In League of Legends, player Lee “Faker” Sang-Hyeok is one of the most famous icons of the game. A clip shows how he masterfully uses Akali to eliminate opponent Lava on Azir almost flawlessly in a 1vs1.
Here is the clip: The clip shows a clean dismantling of Faker against player Lava. The clip comes from a league match of the LCK. STK1 faced Hanwah Life Esports.
Faker was able to isolate Lava around the 14-minute mark and almost execute him. He is particularly praised for how he dodges the opponent’s attacks and dismantles him without taking damage himself. He simply jumps over the opponent’s attacks.
The clip has now over 230,000 views. It’s a classic 1vs1.
Faker dominates again
What is special about the clip? The special thing is that such scenes are usually seen as a display of power in random matches – at a professional level, in a league match, such a clear dismantling does not occur very often.
People rave on reddit about how “clean” Faker plays on Akali.
One says: “It was like watching a big kid bully a little kid in front of thousands of spectators.”
This is how the match ended: It was a clear 2:0 victory for SKT1 against HLE. Both matches lasted about 26 minutes and were a clear affair for SKT1.
New support and Faker’s beast mode bring SKT the victories
This is how STK1 is doing right now: They have recovered somewhat after a difficult start.
A week ago at the Rift Rivals, we reported that SKT1 was at 3-5. But they managed to win the last 2 games and are now at 5-5 in the LCK. Their opponents, KT Rolster and HWL, are also found far down in the standings in second to last and third to last place.
The current score of 5-5 for SKT1 is still not great, but it is going in the right direction.
At the Rift Rivals, SKT1 apparently gained confidence. SKT1 has changed their support. Instead of veteran Cho “Mata” Se-hyeong, Lee “Effort” Sang-ho has played in the last few games. And the rookie has made some good plays, as dotesports reports.
Nevertheless, STK1 remains Faker’s team. He peaks at the end of his playtime. Fans say he switches into “beast mode.”
