An otherwise well-written article. One misinformation though.

Faker did form a ranked team with Bengi, Ssumday, Wraith (Samsung Support), and Kahaha (He's not in any team anymore AFAIK) to form a SoloQ "Super"-Team even before SKT. It was only disbanded because they couldn't find sponsor. So he did have experience in Ranked Team.

Source: http://www.inven.co.kr/webzine/news/?site=lol&news=51504


From pbang0529 on Reddit! All my information said he didn't play on any ranked 5's, but I guess I need to learn Korean. Thinking about it, I do remember hearing/listening to an old team that had Faker/Ssumday on it. Thanks to pbang0529 for the good information AND source.

I don't think I have the necessary information to do a LoL Reach coach article. I would have to get in contact and do a lengthy interview before doing one.

haha, no biggie. Faker fanboys don't know Reach fanboys yet.

I'm curious if you can get someone in NA. Maybe, Liquid^2 (should be more accessible now ^_^) or Reginald, etc.

Exquisitely written. I absolutely cannot wait for part 2.

I've watched every game that you referenced in your post and your writing has me in such nostalgia right now. Who knew that the Faker Nidalee first blood in their debut series against Blaze would be the beginning of the end for my beloved CJ Entus?

On the flip side who knew that uniting Space and Ambition was the secret formula to 2-0ing SKT? Long live Spacebition.

This is so good, I think I had a little tear come to my eyes. Articles like this are valuable not just for right here and right now in 2015, but maybe 5, maybe 10 years down the line when most people may have forgotten who our early heroes were. Thank you so much for writing this!
My modesty is awesome.

That was the Bullets' game. It wasn't just their quick, smart rotations that led them to advantages in out-manning the other team in fights. When the Bullets got a kill, they were calculated enough to know where to go to press their advantage. Kill two down bottom? Take turret, get vision over Dragon, and extend the gold lead even more. There have been teams who have been able to pull off similar tactics in terms of fighting, but no team has reached the level of Bullets' fluid objective moment. From sneaking Dragons and Barons, to their domino-effect kills into countless objectives, they might have been the smartest team to ever play the game.


Reading this made me sad. RIP KTB, the team that got me into watching competitive League Of Legends, may your honor live on in the legends that are Insec and KaKAO.
ayy lmao

Wonderful piece

Fionn is the Ver of LiquidLegends.

Which means he writes a shit ton of words and makes copy editors miserable.


God of the Battlefield is still my favourite eSports article.

This was awesome too though. Fun fact, Ozone were the only team with a greater than 50% record against SKT T1 K. They played 27 times and Ozone was 18-9.
