Goat of Esports

In football, Messi and Ronaldo are global icons that everyone recognizes. But in esports, I don't see anyone who comes close to Faker's status. Do you think there's anyone who can represent esports as prominently as Faker?

I agree. But like I said, you have these arguments that show that S1mple is not as dominant as Faker is in lol. In lol, Faker is by far the first, while in CS we can use arguments to say who is number 1.

S1mple is kinda like LeBron, his final record looks bad cuz his team was. I refuse to believe any of his teams outside of Stockholm 2021 came into the playoffs as the favourite to win or even be in the finals

Since Faker's skill is limited to one game, he can’t be the GOAT of esports.

I agree with faker but honestly benjy might be somewhat close if heretics actually won the 2 lans they came 2nd in faker would still be the goat but being really good in 2 separate games would have definitely put him up there

Don't understand benjy bro, he's still 20 and just a year into valo, he's already won fortnite championship ( one. Of them right?) he will win 2 lans in the next 2 years and then switch to cs where again he will win a lan in his rookie year and then transfer to League to beat faker in the world's finals again in his rookie year to be the absolute 🐐🐐🐐. ( Just messing around, Benjyfishy is actually a great player)

just faker. people have the same status as him but only in their esports. faker is a name u recognize without even being big on esports can recognize, nobody outside of their esport would recognize notail/serral/s1mple(arguable)/peterbot

s1mple probably has the status in CIS and Europe overall, but Faker's only big region where people don't really care about him is CIS

I would consider Ana from dota2 to be up there. Bro went om vacation for a whole year and got called up to play in TI and won. He did that 2 times back to back

Faker. However s1mple is kinda like Maradona for CIS was in Argentina pre-Messi. First big star for the region, first wins came with him, took on the international stage. Donk is kinda like Messi for that matter, the continuation of that trend. Albeit maybe Monesy changes that? Basically if donk doesn't keep up his pace from last year, CIS might get the goat

The only person arguably better than faker is flash. flash was literally known as god him self. but I think Faker edges out. I don't think s1mple comes close with only having 1 major win.
