For those who didn't play the game back then: Consider that Leblanc wasn't meta at all. She was considered a bad pick and considering that this performance is even more insane in the context of history. Faker basically invented leblanc
Dancinglings in fact i distinctly remember people bitching about her being OP because her early game was too strong, the reason she wasnt seen in pro was because her late game was so retardedly weak even if you got ahead you had to be a god on her to do anything
one-dot-two Same as Anivia. The reason you don't see her in competetive is her very slow ramp time, but besides that she has insane lategame teamfighting, midgame powerspike and 1v1 lane control.
+Kasper Livbjerg We (koreans) were already watching his rise up through the SoloQueue rank. He was monster with Kassadin and Lissandra. Even american casters who watch korean scene know about Faker
Hello guys, thanks for watching my video. Faker so amazing, right? He and his team carry the world when they was 17 (World Championship Season 3 2013). Young and strong.
What a fun meta this was, when pros would play jayce top, karthus mid, zyra support, nasus jungle and sona. And they considered leblanc as a bad pick for mid. OMG this days seemed to be so fun.
+UnbounDxSpartaN yeah... there's nothing wrong with being sub, like how huhi is pobelter's sub on clg, they train together, different strengths probably
dunno what you guys think about this but i think that faker actually revolutionized league, i mean everyone back then was getting caught from his plays and now everyone has learned those plays from lcs/lck ppl who played against/with faker.
these were the fun days to watch pro LoL games. no real strategies, shit ton of kills not fighting only around objectives 5v5, and games rarely went past 30 mins
Mercyz nah i meant what i said, but bronze division's mechanics and basic game knowledge is pretty damn far from making the scenery that i described enjoyful to watch. can't remember the correct match up, but either way, it was last week's world tournament, where there were more dragons done, than kills at 40 mins. sure you can outplay your opponent on the map, and win the game through that, but i sure as hell would rather see a display of superior mechanical skills and teamfight capability. and the more the better.
skt s3 played very strategy oriented game, maybe it looks different now from s5 perspective or u arent knowledged enough to catch it, but i see clearly they had planned all things, their rotations on map was very smart
+XowntXihqX Well unfortunately for you, we probably won't see that since players have improved a lot and they deduced by themselves that their strategies are the best way to win games now.
+trollworkout Have you played Dota2? It looks nothing like league. The rift looks like this clean cut polished slab you fight on, whereas the arena you play in in Dota2 looks like something straight out of DnD.
+A7OldRscplayer You should learn how to read the description as well ''Sorry about the tittle, i'm wrong, Faker used Nidalee at the first game in pro-league not Leblanc.''
Oh my gosh, re-watching this game made me think back to the whole Karthrus vs Leblanc debate-which Faker had said that Karthus would win, agreeing with Froggen. His reason was that whenever Easyhoon and him 1v1ed as the two, Easyhoon would always win as Karthrus. The irony tho. xD
+TheGummie55 Money... they corrupt people. Imagine if the money from china go to Korea. Jeesus Christ.. I doubt the western teams will ever see shit if that happens in terms of international achievements.
+Spriteful Meto actually the ppl from china did go to korea and invest on a team now know as longzhu, they buy almost all the superstar player from last year and add them to their roster and keep the original 5 man to have a 10 roaster squard, they basically use money to gather all of them and longzhu is still a trash team even after that
i started playing league when braum came out(like mid season 4) and played a ton of league(like 800 norm wins atm) so going back and seeing the strategys and item buys in season 3, after only being exposed to the "newer stuff" is so wonkey ^.^
Creative Self Bow before me, started beta, before the servers were as we know them now, over 3k normal wins, shitload of hours played, still only low diamond unfortunately.
Herbu Sałustowicz wow, ive seen gameplay of the closed beta and it was halarious, no meta,super chill atmosphere. you just kinda did whatever, your situation scares me a bit tho, i put alot of time into the game and play to get better more than have fun at times lol, hopefully this is the correct atitude ;c
Beta was like that because noone knew what the fuck the game was about, but people quickly defined some types of meta like Ashe/MF mid and bruiser/support bot lane with AP Carry top and a jungler, but due to some op mechanics like dodge runes and stuff the game was totally unbalanced, it was fun tho. And that beta icon is dope.
+MUGEN TV Yep. As soon as Ghostcrawler came from the WOW pvp balance team , over to Riot games. League adapted the same style as Wow. Tank champions are the meta and its all about getting through armor now.
its so funny how League changed. Back then, the flash Sona Ult was an "amazing" play, today we would notice that Varus hits the turret once and the coordination is totally off, as he runs out while Sona flashes in, but back in the days that was an amazing play by everyone. Incredible how much better League players got from there on.
+Josias Br Piglet was trying to kill the turret in order to continue the tower dive (MVP bot lane wasn't going anywhere and he was taking turret shots). Zyra flashes forward to kill Varus who was being requiem'd by Karthus with her own ult but is unable to kill him because he flashes northward, completely but barely dodging Zyra ult damage (his barrier was full shield). There was no misplay at all here by SKT.
+Josias Br That play WAS amazing. MVP probably didn't think they would get tower dived but their tower was low on health so Poohmandu shotcalls that play, flash ults with Sona right after tower shoots first shot at minions (buys more time to tower dive) BUT Zyra catches Piglet with her E same time Sona flash ults, Varus is stuck so all he can do is ult to keep them there longer until he kills the tower. SO RISKY because Varus had to tank the tower and MVP had Karthus Ult, but piglet's flashing/dodging Zyra Ult and Zyra Passive + Impact's shen ult on Sona won that team fight. Purely outplayed. Shame on you for thinking pros weren't good back then!
Man i miss the old league! skill first above everything else, in season 3 the champions actually felt powerfull and fun to play.. league needs some buffs
Trish Phan no. Back then SK Telecom had 2 league of legends team. #1 and #2. Because the differences of the teams were just numbers, casters gave them different names to help cast them easier. So #2 was named Judgement Day.
+Pancreas Dragonheart So first off no, Back during this game she wasn't even meta, she was b - c tier because of how hard she falls off. Next for her being op atm, that's just hilariously wrong, there are tons of champions that do what she does but better. Making her q a skill shot would make her the single worst champion in the game by far. She wouldn't beable to fight in a minion wave (or clear one effectively) and she would never beable to pull of a fast poke combo (W (for distance) then Q,R,E or Q,E). Because she wouldn't beable to aim 3 skill shots in less then a milisecond. It would be impossible. She already has a poor winrate and is rarely picked competitively, That would be like kicking a weak champions knee's in and blindfolding her.
Faker still stomps with LeBlanc, even when he was baited to pick LB against EDG in Msi, he still did pretty well despite playing against a team comp catered to clynter his LB
+4SidedStar Yup. PawN was such a shitty mid laner in all of those 5 games. Easyhoon outclassed him by doing How To Orianna/Cassi 1v1 match up ,both sides of the coin 2.0 V5 Guide. I haven't seen other mid laner getting dived so frequently as PawN. Yet.. his ego still thinks the Morgana pick was the key to victory. Maybe that -50 CS and 1 -2 lvls below Faker was THE HUGE catalyst, Kappa.
For those who didn't play the game back then: Consider that Leblanc wasn't meta at all. She was considered a bad pick and considering that this performance is even more insane in the context of history. Faker basically invented leblanc
+Dancinglings leblanc wasnt considered a bad pick just a mediocre pick
poppy was a bad pick
one-dot-two I'd say below average to bad. Same as you would say about anivia atm ( eventhough shes sick for soloq )
Dancinglings in fact i distinctly remember people bitching about her being OP because her early game was too strong, the reason she wasnt seen in pro was because her late game was so retardedly weak even if you got ahead you had to be a god on her to do anything
one-dot-two Same as Anivia. The reason you don't see her in competetive is her very slow ramp time, but besides that she has insane lategame teamfighting, midgame powerspike and 1v1 lane control.
+Dancinglings you forgo the zone control of anivia but she got replaced by viktor :(
AND FROM THAT DAY, THEY ALL FEARED HIM

What a fun meta this was, when pros would play jayce top, karthus mid, zyra support, nasus jungle and sona. And they considered leblanc as a bad pick for mid. OMG this days seemed to be so fun.
lmao these days karthus would be way to immobile to even survive midlane leblanc or any other meta mids

+david yang i think he just meant based off single players.. he worded it completely wrong

wait this is fkn easyhoon vs faker? xD didnt know that at all holy shit what a story
the good old days
Yea now league is such shit.. so unbalanced..
I really miss the girl that did the champion guide videos too :(
the game is actually shit now.. past 4 seasons are 1 big blur
@@xtagin5688 KUSANTEE
Faker was one-shotting supports so early into games they had to completely rework the support role 😂😂😂
Great point there, Dyrone. It was in fact a Flamingo kill.
Faker's debut game was on Nidalee vs CJ, not on Leblanc.
+xNamsu this is his leblanc debut game
+xNamsu learn to read
rekt
+A7OldRscplayer You should learn how to read the description as well ''Sorry about the tittle, i'm wrong, Faker used Nidalee at the first game in pro-league not Leblanc.''
***** You should learn to read the title. Look at the title. (FIRST LEBLANC) Fucking dumbass
omg nasus jungle in a professional league.. i miss those times lol
It's almost the end of 2024, and Faker is still as cool as ever. Who would have known that he would be an unkillable demon king?
You could simply change the title to "Faker's debut LeBlanc game"
If you pause it at the right moment at 14:30, you can see they have MSN open. Those were the days :')
22:30 Definition of Faker.
this wasnt his debut game. but it was the one that launched him to fame :)
Its his debut for lb not for league
Yeah i think so, you can find the game on youtube, he went like 9/0 or something, insane spears
Bjersen played Lenlanc, on his debut game with TSM.
For those of you who wonder, Chunyang is former Samsung Blue's support, Heart and Cheonju is former Samsung Blue's top, Acorn (current LGD's top)
Oh my gosh, re-watching this game made me think back to the whole Karthrus vs Leblanc debate-which Faker had said that Karthus would win, agreeing with Froggen. His reason was that whenever Easyhoon and him 1v1ed as the two, Easyhoon would always win as Karthrus.
The irony tho. xD
the days before EasyHoon joined skt and the day that everyone feared faker :)
Awww poor easy hoon at least now he is on the winning team and is along side faker. 😎👏🏻

Everything about the whichever season this game was on was amazing. LB with silence. Those were the days
4:55 LOL ARE THEY REALLY GONNA LOCK THIS IN?! referring to the quinn top, and here we are in s6 where its 3 adc comps are meta LOL
+Ben Shanks Quinn top has always been a semi meta thing.
Making LeBlanc look good, he said. Faker creating meta.
Faker's LB is scary as hell.
How Faker is now show cased in the intro
lol i forgot how small the dragon used to be. looks like a baby.
I cant believe people believed Karthus late game was stronger than LB late game during these times!! Lol.
I miss this LB so bad.
That smile on faker's face after the switch. lol
It's the witness-the-cursor-mouse-controlled spectator mode, the only true spectator mode
5:32 He smiles. He already knew he was the best.
Damn back then the game sounds were really loud that sometimes you couldnt even listen to monte and doa
its weird how much this game has changed from these days...i mean look these kills .they are not even impressive nowadyays
that's the tank and juggernaut meta for ya luckily it over
It was impressive because LeBlanc was considered shit back then.
the pressure is so intense in this game
This brings me so much joy

Thats not his debut game, just the first Leblanc game. In his debut game he was playing nidalee, while solo killing Ambition.

I love how everything was free, never able to play this kind of LoL. :(
+MUGEN TV Yep. As soon as Ghostcrawler came from the WOW pvp balance team , over to Riot games. League adapted the same style as Wow. Tank champions are the meta and its all about getting through armor now.
Well everything is still "free", you can still main Yorick for example and still be able to climb to Plat (which is quite an achievement)
A legend rising :P
Check Yasuo montage here: ua-cam.com/video/kZPHif3kE4g/v-deo.html
This is not the debut game, i think. He fist appearance was in the world championship.

what a fancy way to debut
what was the "judgement day" that they kept mentioning

+Tubsmctubson oh thx bud

Hey does anyone know what "Judgement Day" is referring to? The casters keep saying that.
Sk telecom T2 judgement day was the korean teams full name but the shout casters decided to shorten it to judgement day since it sounded cooler XD
Ah, that makes sense. Thanks.
Trish Phan no. Back then SK Telecom had 2 league of legends team. #1 and #2. Because the differences of the teams were just numbers, casters gave them different names to help cast them easier. So #2 was named Judgement Day.
+Jastro88 skt t1 s was the terminator and skt t1 k was judgement day
Why isnt judgement day the Sk telecom T1 instead of T2... They were way better

and that is why faker plays mid almost everygame and easyhoon is sub
