Hands down one of the best articles I have ever read about LoL esports. Can't wait for part 2.

This article seems like it wasn't so much a piece on Faker as it was a piece on the evolution of his team. Seemed to me like it was parts 2 through 5 of what would have been the definitive piece (or series) on SKT's history in League.

Way too much being put in to one article to reasonably expect anyone to read it.

...

But I did. And it was glorious. Well done Fionn once again.

" Uzi was Royal Club's Faker – the star they relied on to pull them through the dark times. If Faker was stopped, then they had no real other plan. "

Don't you mean, if Uzi was stopped?


Good read.

Great article, just wishing there was some sort of mention of kkOma, being such a great coach that managed to work with mostly inexperienced players and turning them into an actual team with innovative and aggressive strategies.

This is exactly the reason why I had always hoped TL would create a site for LoL: Excellent articles who are well researched and edited, coupled with kick ass graphics in a clean and slick layout.

I wish I could have written like that when I was involved in eSports.

Great job by Fionn and everyone involved. Keep 'em coming.

Cool. Now do one on Reach. Thx.


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.

So what you should be doing instead is studying up from now on in order to write a Horang2 LoL article after he takes over the world.

I actually quite like SKT being committed to giving both Easyhoon and Faker games, though I'm worried if it will hurt them in the long term.

I really love the idea of having different players specialise at different playstyles that you can substitute in though.

One of the few gigantic eSports articles I took the time to read out in full, without any skimming. Wonderfully written, Fionn.

+ Show Spoiler +
To prove I read the whole thing, I noticed this sentence:

"When one of them exposed a weakness in Faker's arsenal, he would retool, and take the knowledge to become an even better."

Should be either "become an even better player" or just "become even better".

I FIXED THAT IN AN EARLIER DRAFT! HOW DID IT REVERT!?

Thanks.

Great read, I really enjoy a long well-written article like this, because you get to reminisce about those times when everything started and how it evolved to this day. Can't wait for part 2.

Thanks Fionn!
