The Only Stat in League of Legends That Faker May Never Conquer
In League of Legends, there are countless achievements and records, as well as highlight plays created by professional players and even casual gamers in various situations. However, there is one achievement that almost anyone who plays games in general, and League of Legends in particular, hopes to achieve: single-handedly securing all kills in a team fight. In League of Legends, this is called a pentakill, and it is the only stat that the “G.O.A.T” Faker also falls short of.
According to statistics from professional League of Legends, there have been 7 players who have achieved 10 or more pentakills in their careers, and none of them played in the Mid Lane position. Meanwhile, throughout his long career, Faker has only managed 2 pentakills, with LeBlanc and Ahri. And for those who don’t know, it took Faker a full 10 years to get his second pentakill after his first.
This is also a rare stat that a former VCS player can be part of. That is former AD Carry Celebrity, who has also achieved 11 pentakills in his career, tying with Peyz and GALA, thus can be considered tied for 2nd place. However, Celebrity no longer has the opportunity to improve his position as he has retired long ago.
But for Faker, collective achievements are always the most important
Although there are very few pentakills in his career, the glory of Faker and SKT T1/T1 is immeasurable. In fact, Faker has repeatedly asserted that collective achievements are what he cares about most.
Moreover, looking back at the list of players featured in the above list, only Ruler can truly be considered successful as he has won all titles from domestic to international. The others have experienced many unfinished journeys. Notably, Peyz, who was defeated by T1 in the semifinals of last year’s World Championship. The remaining names are only truly powerful domestically, while their international achievements have fluctuated greatly, and some have even had to retire with regret.
