I was under the impression that he got played pretty often and SKT fans didn’t think of him as "not-faker", but maybe I just got the wrong impression from worlds and the casters there.

He only played 4 games at Worlds and two of those were against H2K and Bangkok Titans that went a combined 2-10 in groups. SKT used a bit more than that in the regular season but when the stakes really mattered he mostly got relegated to the bench.

This would never have happened on Liquid. They would have kicked Faker for being toxic and ruining team atmosphere.

Regardless of the era of the team, surely Saint, Dom, or Dardoch would have invented some kind of revolutionary new slur to use on him to keep him in his place.

You would have to start the season completely nude and could only put on articles of clothing corresponding to the completion of your 5 or 8 piece armor set in the raid instance.

he just told an amazing story about how he asked Sneaky to give him a good leash in a pro game and sneaky wouldn't so he told him to kill himself and that's why he's not on C9 anymore. also, he's the best solo-queue jungler I've ever seen in my life.
Based on this advice, I watched him. His stream is ridiculous. He is successfully 1v5ing half the time while commentating every decision he makes.

I've stumped pretty hard for Fnatic in the past but I do not think their team this year has what it takes. I think H2K should beat them and I think they are going to miss worlds.

GBM to jungle sounds like Ambition going to the jungle. Although Ambition was a lot better in his prime than GBM ever was and he also actually beat GBM as a midlaner. A lot of people are calling for Santorin to join Echo Fox. I don't want to see Froggen/Santorin mid jungle synergy where they do nothing until 40minutes. Would make sense though since Hard is absolute garbage even if he tries to make plays early on and Santorin is Danish like Froggen.
