How are people convinced TenZ popularity is similar to Faker's popularity?
True TenZ might be the most popular person in Valorant community but faker is the most famous pro in esports scene. I don't even watch LoL and I'm aware of faker and I believe it's not the same for TenZ.

Go to one of the threads on wanting tenz to be dropped. Some users have compared tenz with faker.

comparing the audience league has a way bigger audience so ofc people would know faker more and has played for way longer at a high level. but in valorant the right equivalent would be TenZ in valorant lol

Only people who don't know who Faker is think Tenz is more popular than Faker.

My Grandma is a TenZ fan and she's never played or seen a video game in her life

Faker isnt even the most popular LoL player, Doublelift clears him

its not even similar though, Faker is the GOAT of his game, TenZ by far isn't. Other leagues like the LEC and whatnot glaze Faker for his success when given the opportunity like he's Jesus Christ, whereas in Valorant he's more like a meme outside of NA. He rubs off as more as the TheShy of Valorant ngl.

they're similar because they both have transcended the game in popularity, career wise they are absolutely nothing alike, faker is literally a deity in the e-sports world

has TenZ transcended the game in popularity though? that really feels like an exaggeration and I don't exactly know what you mean by that. Are you talking about like how ppl think of Valorant they think of him?

#18

exactly

#20

but can you really call something like that as a means to compare him to Faker though? A lot of ppl also think about other pros when it comes to LoL first like Uzi, Ruler, Caps, Rekkles, Doublelift, Bjergsen, etc depending on thier region. Faker is most likely the first to come to mind though overall but I have a really hard time in believing that Valorant players in countries like Brazil or Korea would think of TenZ as the first thing that comes to mind when talking about Valorant over other things.

you're talking about their reputation and standing in their communities, i'm talking outside of them, to random dudes if you ask them have you heard of any valorant/league players there's a very very high chance they will answer with tenz and faker

also i agree, when asked about a league player forg1ven always comes to mind first because your country and local community matters when you're kinda involved in those scenes

their popularity is similar if you acknowledge valorant isnt even a 10th of league popularity wise lmfao

im not talking about the scale though, like I said before he rubs off as a meme to alot of ppl whereas Faker isnt like that at all. When you think of TenZ, you don't think of him as the GOAT of his game like how Faker is viewed.

tenz has the best lan performance to date and hes a meme? didnt meet expectations but hes still one of the greats already lol, if you consider demon1 great tenz is one too

you're lying to yourself right now, TenZ has very much been a meme for the past two years and its why he's been receiving so much hate as of late and I realllllly don't think he's done enough to be considered the GOAT of Val, at least by people who actually watch the scene.

Come on, e-sports in Korea and china have a completely different standpoint than in the West due to the lack of achievement in real sports

Actually the lack of achievements in sports has nothing to do with why esports went crazy in korea and asia. During the the 1990s and early 2000s was the huge wave of technology advancement in korea which included computers/cars/phones/roads/electricity and etc. Koreans took up computers and jobs instead of a ball or sports. If it went the other way korea would not be as developed but would be better at sports easily. Either way I see asians having success in olympics all the time so I wouldnt be too sure of that statement. Korea and japan better than a lot of countries at baseball. Korea owns archery, china owns weightlifting. The arguably p4p boxer itw is japanese too lol. I mean I can keep going but you get the point

Come on, no one cares about archery or weightlifting
We're talking about sports with a world audience like football, basketball, boxing

yes Naoya Inoue and manny pacquiao are both worldclass boxer but the problem is nether japan and the philippine have this Esport cuture like korea and china

Both countries have successes in real sport and almost zero presence in esports

just coincidence ?

korea:

11 world cup appearances 7th all time placed 4th

3rd best baseball country in the world

who the fuck plays football outside of the US

boxing is literally local to the americas for the most part exactly like archery is in asia

just say youre fucking ignorant. dont discredit those sports just so you can pick and choose what you want. theyre all part of the olympics for gods sake

I was gonna write something along the lines of him not considering any of those sports real sports unlike the actual real sports (i.e. the ones that are popular in his country), but he did it for me.
