You must be an extremely serious or neurological person to withstand Faker’s check map speed.
Faker’s check map speed
With the Pro View feature launched by Riot Games, Faker is also the person who is paid attention to most by this feature. However, many gamers after watching Faker’s pro view feel incredibly dizzy and nausea because he continually changes his camera angle.
Also, in his stream, many fans admit that even though they are Faker’s fan, they still have to get to the other Members’ channel to see if they have a general play because Faker prevents them from being patient.
The purpose is absolutely not to let viewers feel dizzy. Which Faker does is to gather as much information for himself and teammates as possible. This somehow helps Faker be able to make the necessary decisions.
This is explained that Faker has used the F1-F5 button continuously throughout the match, especially at the spare time… Moreover, Faker uses the Tab key to view the item, minions of teammates and especially enemies.
The hot keys from F1 to F5 are utilized to test teammates, they won’t make you win almost absolute, but it will create a very good habit that is gathering continuous information to assess where the useful information for you and your teammates is. Then your tactical thinking and level will be enhanced to a pronounced way.
Despite knowing it, there are still some fans sharing that many times they have to drop out of Faker’s stream to give their eyes a break.
This is understandable because Faker is the one who actively controls what he wants to look at and the active viewers have to look at the things that Faker displays on the screen and at the same time the brain must also analyze stuff in bulk at once such as: Faker just turned on something, Faker just checked the team position… It’s really not easy.

The funny thing is that Faker spends only about 0.3 seconds when checking to see the situation at the other lane while we haven’t even seen the problem.
Speaking of this, perhaps it is necessary to record the video of Faker’s legendary cam check, it was only 1s but Faker felt like he could check all the information happening on the map. Many people didn’t believe their eyes, but it was the people who witnessed Faker playing like this:
1. [+ 233] This image is not fast forward. Based on the speed of movement of the champion is still normal and Mata is still adjusting his mic at normal speed
2. [+ 655] I’m not sure if this image is edited but if you follow Faker when he compete, he spends the time watching the situation on the map on par with his time at the general (except for when the fighting is not moving the screen). His transferring screen speed is much faster than when he play rankmatch.
3. [+ 281] If you look at the speed of minions’ movements, this video is not edited. This is the speed of Faker
4. [+ 57] I used to sit behind SKT at the 2016 World Championship and I swear this is the fact that taken place in the Faker’s screen. He uses F keys to track the situation around the map frequently. He plays this like the habit of Starcraft players. Other members of SKT also do the same, but the frequency is not as much as Faker. It’s nice to see videos of what makes Faker different from other players
In the lastest one of the week 2/6-9/6, Faker is one of the Top charted streams on the Twitch platform. In terms of watch hours, Faker ranks 3rd with 461,536 viewers respectively, Peak Viewer up to 45,964 views and it has the most views.
Many fans joke that if Faker’s “skill channel” has a stream several days and it lasts few hours per stream, it’s enough for Faker to compete with Korean hot streamers.
