In the history of League of Legends, there have been many great players who have made significant contributions to the game and professional tournaments. However, as of now, it is hard to find anyone who surpasses Faker in terms of influence or titles. Even in rival regions of the LCK like the LPL, Faker is still regarded as the most prestigious and greatest Mid Laner. However, if one had to find a player with a similar level of influence in the region and League of Legends, many would likely think of Uzi.
And the former Bilibili Gaming coach – Tabe thinks so too, as during a recent stream, the coach who once caused grief for T1 at MSI 2023 and subsequently eliminated Gen.G at the same year’s World Championship made a controversial statement. Coach Tabe stated: “The strength and talent of Uzi are a level above Faker. It’s just that Uzi was unlucky to have teammates not as skilled as Faker’s. If Uzi had teammates who played better, he could have had more than 4 championships.”
Of course, as a key opinion leader and a character with significant influence in the LPL, it is understandable that Coach Tabe has a fondness for Uzi. However, from this statement, many people realized that Coach Tabe was essentially admitting that he himself was too inadequate to help Uzi achieve titles. For those who don’t know, Coach Tabe was once a teammate of Uzi on Royal Club during the 2013 World Championship. At that time, Royal Club lost to Faker’s SKT T1 in the finals, marking the beginning of SKT T1 and Faker’s dominance.
Moreover, the Royal Club team, which later became Royal Never Give Up, was never short of talented players. There were Godlike and later Letme – top LPL Top Laners at that time,
