One of the most popular LoL players – Faker – once again showed amazing reflexes

League of Legends

Faker dodged the Skillshot he saw for a brief split second.


Faker may already be considered a League of Legends legend. He is one of the most successful esports players by far, both among those associated with Riot’s production and around the world in general. The player is so recognizable that in Korea he has become the face of many products, such as ice cream.

The player deserves such great recognition with his great skills, which he has been presenting to fans for years both during the broadcast of games from the ranked queue and on the professional stage, where he and his team win numerous titles. With his gameplay, Faker has repeatedly proved that he deserves to be called one of the best LoL players. What caught the fans’ attention this time?

Faker’s amazing reflexes

Faker in one of the ranked games took Fiora to mid lane. In a relatively early phase of the game, he had to return to the base to buy items and restore health. During the recall, he decided to take a look at his team’s situation, open the leaderboard and see what was happening on top or bot. In a moment, however, something was about to happen that really impressed everyone who watched the broadcast.

In a situation in which hardly anyone would expect the opponent’s move, Faker was able not only to notice it in advance, but also to react appropriately using Fiora’s W. Thanks to his reflexes, the player avoided taking damage, and thus survived without giving the opposing jungler gold.

Many commenters admitted that they had to watch the video several times to even notice what actually happened. AshleyKang – an interviewer and journalist who mainly reports on the LCK – decided to make this task a little easier by slowing down the video.

The slow-motion shows that Faker had really little time to react. The entire action was commented on by Caedrel – a former player and currently an analyst at Riot Games Inc. and content creator for Excel Esports.

Now I am convinced that Faker is a robot.

It is certainly not the last time the player in question has shown such an impressive reflex. Nevertheless, each of these types of situations is worth watching.
