IWD response to my post: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMgbK1x52rQ&ab_channel=IWDClips%26Highlights

I got lots of heat and hate in my previous post about Faker’s micromovement. Non-T1 fans and IWD mocked me about how dumb/stupid the post was about. But hey, Faker had a live-stream reviewing every single T1 game in Worlds. During the review on T1 vs LNG, Faker himself explained what happened.

Faker’s response (1:53~2:07): https://youtu.be/38H_lcL7e-U?si=u-JW3rJt3Hjmntp9&t=113

- Translations:

“Azir is csing the minions here (in the circle)”

“I am purposely giving him the range to toss me into the tower”

“Azir is probably looking at the minion (arrow) right now and he is probably thinking ‘I should toss him after this melee minion’. But if I turn on W and just move slightly back like this, Azir gets a disadvantage. Just like that.”

    Yea and the Tarzan part of the game where he’s already completely out of turret range and in 0 threat at all?

    It’s fair to point out that you were right about the Scout part, but the Tarzan play was grief no matter how you look at it lol

    Lol the funny thing about this post is 80-90% of the comments are biased flaming (people that hate IWD , or anti-Faker club, lol)

    There is so little critical-thinking analysis here…

    Did you watch Doms video, the point is not that its not “A bait” like yes we know it’s a bait, they see j4 on the ward, it’s all these micro movement bs. It goes as far as what faker said, that’s what we all thought, the video you linked takes it further. LNG still inted, nothing changed. nothing faker said supported your statement

      Exactly. OP’s post here should be a textbook example of confirmation bias. He sees Faker talk about trying to bait and then he fills in every blank what he wants to believe.

      Nothing about what Faker said supports his statement that LNG didn’t make mistakes. Obviously they did. Especially Tarzan

    I don’t think this confirms you tbh. It is very clear that Ori needs to stay in range if plating gold. But Faker was 100% safe there as long as he doesn’t get turret aggro. So I think it more likely to be a nerve/ tilt play from scout, rather than a mind control spell from your favorite player ;)

    Ngl the title of your original post looked like satire so I didn’t bother reading it. And Tarzan’s play was a fuck up, idk how you can say he did not make a mistake lol. You’re the kind of ass-kissing T1 fan that makes everyone hate us

    I mean this is how pro players tend to play. A lot of “hook predictions” aren’t based on movement or split second decisions, but rather studying constant game film, looking at how a certain player does things like trade in lane or farm under tower

    Tbf Dom does admit at 5:15 in that video that Faker mind gamed Scout. It was more the second play from Tarzan that was just a pure int.

      Everything Faker or T1 does is overhyped to Dom
