Every game has its superstars.
Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok has been the face of competitive League of Legends the player to beat -- for years.
But it was one of the Unkillable Demon King’s most soul-crushing defeats that inspired a new champion to rise up.
And Heo “ShowMaker” Su didn’t want to just be the next Faker -- he wanted to be a legend in his own right.
After Damwon’s Worlds 2020 victory, all eyes were on ShowMaker and his team.
But could an up-and-coming, young player ever truly hope to overtake the GOAT and claim League’s throne?
And would Faker even be the final boss?
This is the Story of ShowMaker

Showmaker and Chovy being constantly compared to each other since the start of their careers as potential prospects for best midlaner and Faker's heir is also such a cool storyline. With their entire careers going off different tangents and also their different playstyles. Their fans constantly blasting each other is also funny af.

Meh, this felt more like a rather sparse rundown of Damwon's history, rather than the story of Showmaker. Didn't even mention some of his most notable accomplishments like getting an account into KR Challenger playing 91 different champs one game each, or casually role swapping as ADC right in the middle of LCK Summer split. Not to mention big storylines that shaped his entire career, like his rivalry with Chovy or his solo carry struggle at MSI. TBH a pretty lazy video that spams Faker's name for hype.

It's hardly even a story of, more of just a recap and some of the info is pretty wrong. Nuguri and Showmaker was never the power couple, it was ALWAYS Showmaker and Canyon. Idk if anyone felt like DWG was consideribly weaker after Nuguri left when they got Khan instead, iirc most people felt like it was a VERY slight downgrade at best.

I think this would have similar story with the Tekken legend, “Knee” and Arslan. While Faker and Knee knows all round and have been on the stage for longer and gain the “Legend” title. Show maker and Arslan are the one of new generation where they show new play style which is more aggressive.

I think he is the first KR pros that got so beloved in EU SoloQ because of how he whined and grieved in the ladder. People looks so excited when found him in soloQ. Showmaker even told some stories about the legendary one-trick that he found in EU SoloQ And also about comparison with Faker, Kkoma (Faker's mentor) is his current coach so it is unavoidable that he got compared a lot with the legend.

You should do one on SEN Lou for apex legends. His story is one of the best ive heard. Ever since he was young he would play video games as much as he could to where he would play all night and morning then sleep in school. He knew ever since he was young he was going to be pro in gaming. His parents were never for it until the Poland LAN where Lou got 17th place i believe. Lou wanted to quit competing but his dad pushed him to keep going. Later down the line Lou won his first regional in october of 2020. His dad wanted to come over ASAP to celebrate. On the way to visit Lou, he passed in a car accident. Today Lou uses his father as motivation and is now a Top 3 team in apex legends for sure.
