League of Legends: Top 5 best teammates ever played with Faker

Over the past six years, SK Telecom T1 has been the team with the most stars on the roster in LoL history. Built around the demon king Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok, SKT has won many international titles that other teams would envy. The upcoming 2019 season is no different: new talent revolves around Faker and the highly anticipated 2019 SKT roster.

No matter how good the new SKT is, Faker will play extremely well when sharing the same shirt with these players in 6 years of being with them. Certainly 2018 was the most forgettable year for Faker as well as SKT, but that still doesn’t take away the reputation of the most successful team in League of Legends history.

Here are the 5 best names that Faker has ever played with:

5) Wolf

In 5th place is the support player who has fought with Faker for many years and won many titles together. Lee “Wolf” Jae-wan is the eyes of SKT, with his observational skills Wolf brought many advantages to SKT in the late game. Wolf’s playstyle is not dependent on individual skill and SKT’s bot lane pairing is always difficult in the early game. But when SKT was awarded the title of “King of Bets” in 2016-2017, Wolf was a significant contributor to maintaining the game and tactics for the whole team.

But when the style of League of Legends switched to taking advantage of the early game in 2018, Wolf did not have time to adapt and had to sit on the bench for the rest of the time. Currently, Wolf has moved to Turkey and plays for SuperMassive eSports. But SKT fans will always remember him, a man who always knew how to keep the team upbeat during a difficult season.

4) Impact

Many players have left SKT to find new challenges and good money, but few have succeeded in leaving. It seems that by competing with Faker, they can stand out.

But nothing is without exception, Impact is that exception. Leaving SKT after winning the 2013 World Championship, going to North America to compete and become a star in the NA LCS. By far, Impact is probably the most suitable top laner for Faker, someone who knows how to apply pressure and flexibly deal with aggressive top laners. Since Impact left, SKT’s top lane has been constantly changing blood from Marin, Duke, Huni to Untara or Thal. Since then, there has always been an unanswered “what if” question. “If Impact didn’t leave SKT, what would Faker’s career be like?”

3) Marin

Marin is the next player to Impact’s top lane, the MVP of Worlds 2015 was initially skeptical of fans, but Marin erased the doubt with his superior skills to become the leader of SKT.

On the surface, it looks like Marin just calls on the jungler to gank his lane all the time. But that only Marin understands the pressure in the laning phase. Marin is known for his impeccable teleporting and roaming skills and delivering top-notch teamfights.

In the final of Worlds 2015 Marin and SKT were almost undefeated and won the championship in a completely convincing way. Certainly, SKT’s new top laner Kim “Khan” Dong-ha is expected to do the same.

2) Bang

If SKT has a stable top laner, it will put a lot of pressure on Faker and the Bot duo to work freely. Then for many years Bang was a rock that held the bottom area of ​​the map.

Bang has never been a flashy ADC. Bang’s style is to farm evenly, so SKT’s ADC is often interested in and camped by the enemy jungle. But if SKT keeps Bang with good minion stats, he’ll turn into an unstoppable monster.

There’s a reason why SKT’s style slowly shifted towards late game focus. It worked because Bang had a very keen sense. He has a great sense of how to take the most damage out of his opponents in teamfights and seizes opportunities to kill opponents with his superb skills. You can’t get 1,000 kills in the LCK with meek gameplay. Bang has always liked to play carry and he succeeded.

1) Bengi

In first place is none other than Bengi, the only person in the world with the same number of Worlds titles as Faker. The one called: “God’s right hand”, after Bengi left the jungle position of SKT has never been stable.

Remember the times when Bengi saved SKT in the important moments, the satisfied smiles, the face like a person near the end of his career. But when SKT needs the “God of the Forest” will appear and be the wings to bring SKT to the top of glory.

Bengi has never been a flamboyant, pragmatic but effective player. He has taught generations of junglers how to control the map and vision for riders. Many times we see SKT’s mid lane is always the safest place, Bengi always ensures absolute safety for Faker.

Faker always plays brilliantly when there is Bengi in the team, when everyone thinks Faker goes to the left, Bengi knows for sure that Faker will go to the right. That’s why Bengi is the perfect partner for Faker. The greatest couple in the history of LoL, hopefully we will see it again with Clid or Haru two promising rookies of SK Telecom T1.
