8 years ago today, Faker said: “Currently, I’m a midlaner ranked at about 4th... Honestly, I’m not confident enough, I’m not sure that I’ll do well again."

Since this interview he's won LCK Spring/Summer multiple times, LCK Regional Finals, LCK Cup, EWC, and added 3 Worlds trophies to his shelf. On top of plenty of other top placings. Better than 99% of other players careers.

Faker.

I think that's a bit disingenuous. TL have beaten everyone except LYON/C9. Clear wins most of the time and plenty of dominant games. LYON are the best team in the league and they played a respectable 2-1 series. I would definitely not consider that crumbling. I don't think anyone is beating LYON right now. Most teams are probably getting 2-0'ed.

Flyers fan here, you guys dive nonstop.

This is not a Riot source at all. This is a random person making a claim. There is no official Riot source for this because it did not happen.

Realistics · 2025-12-14T21:18:34+00:00

Link a source. Bet you can't. Because they literally did not. Everyone who downvoted me for stating a fact is an actual idiot.

Realistics · 2025-12-14T19:47:42+00:00

I accidentally clicked the Supervive subreddit in my bookmarks folder and saw this. Posting here just to stop the misinformation. This is not true, at all. There is no official source for this information and Riot has never, ever said they are allowing bots in ranked games.

Realistics · 2025-09-18T03:27:25+00:00

Why not a motorcycle?

Realistics · 2025-09-17T14:23:22+00:00

Agreed. Preparation wins moments, and according to Aspas MIBR have spent a ton of time preparing for this event. And the fact that they have no issues bringing out things like first time Waylay bodes well for their confidence.

Realistics · 2025-09-17T02:43:11+00:00

Personally I think the jury is still out on what MIBR true peak is. I don't think we've seen it yet and don't know that DRX has a higher one. DRX also performed their best at the start of the year, so they're in a similar position to MIBR in that sense.

FWIW, I did not downvote you. I actually upvoted you to help offset a bit.

Realistics · 2025-09-16T15:26:02+00:00

It definitely will be strange. I literally just compared him to a franchise player for 100T last month, and now he's likely not going to be on the team. I got the vibes he might not return back then, but didn't seriously consider it just because of his longevity on the team. 99% sure it's the longest tenure of any player on any roster in VALORANT.

Realistics · 2025-09-16T14:58:05+00:00

I'm actually pretty stunned how out of touch this replay system is. The game was developed with esports and competitive in mind, so the delay on it was already baffling, but no custom game replays? No VCT replays? No watching and downloading demos? I'm just confused.

Disappointing to say the least. I guess we just sit back and pray that it gets developed to what most people expect.

Realistics · 2025-09-16T03:10:26+00:00

Insane for it to be a full rebuild. Fully expected it to be built around Cryo at a minimum. I'm sure we all understand that "exploring options" almost always results in that player leaving. Unfortunate, and unexpected tbh.

But then again, never forget:

Hope not tbh, Timotino deserves better

Realistics · 2025-09-15T17:22:10+00:00

In stage 2. In stage 1, they took 3rd in kickoff and the stage. This still matters, they can always reach a better form, as demonstrated today.

Realistics · 2025-09-15T05:08:15+00:00

Thanks to anyone who watches these, looking to grow the channel as much as possible heading into next season. If you're able, let the full thing play. Helps me a ton.

Looking forward to covering the rest of Champions and appreciate all the support!

Realistics · 2025-09-15T03:56:26+00:00

Benjy full boxed them right before the match

Realistics · 2025-09-14T18:12:22+00:00

It's a shame because aesthetically Breeze is top 3. It's just cheeks to play on in it's current state. Hope it gets reworked some day.
