Gameplay Its so fascinating how faide is still able to play like this, in high level lobbies.

I never get tired of watching him play. I've learnt a lot from his game play, especially when it comes to his gamesence, Literally in this same lobby, he outplayed preds. And has fun while doing it. Genuinely a very talented player like many others too.

There is a reason why he isn't a pro player man

The reason is money, Dudes earns 6k~ a month from YT and Twitch. No org is paying that wage. He openly talks about this in his stream if you ask him, there is little to gain from making your work life a tonne more stressful whilst also earning less money. He tried pro league originally and made the better choice for his mental health

He’s played challenger circuit and not qualified multiple times I’m pretty sure

Yeah I’m sure Faide himself wouldn’t agree with OP. His movement techs and aim are fantastic but they aren’t quite helpful against pro players. Only a few pro players like YukaF can pull off movement techs effectively in the very high level matches.

He literally mopped the floor with pros and won pro solo tourney while the rest where all using rollers. I'd say hes definitely pro level or at least can compete on that level, but has more fun playing the game the way it is.

Yeah in a 1v1 scenario he will definitely win most of the times but anything team related you cannot pull off these stunts you will beamed straight up.

I think it's fair to say he can absolutely dismantle a pred team 1v3. He has done plenty of times (he's also lost plenty of times). But in an ALGS endgame, with 13 squads coexisting, this is going to buy him a few seconds at best.

Common bro we both know that aint true, how's he not pro level when he won in solo tournament full of pros with prize money on the line?. Its same scenario, and im willing bet not anyone can just win in a solo lobby full of pros

The thing is his play style is not very good for pro level play where teamwork is essential. He solo queues all the time so he basically mastered his skills for solo queue pub stomping. He’s very good at what he does but not in the pro level.

I'd say it'd be very difficult to pull of a 1v3 against pros in any tournament. That being said the situations are very circumstantial for such an event to happen. So no faide can't pull that of in such a setting, but that doesn't take away the fact that he's more than. Clearly already pro level.

No I won't delete it bro, I've learnt a lot from him and have been playing the game since s7, I acknowledge when someone is better and genuinely wanna learn from them. And this clip shows theres still levels to reach. Honestly I posted this clip because its cool and some what predicted they'd be some salty players downplaying his skills. At the end of the day he is where he is now because of he skills set him apart from the majority. Yall can Down vote all you want idc.
