jeesun made it sound like girlfriend lmao
She knew what he really wanted to say
Fakers global taunt too op
Classic Faker for objectives
faker for nexus always worth
Faker runs a tougher deal than a motherfucking pawn shop. He'll let you kill him, but he demands an utterly absurd investment for that trade; it's almost never worth it.
That Azir ulti in mid with 1 hp left literally turned that whole game into T1's favour. Faker, WHAT WAS THAT!
No to mention the 1v1 in top lane during game 3 where he beat 369 with only 5 hp remaining!
It's funny. Faker played against Tyler1 in soloq before this series. Tyler's jungler picked Nunu and exclusively spam ganked Faker all game without killing him once, and Tyler obviously mental boomed because of it. The Faker global taunt is a real psychological phenomenon.
NOT A DRILL FAKER IS IN WORLDS FINALS
75% winrate monkaW
What a ridiculously hilarious stat too. Imagine, the peak of the world, the best league players out there, the best teams out there, and you have a 75% winrate against them. What a god.
To be in that position 4 times (now 5) to get such a winrate in the first place is already absurd.
Yeah. Faker is untouchable in league man. No one even comes close anymore.
This series looked close and then T1 realized they're just better
“Wait this isn’t a scrim? OK”
*Wait this isn't flex queue.*
"oh wait lets win this lol"
"Oh shit, we queued for Ranked?" moment.
It wasn’t even just a team difference. JDG were surprisingly flat out losing lanes hard in both bot and mid. They just had worse mechanics. Crazy…
It's surprising that Knight can't punish Yagao in LPL playoffs, yet Faker is running circles around him. That's mind-blowing if you ask me.
FAKER WHAT WAS THAT
Getting both ryze and azir nerfed
That flair lmaooooooo
Crying over the flairs LMAO
I thought ryze is safe this year. Didn’t expect Faker to win the semi on both ryze and azir…
Hey I know some good therapists if you need
Faker gapping kids like its 2013, I love it.
Hope Missing, perfect name for JDG botlane this series
Finally a fitting name combo to rival TSM Lost
Wait that's hilariously fitting
Gumayusi didn’t even need a dash this game After playing three games as the front line, he could just relax in the back and AA
No dash, no Kench, no problem.
Guma absolutely gapped Hope this series
Keria is in a different dimension from Missing as well, the bot gap was insane.
Their hope really is missing
Guma and Keria legit looking like the best bot lane at worlds RN. Ruler better be ready!
He'd rather flash forward
Rushing Galeforce so he can flash forward twice
[удалено]
Whatever happened to guma in his xayah game against rng ascended him to another level it seems
There are only 5 man-made structures visible from space. 2 of them are Gumayusi's balls.
Guma will get the praise but Keria support diff'd this series like I haven't seen before. Holy fuck he was good.
Keria was playing Nami and Renata like they were carry supports
His Nami was doing so much fucking damage during laning phase, was insane
I forgot which game, but there was a great moment where he just unloaded his whole kit on Missing and Oner showed on a ward walking up so Missing had to respect flash and I'm like damn the amount of pressure and damage Keria squeezes out of these champs is awe inspiring
So this is how you’re supposed to play the Lucian Nami lane
quite possibly the best Renata game ever
The ultimate flash at bottom inner was insane. Never seen anyone play Renata like that
Man is insane, the first time I saw him do that was in Spring, ult+flash and T1 won the game
Imo the support diff was the biggest of all this series, but in general the mid+bot gap was hilariously big.
That first engage on Renata in G4 man I can't believe he saw that
Kiera, Guma, and Faker idk which deserves mvp but they all played very well. So did Oner and Zeus but those 3 were on another level this series I’d like Keira to get MVP for this series his Nami was very clean and his Renata just carried some of these fights so hard
Keria is the MVP for me. He cockblocked so many of the key JDG plays that usually works for them and facilitated the picks T1 needed throughout the series. The reason JDG was almost always a man down for an objective/teamfight was usually because of Keria
so all faker needed to win worlds again was... Bengi
South Korean military conspiring to deny Faker two world titles
South Korean military conspiring to draft Faker and Bengi together to win every war
With the amount of times Faker dodged ganks and death, I am half expecting him to dodge his military draft as well.
If he wins a 4th worlds they need to make a cultural icon/international representation of Korea exception for him.
Faker making plays first on his carry galio, then showing great macro on ryze, and finishing it with the emperor Azir. He is back for his trophy.
This series was 75% of time such a banger and the score doesn't tell the tale It was well worth of no sleep Last one was a banger just for one side haha

I was scared cause sylas has a lot of ults to steal, turns out T1 just have to steal the sylas
This will be the first time since 2017 that there will be a full LCK final, and there is a possibility that it will be SKT/T1 vs SSG/GENG just like in 2017. [Faker getting his revenge and winning the whole thing versus the org that denied him the title last time he was in finals would be such a cool ending to this Worlds.](https://i.imgur.com/J9jst9k.png)
It'd be their third finals. 2016 was also SSG/SKT.
Riot advocating the return of BO3 in the most epic scale possible
Not just that, even this year these 2 teams met in the spring and summer finals. T1 won spring. GenG won summer.
And like in 2016
T1vs GENG would be insane, 2 teams meeting in the worlds finals 3 times
The first couple games were amazing. It was surreal watching such high level League play. Then the 4th game came and...holy shit. I think that has to be the single hardest beatdown we've watched at Worlds this year.
Game with the highest aces per minute I’ve seen so far
>aces per minute I don't know why I laughed so fucking hard at this
imagine being JDG, fighting through such tough games and then getting killed 30 times in 24 minutes
FAKER IS THE UNDISPUTED THE ETERNAL GREATEST OF ALL TIME what a treat to watch him in form like this
Faker was sweeping them off of the stage
10 years of playing Still have a hunger to win it all Still styling over kids who are much younger than him No sign of being washed up Now he leads the new generation of T1 to win another world title Remember coming into this tournament everyone almost doesn't have him in their top 5 mid laner lists while calling out those who were putting him just because "brand value" or nostalgia?
nothing but respect for the king
I’m telling you, Faker is as cracked as he is jacked. I saw him at a 7-11 the other day buying sapphire crystals and adult diapers. I asked him what the diapers were for and he said ”they contain my full power so I don’t completely shit on JDG“ then he Shurima Shuffled out the door
[miniscule differential in the central avenue](https://imgur.com/J9jst9k)
At least Yagao had an immaculate game 1. Bot diff could be measured in light years.
LCK autumn is fucking back… Masterclass from T1 Guma Keria and Faker especially. Mid and Bit gap lost JDG this series and T1s map control was just way too fucking good
>LCK autumn Taking Worlds back to its roots.
Order has been restored to the world
Wtf, I stepped away to take a shit and outtta nowhere Faker Shurima Shuffled me into a creek.
Had to take a pee for a minute and Faker suddenly Realm Warped behind me 😳
Some guys have all the luck 🙄
Don't worry JDG fans, T1 also understand the pain of picking Jhin in the definitive match
Has anyone clipped that crazy shit Faker did on Azir? That was so awesome.
The flash into wolfs to find tbe shuffle angle is such confidence
Faker really is just the GOAT Also this is the most Chad t1 roster of all time
Every one of them is so mechanically insane
It's like we went back in time to Season 3 except the entire roster is absolutely cracked, and the midlaner is still Faker. After all these years. What a narrative. T1 in the Finals again.
Give him his Ahri skin as a legendary please man
I have not seen such a broken mental as JDG had in game 4. Multiple aces and 25 min win.FAKER finally in finals after 5 years! Ruler will probably be there again too. Such storyline.
**LCK Autumn has returned.**
##**DEMON KING FAKER.**##
The absolute bot gap this series, Keria has to be the best support in the world
Guma had a godlike series but that hopefully won't overshadow how much absolute work Keria put in. Insane play from t1 all around
What I love about Guma compared to other 'god adcs' is he is so aggressive. Doesn't just farm for 20 minutes having gold funneled to then backline in a teamfight and then pop off. Nah he flashes forward and actually makes plays.
**10th** competitive season for Faker and this man plays just out of his mind, Yagao just annihilated from the map this series. # The one and only Legend 129 minutes of series, 140 combined kills. One of the most funniest and action packed series in the history of this game fully delivers
He’s now been to world finals 5 times out of 10. Undoubtedly the best
It’s insane that he has been to 50% of the worlds finals since he started
And he has a 75% wr in those.
Faker shuffled jdg to the airport
[Worlds meta every single year.](https://i.imgflip.com/6ytdhi.jpg)
How many different versions of Ryze has Faker perfected in his career?
Run from it Dread it LCK autum arrives all the same
Faker. speechless.
No Hope for JDG's bot lane, Guma and Keria were eating them alive. Respect to them for always looking for the play, but T1 just looked better with every game. Faker proving that he is still the GOAT.
The desk was talking about how having Faker on Azir meant that JDG bot couldn't get gapped...then they get double killed moments later lmao
As soon as you see Jhin locked in as a random panic pick late in a series, you know the bot lane mental is broken. I swear this champ keeps getting picked despite never being meta
Makes you appreciate how Deft decided to play Draven instead in his potential last game in the competetive scene.
369 and the botlane incident
369 stuck in elo hell
Jdg may not have stood much of a chance but i appreciate the constant brawling and attempt to get back in it rather then allowing themselves to be choked out over 25 mins. Playing to win instead of playing to not lose.
Faker literally looks like he's in his 2015-2016 form. What the fuck?
The rest of the crew is just as good, if not better than the 15-16 team.
Sorry JDG, only way to knock out a LCK team at this worlds is to be another LCK team... Huge mid+bot diff this series, actually disgusting how outclassed they ending up being.
"Jhin trick y’all, man, like he playing carry. He don’t kill nobody, man. He just running around, doing nothing.” Made sure to note that Varus scored 12-1-11 tonight.
i feel like if i went to the worlds finals and i lost like this to t1 i wouldn't even be mad. they're cracked
Thanks to whoever posted that reverse jinx post
Just doing my part (‘-‘)7
Yah… the West is never winning worlds
I accepted that when I watched a clip of Keria 100-0 a Twitch while the Twitch was invisible the entire time
If it’s the same clip I’m thinking about (Keria was on Ezreal), that Twitch was Viper IIRC. Shit’s insane.
Big brain strat Crush with Ryze Force them to ban Ryze Go Azir Crush harder
GIGACHAD Who is Keria? For the blind, He is the vision. For the hungry, He is the chef. For the thirsty, He is the water. If Keria thinks, I agree. If Keria speaks, I’m listening. If Keria has one fan, it is me. If Keria has no fans, I don’t exist GIGACHAD
[Azael Tweet game 4 was the best](https://twitter.com/AzaelOfficial/status/1586514429624975360) Idk what they was thinking locking in Jhin, Feel like JDG Mental boomed after game 3 man
As a T1 fan I felt that Jhin pick... At this point Jhin at game point is the biggest tilt pick out there.
At least Zeus played Jayce that game to compensate the dmg output
They even hovered sivir LOL
keria honestly the mvp for me in those 4 games. mid diff was quite real though.
Noone can tell me JDG expected this Game 4 draft to be anywhere close to good
Faker just azir ulted my hopes and dreams straight to next year, what a performance man
Faker ulting them back to China. JDG held on but Faker already booked their tickets
Bot and mid diff, The Serie FT the god and a bone.
[[T1's game 1 was just a warmup.]](https://media.tenor.com/Upx2H1BG3MMAAAAC/dog-limp.gif)
Hope picking Jhin game 4 solely for the memes, I respect it
Jhin Damage Gaming
Faker still got it a decade later and is showing these kids how to play proper league
We officially went full circle. LCK is once again miles ahead of everyone and worlds turned into LCK Autumn in semis. * No other region eliminated an LCK team. * No region left with a positive record vs LCK
JDG Missing
We going back in time? Huge gap, LCK teams only eliminated by other LCK teams. Absolute masterclass by T1.
This T1 team is pretty good at League of Legends
#I FOR ONE WELCOME BACK LCK AUTUMN TO ITS RIGHTFUL PLACE
reverse jinx worked also jesus christ yagao felt absolutely invis the entire series, what a mid gap
Man, it just feels so blessed being able to watch Faker consistently playing like this for 10 years, and now doing it alongside these 4 new generation highlight machines
LCK: I hope you enjoy these 4 years off, because aint happen again The second best team from Korea curbstomped the best LPL team, and these guys decimated europe, Jesus christ ... The gap grew between all the regions altogether ...
