Last minute The world stood up after Putins decision in

Tonight in the night of Sunday, November 6th, the finals of the LoL Worlds 2022 in League of Legends will take place in San Francisco: 26-year-old Kim “Deft” Hyuk-kyu can become world champion with DRX. But an old school friend stands in his way. Unfortunately, today he is the best player of all time: Faker.

These are the two players:

  • Deft (26) is a botlaner who has worked in 6 different teams for years: it was never enough for great success. In 2020 and 2021 he was at the Worlds with DRX and Hanwha Life, but was kicked out early. This year, it took two medium-sized miracles for him to make the finals with his team of underdogs.
  • Faker, on the other hand, has been playing for the same team for 9 years, for “T1”, has become world champion there three times and has become a living legend. His team was considered a favorite to win Worlds 2022. Hardly anyone expected how strong the team really is. Suddenly Faker is playing as well as he did in his heyday, a young botlane seems to give him wings.

    • The Life of Faker – That’s why he’s a living legend

    Why is the match so special? Faker and Deft attended the same high school in South Korea 9 years ago. Both went to Mapo High School and were rivals even then. This emerges from a video interview by the Inven site in 2019.

    Deft said at the time: “I was the best player in my class. But in another class there was a player named Faker who was rank 1. I was like rank 100.”

    Faker, on the other hand, says: He didn’t even know who Deft was at the time. Of course he thought he was the best player at school.

    The interview revealed:

  • Deft knew very well who Faker was and that he was competing with him, after all, Faker became world champion at 17. He was “already very famous.”
  • From Faker’s answers, on the other hand, it appears that he hardly remembers Deft and doesn’t really know who he is
