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

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.

That's the worst, when you know you fixed it at some point but not when it counts.

As yet another Faker fanboy, I'm quite tired of seeing E-hoon get PT over Faker.

Ya, I wasn't hating. He shouldn't be playing over Faker. If you think he should, you're a retard.

There is still some awkward phasing I'm going to go into and fix in the coming days to make this a better piece of history. I want to make it the best I can.

Secondly, I will be talking about Kkoma's influence a lot more and a bit of his background (STARCRAFT) in the second part.

Amazing article! This is, indeed, the closest to a TLFE I've read in a long time, and it's this type of articles that makes TL so great. Amazing job Fionn.

SK Telecom T1 are the most prestigious organization in esports.

That should be "is" unless SKT1 is means multiple organizations (like across teams?)

Awesome read. I really hope that some day Faker has a definitive rival that can match him beat for beat, because top level rivalries are exciting. I remember back in the days of Brood War with Boxer and iloveoov, Savior and Nada, Flash and Jaedong. ESPECIALLY Flash and Jaedong. In many ways, Faker reminds me of Jaedong - adaptive, mechanically unmatched, aggressive. Perhaps one day Korea will create a Flash that will challenge and possibly surpass Faker!

Oh god I didn't realise how much I missed reading your stuff Fionn. I missed seeing your name on SC2 stuff but this is great too.

Thank you so much for doing what you do, appreciated.

Its kind of unnerving to know that Faker had never lost a professional game on Leblanc or Zed up until s4

i kind of want him to play more farming rather than assassin heroes. he's overly aggressive at times in the recent past, which contributes to this view that he can't play farming champs. but faker's strength was always the efficient use of his time and decisionmaking. he will never be down on farm and his laning when he wants to play defensive is on another level.

the likes of easyhoon have never played the sort of matchups faker could play sometimes 1v2, but that requires faker to be in a better mindset.
