League of Legends star Lee ‘Faker’ Sang-hyeok embarrassed himself on stream with a hilariously bad misplay.
Faker is known as one of the best League of Legends players of all time, having dominated in the mid-lane since 2013 and winning multiple World Championships.
He occasionally streams his solo queue games on Twitch, showing the world just how good he is.
However, sometimes he shows that even the best can struggle and this was the case in his latest stream as he was red in the face after a terrible play.
Faker is one of the best LoL players of all time.
The Korean was taking a break from his usual mid-lane and playing support with the champion Alistar. His abilities allow him to displace enemies, something that takes some skill to use correctly, as it can easily go wrong and help them.
Unfortunately for Faker, things went couldn’t have gone more wrong as he completely fumbled his attack. Not only did he knock an opponent away to safety, but he saved another opponent who was about to be killed.
The enemy that the SKT star knocked away ended up finishing off his ally, who was about to kill a different opponent. The fight turned from a significant advantage to a massive loss all thanks to one terrible move by Faker.
He was able to appreciate his fail, however, and let out an embarrassed laugh after realizing what he had done.
Faker is likely to continue streaming for some time as the League of Legends tournament circuit is currently on its usual offseason following the World Championship.
SKT T1 fell short of expectations at the event this year, being eliminated in 3rd-4th place behind G2 Esports and champions FunPlus Phoenix. Faker showed solid form at the tournament and fortunately didn’t surprise fans with an Alistar pick, as things would have definitely gone a lot worse.

Perkz’s Cloud9 debut doesn’t go as planned
The first day of LCK Lock In action didn’t go as planned for Luka ‘Perkz’ Perkovic and Cloud9, losing their first match of 2021 to Evil Geniuses. His 4/7/2 performance on Yone disappointed many, as Deftly shone on Kai’Sa.
100 Thieves’ new roster got off to a strong start against a new-look TSM, while CLG are 0-2 in 2021, losing to both Liquid and the rookie Golden Guardians lineup. Although they are without Broxah and Finn, the team failed to live up to their legacy.

Evil Geniuses last undefeated team at Lock In
After 100 Thieves fell down to a weakened CLG, Evil Geniuses remain the only undefeated team at Lock In. Their win against Immortals was dominant off the back of another great performance from Deftly and IgNar in bot.
Cloud9 came back strong after their disappointing loss to Evil Geniuses against FlyQuest with a near-perfect game, only losing one tower. TSM (against Golden Guardians) and Immortals (against Dignitas) also posted wins.

Evil Geniuses overtake Liquid to claim ‘favorites’ mantle
Evil Geniuses have extended their undefeated streak to the end of the opening weekend, defeating Dignitas to secure a 3-0 record. Their lead was helped along by a 100 Thieves upset win over Liquid, with Can ‘Closer’ Çelik and Victor ‘FBI’ Huang dictating the mid-game in their team’s second win.
On the other end of the spectrum, Counter Logic Gaming has become the first team eliminated from playoff contention early on Day 2.
The roster — which is missing Finn ‘Finn’ Wiestål and Mads ‘Broxah’ Brock-Pedersen due to visa issues — were punted after losing to arch-rivals TSM in a back and forth battle. Their 1-3 record leaves them without a chance to make finals.
Faker is one of the best LoL players of all time.
