Professional players of League of Legends Not only have to pull a great mechanical repertoire to overcome rivals. There are times when not enough ability to get rid of a bad play. However, what neither all the talent in the world could resolve can be achieved intelligence. That is what Faker has demonstrated once more. In the semifinals of MSI 2022, the player managed to deceive Caps in a humiliating way to get out of a bad situation that he could not have escaped in any other case.
Faker's intelligence to make CAPS ridiculous
It all starts with Faker getting into a mess while he tries to overcome the difficult first minutes of Akali's game. A moment of weakness that Caps takes advantage of perfectly to begin an exchange in which everything pointed out that he would eliminate his rival. However, the Korean Mid Lner uses a classic League of Legends technique, the “ Ninja Flash ”. This trick is well-known by the players of qualifying games in any MMR, but barely appears in competitive. The vision of such high-level teams does not usually offer opportunities, but Faker was not shaking his pulse to try his luck.
Let's look where we look at it, Faker corrects his initial error as no other player could have done it and manages to execute himself to avoid giving the first blood to his rivals. The T1 player looks for the perfect zone to use the flash, causing CAPS to have three possibilities: the simple security of the escape towards the base, the most convoluted fled to the area of Baron Nashor or the path chosen by MID LANER DE T1. The truth is that the European player did not do it wrong by pulling the flash to cover the two most likely options and realizes what really happened.
It is true that the play looks somewhat ridiculous from CAPS's point of view, but there is nothing that he could have done . Faker simply made the most intelligent decision than almost no other League of Legends professional would have thought. G2 eSports (and almost all teams) almost never has a vision in that map area during the first minutes to be inaccessible to supports. However, you have to be there and realize at the time it is the only possible escape route. An intelligence and veteran demonstration that, without being decisive, helps T1 fight for the championship.
