Recently, the group stage matches of the League of Legends (LoL) event at the ASIAD took place. Naturally, the highlight of the attention was the debut of the Korean LoL team. This is because, due to some missing information, the Korean LoL team could not participate in the Road to Asian Games earlier this year. However, in a match against only two opponents, Hong Kong and Kazakhstan, it was not hard to predict that the Korean LoL team would advance through the group stage. People were only concerned with how Faker and his teammates would perform.
Of course, with such weak opponents, it was expected that the Korean players would defeat their rivals with a perfect record. Additionally, in the match against Kazakhstan featuring Faker, the Korean LoL team set the record for the second-fastest LoL match at ASIAD so far, finishing in just over 17 minutes. Moreover, Faker’s Yone also danced smoothly and he was the player with the most kills in this match.
However, Faker was not only mentioned for his performance with Yone, but also for a very… comedic moment. Specifically, Faker had a turret dive situation with Yone in the Top Lane, targeting the opponent’s Sion. However, perhaps due to a moment of excitement, combined with Yone’s low health and the opponent having Ignite, Faker miscalculated the turret damage. After two shots, Faker’s Yone was the one who had to go down.
Of course, this was just an entertaining moment in a game where the players from both teams understood the outcome. Therefore, such “overly excited” moments are understandable and will certainly not affect the mindset of the players in the tournament. Not to mention, the excitement is rising among the Korean LoL players, who have yet to unleash 100% of their potential. Therefore, the audience may have to wait until the Semifinals to truly see Faker and his teammates showcase their full capabilities.
