Faker's Best 'LoL' Moments

GINX TV provided some of the best moments of Faker during the "League of Legends" World Championships. These include the following: 

T1 Vs. Edward Gaming (EDG) 2017 

• In this round against EDG, Faker used his favorite Oriana character, allowing him and his teammates to make wonderful gameplay, thanks to Huni's Chogat and Wolf's Rakan. 

T1 Vs. Cloud 9 2017 

• In the match against Cloud 9 (C9), Faker was being bullied by the enemy team's Ryze and Reksai. But, despite the two-man gank in the first part of the game, Lee still managed to show his dominant skill when using Cassiopea. Greatly timing his ult, he was able to freeze Reksai, baiting him to the tower with his low HP and getting the first blood kill. 

Faker's One and Only Penta Kill

• Although he is a skilled player, Faker only managed to have one Penta Kill during his eight-year career. During T1's match against NaJin e-mFire, currently known as Fredit BRION, Sang-Hyeok used one of his favorite midlane heroes, Leblanc. 

In other news, "League of Legends" Zeri is expected to arrive soon. Meanwhile, "League of Legends" Patch 11.24B badly nerfed Lux.
