For League of Legends players in general, excelling in this game does not necessarily mean they must be number one or have the same level as professional players in other games. This is not only true in League of Legends or esports but also in life, where being excellent in one’s specialty is often enough. However, there are exceptions, such as Faker, who not only excels at League of Legends but is also highly skilled in Starcraft and is a long-time “devotee” of Jump King.
However, Faker’s teammate and younger colleague, Zeus, does not belong to the minority of exceptions like his senior. Recently, he had an experience in a first-person shooter game. Unfortunately, Zeus used a sniper rifle but kept missing his shots. While the opponent was constantly moving, it was clear that Zeus demonstrated poor observation and reflex skills when playing fps.
Witnessing the FMVP of the 2023 Worlds finals play fps, a “hardcore” fan of T1 exclaimed: “Thank you, Riot, for creating League of Legends. And thank you, Riot, for creating an environment where this young man can express himself. I can even hear Faker’s voice echoing, ‘I told you so.'”
In fact, fps games are quite different from MOBA games like League of Legends. The speed of observation and reflexes required in these games is very high. Although there aren’t always situations that require players to quickly “flick the map,” just a split second can change the game’s dynamics. Furthermore, if players are used to third-person perspective games, switching to a fast-paced first-person view is also a significant challenge.
And perhaps Zeus himself has focused on League of Legends, becoming a true superstar in his field. Therefore, the fact that he may not be skilled at some other games will likely be completely accepted by the audience.
