In a recent live stream, top‑lane player Doran was pulled into a review session by his teammate Faker, where the two candidly discussed a critical in‑game error and their respective mindsets going forward.
🎮 Reviewing the High‑Ground Error
Doran addressed the moment when he attempted a high‑ground play with the champion Camille and made a significant mistake. He said:
“Although that was a very serious mistake, and shouldn’t have happened, I don’t believe it’s an action that you absolutely can’t try again. Next time, if I can create a good angle, then I’ll try again. That’s how I think. If another good opportunity arises, I probably will do it again. I think that’s important.”
His remarks reveal a dual‑track mindset: acknowledging the error, but also retaining the willingness to try again under better conditions rather than simply ruling out the attempt forever.
🧠 Question about Early Defensive Ability Use
During the review, Doran asked Faker: “Why did you use your defensive ability (Golden Immune / ‘Zhonya‑style’) so early?”
Faker responded succinctly:
“To stop BDD from phasing away.”
He then added:
“I can only say ‘awesome’. Here, it isn’t that I’m nervous or because it’s my first final — it’s just that I played badly in LoL.”
This segment shows Faker’s tactical awareness (anticipating a key opponent’s escape) and his modest, self‑reflective posture despite his status.
✅ Significance & Team Dynamics
- The fact that Faker personally invited Doran into the review highlights the team’s culture of collaboration and mutual accountability.
- Doran’s attitude shows maturity: he doesn’t bury a misplay under blame but uses it as a moment of growth and readiness for future opportunities.
- The exchange illustrates how top‑level squads don’t just focus on execution in the match, but also on post‑game reflection — especially at critical moments like high‑ground assaults or defensive‑ability timing.
🔍 What to Keep an Eye On
- Watch whether Doran attempts a similar high‑ground angle in future matches, as he indicated he would if conditions align.
- See how Faker’s early defensive use influences team tactics — particularly whether opponents begin to anticipate it.
