More than 100,000 people have already seen a clip showing what LoL superstar Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok can do in the League of Legends. With the heroine LeBlanc, he decimates an enemy team and leads them by the nose.
What kind of situation is this? As the site Dexerto reports, the scene comes from Faker’s stream on June 1. It is therefore not an eSport match, but a regular game.
Faker was playing as “LeBlanc” in the game, a heroine who relies on tricks and cunning. He was on the mid lane with her.
The star player of SKT1 is considered a natural disaster in LoL with LeBlanc, which his opponents soon felt.
The match was still completely balanced at that point: Faker’s team had 18 kills, while the opponents stood at 19. But that was about to change.
This is what the clip shows: The clip shows a rapid succession of tricks, jumps, retreats, and attacks, with which Faker engages the entire enemy team, lures them behind him, and tricks them.
Faker seems to let himself be hunted by the enemies and comes under heavy pressure. They use their cooldowns to catch the seemingly isolated opponent solo and gain an advantage.
After Faker gets involved in a 1vs1 against Sejuani at the beginning, the opposing Irelia and Zoey appear.
Ultimately, Lucian and Morgana also join the chase against Faker, and the entire team is after him but cannot catch him.
Faker repeatedly escapes their attacks, retreats, jumps back in, and buys enough time for his team to arrive and clean up the scattered enemies.
In the end, Faker’s team achieved 5 kills and only lost one player.
This led to the opponents immediately surrendering after this scene, as Dexerto reports.
This is how it’s being discussed: The clip has now garnered over 110,000 views. People on reddit about League of Legends seem to agree that it must be a nightmare to play against Faker as LeBlanc.
This champ should simply be banned from him, says one. It shouldn’t be allowed to play against Faker as LeBlanc. He embarrasses you and makes it look so easy.
Faker has won everything there is to win in his long LoL career, but in recent years he and his team have faced some criticism:
