Faker Reveals His Talents as a Future Coaching Star
In the current professional League of Legends scene, when it comes to experience and knowledge about the game, Faker is undoubtedly one of the first names that comes to mind. Not only does he rely on his gameplay or practice, but Faker also regularly reads patch updates and reviews replays, paying attention to every detail in a match. Recently, a clip was released showing that Faker even surprised the T1 coaching staff with his sharp observations and analyses.
Specifically, there was a moment when Faker reviewed a replay and quickly noticed that the Siege Minions were attacking the tower faster than usual. This is an extremely minor detail that one might not even catch after playing thousands of games. In fact, Faker’s keen eye for detail is even more impressive when he called T1’s coach Roach, who did not immediately recognize the issue and had to rely on Faker’s analysis to see it.
It can be said that to quickly detect such “abnormalities,” one must thoroughly understand the processing speed of each minion and pay close attention to tiny details. Usually, players only focus on themselves, their teammates, and opponents while assessing the game state, buffs, and wards… which is already a lot to handle. Meanwhile, minions are the most basic and least significant units in a match, often easily overlooked.
If Faker Becomes a Coach, He Might Even Succeed More Than Coach KkOma
Faker undoubtedly possesses the qualities to become one of the most talented coaches in League of Legends. He has a profound understanding of the game and a purely technical leadership ability. Moreover, Faker’s reputation and influence are substantial enough to command respect from any player.
Additionally, his time as a player has honed Faker’s ability to handle pressure and maintain professional conduct. In other sports, many superstars have found success in both playing and coaching positions. If Faker follows this path, he could even surpass his mentor, Coach KkOma, who remains the most successful coach in professional League of Legends history.
