No one is going to argue when you say Faker is the best League of Legends<\/em> player of all time. But it\u2019s been a while since the Demon King won a World Championship. Nearly seven years have passed since Faker last won Worlds, and in that time, the landscape of League<\/em> esports has changed extensively. New faces have emerged across the globe; players who were once rising stars are now seasoned vets, and all the while, the GOAT has waited in the wings for another chance to win it all.<\/p>
With five editions of Worlds having passed since Faker lost his first World Finals in 2017, the question arises: who is the best pro League<\/em> player of the last five years if not Faker? <\/p>
Every region has brought its own candidates to the forefront of the discussion, and with dozens of players having lifted the Summoner\u2019s Cup since Faker last did so, one of them has got to be the \u201cbest\u201d across that timeframe. And hey, maybe it\u2019s still Faker himself. Regardless, we\u2019re out to answer that question.<\/p>
Heading into what\u2019s arguably the most stacked LoL <\/em>World Championship ever, the debate needs to be settled before another era of pro League <\/em>begins.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>
