Easyhoon is actually Faker's alter ego. The anti-flashy player that gets the same work done.

With the exception of game 2 from the other night, I wouldn't say they get the same work done at all...

This is the type of article we need. People focus way too much on highlight reels and outplays that they forget to look at the people who consistently play at a high, yet not as flashy level. It's like the people who forget about farm because they just want kills. While Faker definitely deserves all the hype he gets, sometimes the people playing the not as bursty, showy champions deserve some recognition.

To be fair, Froggen and Alex got a lot of recognition for their farming shenanigans in Season 2.

I've actually talked to the head of SKT and she said that a LOT of offers came in for him but Easyhoon just wants to stay with SKT. He knows that he's in Faker's shadow but I think it pushes him to work harder. Also, imagine always having the God himself practicing with you!

I like Easyhoon's style. He is taking on the impossible task of defeating Faker. It takes balls when he could start for almost any team in the world. He's taking his shot at God.

The head of SKT is a girl? That's pretty awesome!

Oh, that's interesting. It's kind of a shame in a way though. Still, SKT seem committed to giving him games at the moment and he's been performing well.

I immensely enjoyed your style of writing in this article. I also found it very informative as I didn't know very much about Easyhoon. Please keep going! It was very enjoyable to read and look forward to your future work!

Excellent writeup man, summed up the first match of Champion's series extremely well!

This is my first time trying to keep up with the champions series, so the first match featuring SKT was really great. Watching Faker FP Xerath was definitely confusing, but then again, he was Faker, so who was I to question?

After game one I thought it was a great move to put in Easyhoon, even if it was pre-determined, Faker probably needed a little break after that performance. Easyhoon was a breath of fresh air for me. Seeing all the assassin midlaners in NALCS coming back into favor it was really cool to see GOOD Xerath play (against ZED of all opponents.) Of course, game 3 was all Faker (to be honest I felt awful for Ggoong, 4 deaths so quickly is extremely demoralizing).

But all in all, I enjoyed game 2 the most. Easyhoon is most definitely a compliment to SKT T1, and he's already become one of my favorite players. Here's hoping he can get some minutes over the god himself!

Nice read as always. Personally I never liked Easyhoon's playstyle but you can't take away the fact that he has produced results. Though I wonder how much that first pick Xerath was Faker's decision as it was Kkoma's. Remember coaches are now allowed in the booths and if you saw the cam it was Kkoma and Marin talking on camera through the p/b

Thanks Fionn, I loved this style of article when I was following SC2 religiously years and years ago and now I get it for league. <3

Seriously looking forward to more articles and hopefully in a year or two, final edits for LoL. I feel it deserves it for becoming the first 'mainstream' esport.

Apparently I need to go back and watch game 2 because all I saw was Bang carry. I guess I saw Ehoon hit a couple easy Xerath ults.

(I love ehoon, just thought Bang won the game for them).

Thanks to the guy on Reddit who pointed out me typing 'League and Legends' instead of 'League of Legends'.

Not intentional! Hah.

Also: stab him in continuously in. I read that sentence twenty times and didn't see it until someone bolded. I am tired.

Eh, Faker out-CS them too though.
