It can be said that in the League of Legends scene today and even in the future, when Faker retires from professional play, it will be hard for any player to match the achievements of Faker. Even just in the domestic league with 10 LCK championships, that alone is a significant feat, not to mention individual awards or international titles. There’s no need to overstate it: Faker is the one and only G.O.A.T of League of Legends, from the past to the present and even into the future.
Recently, fans have proposed a “milestone” that if Faker achieves it, no one would dare to think about succeeding him or reaching his heights, let alone surpassing him. According to this, a netizen jokingly commented: “Faker’s career currently seems almost unattainable. But he still has one more step to make his career unique in Esports history: Become a Support and win the Worlds title for the fifth time. At that point, the game will end.”
This opinion has surprisingly become very popular in the League of Legends audience community and has thrilled many. In fact, quite a few viewers have even suggested more “unbelievable” or even “unrealistic” milestones like “Faker buys an LCS team and wins the Worlds” or “switching lanes with Keria so he can use Lux in Mid Lane while Faker gets a Worlds skin with a Support champion.”
Of course, such lane switches have occurred in the history of professional League of Legends before. In fact, SKT T1 once had to let Wolf play the Jungle position when no player was credible enough to take on that important role. Some players have even admitted that their debut positions were far from what they are today. However, aside from Ambition who switched lanes and won the Worlds alongside a few exceptional cases, most have not been truly successful.
Furthermore, this is likely just a playful suggestion from the League of Legends audience. As mentioned, Faker will always be the G.O.A.T of League of Legends, regardless of whether he wins any more titles after this season, both in the domestic and international arenas.
