"It's Faker's world and you're just living in it": Caedrel talks highly of Faker after his win at Worlds 2023
[Timestamp: 04:36:00]
Faker showcased a dominant performance in T1's quarterfinal matchup against LNG Esports, with him getting seven kills and a whopping sixteen assists with only two deaths throughout this Worlds 2023 series. He also had the highest Creep Score (CS) out of all the players of both teams. He accumulated 9 CS per minute, which is considered excellent, along with 428 damage per minute (DPM) and 0.50 Wards per minute (WPM).
For those uninitiated, Creep Score refers to how many minions or monsters you have killed throughout the duration of the game. It is practically the in-game currency for the match, and having higher CS provides you more gold to buy items, giving you an edge over your opponent.
Wards per minute (WPM), on the other hand, is used to measure the efficiency of ward placement in League of Legends, showcasing better map awareness and control.
Marc was awestruck by Faker's performance, leading the team to victory by coming in clutch with perfectly timed and synchronized gameplay. Talking over the live broadcast of the match, he stated:
"Just appreciate Faker. That guy is built different. He is. Faker is constructed alternatively."
As the casters were appreciating T1 team members Gumayusi and Keria's dominant performances, Marc was more focused on Faker:
"Just stop the discussion. Stop. Stop this based take that Faker's not the GOAT, shut your f**king mouth, he is. Stop trying to be different, stop trying to be based, just accept reality. It's Faker's world and you're just living in it."
