Caedrel on why Faker will never be surpassed as the GOAT
There are players that supersede the word GOAT. Like Faker, I am pretty confident in saying will never be superseded.
Because the beautiful thing about Faker is he was the GOAT and then he had a downwards period and then he became the GOAT again for 4 years straight. So the past GOAT of Faker was Faker. That's why I think he will never break, because the only person who can rival T1 Faker's record is SKT Faker, when it comes to Worlds.
Does that mean there won't be another GOAT one day? No, obviously not but I feel like in terms of cultural impact, Worlds success, the peaks of the game's possibilities in the highest mountains, he has conquered all of it, multiple times over.
I think Keria is on track to be one of the GOATs, I think Chovy is on track.....Zeus. It's funny I remember saying this, maybe in 2022 or 23. A person in chat asked, "Who will be Faker's rival outside of Chovy."
And I said the person who overtakes Faker in success are the players next to him. Which I think still rings true right, like Keria, Guma, Zeus, and Oner. Whereever they go, those are the ones most likely to overtake his Worlds.
