For regular gamers, teaming up with Faker is likely an unforgettable experience, even if it’s just a normal ranked match. Many streamers and players have been incredibly excited to find a “Hide on bush” genuine player on their team. Of course, with players like Faker, the skill level is clearly very high. But if anyone gets that experience, they would surely feel elated, whether they are teammates or opponents.
However, that might not be the recent experience of Kanavi, who accidentally played ranked and teamed up with Faker. Specifically, in a recent ranked game, the superstar of JD Gaming was paired with Faker. Kanavi used Nidalee while Faker played Yone. Their prestigious team was winning and had pushed all the way to the enemy’s base. However, in a rather humorous situation, Kanavi was taken down despite Faker standing right next to him.
In that situation, when the enemy’s Jhin used Death’s Theater, Kanavi was extremely low on health. However, Faker was full health and with Yone, he could easily block all four bullets for his teammate. In fact, Faker managed to block one. But when it came to the second bullet, the “Chairman” moved aside while Kanavi couldn’t keep up. As a result, Kanavi was taken down while Faker was left confused, asking: “What was that?” Afterwards, Kanavi continuously pinged Faker’s position while Faker quietly… laughed it off.
The situation likely occurred because Faker didn’t think the opponent would ambush just one position, so he decided to move to draw the bullets. However, when Faker intentionally “mind-gamed” the opponent, he ended up causing Kanavi to “suffer” because JDG’s jungler couldn’t keep up or predict the legendary teammate’s movement.
The collaboration between Faker and Kanavi brought many interesting experiences as well as the two players secured a victory. However, it is certain that Kanavi also faced a “laughable yet tragic” situation, not just a joyful experience of ranking up with Faker.
