It’s just Faker doing what he always does
It’s not so common to face the ‘Demon King’ himself in League of Legends, and even if you do, the chance of Faker outplaying you is pretty high, even if it’s from an unintentional strike. Last night, FlyQuest’s Philip had the same issue.
The North American Champions Queue has recently been a popular destination for foreign professional players. Many are lining up to warm up before Worlds 2022 begins on September 29, offering spectators with some exciting matches and performances.
T1 players began practicing on Champions Queue yesterday, which heightened their enthusiasm.
In one such encounter, FlyQuest’s Philip faced off against T1’s Faker on the opposing team. They didn’t fight right away since they play in opposite lanes, until the 13-minute mark.
Philip had dominated the top lane with his Fiora pick, amassing a strong 4/1/1 KDA. During this moment, he noticed Faker’s low-health Sylas was clearing the top lane minions. As a result, he ran and hid in the top bush, hoping to outplay Faker, despite the fact that his champion was just a hit away from death.
Unfortunately for Philip, it appears that luck was not on his side. A little portion of Azir’s stolen ultimate Emperor’s Divide touched Philip’s Fiora when Faker utilized it to clear out the minion wave.
It immediately removed Philip, eliciting amusing responses from his teammates who had been anticipating this ‘no-vision’ outplay moment.
Champions Queue has given NA players the opportunity to compete against the greatest players from other regions. Although the regional pros continue to dominate the standings, others are gradually making their way up.
With 41 days until the Champions Queue closes, there is little question that fans will see more amazing or humorous plays throughout this time as the opening for Worlds 2022 is just around the corner.
