For example, if Faker picked Orianna, then one of the five champions I played today would definitely be Orianna. I would think that any champion Faker played must be very powerful. That's how I was for the first two years."

Perkz also mentioned that Rookie is the toughest player he has faced: "Especially in that match where Rookie played Jayce, I had no idea what to do from start to finish. Clearly, they were well-prepared for it."

Note: In the first game of the S8 semifinals between IG and G2, Rookie's Jayce suppressed Perkz's Aatrox by 30 CS within the first 8 minutes.

Additionally, Perkz also stated that ShowMaker is an underrated player. Often when people talk about the best mid laners, they place ShowMaker behind Faker, Chovy, and others, but Perkz believes ShowMaker is a very well-rounded player. Although Perkz has not faced Chovy in an official match, he still thinks Chovy is "the closest to a perfect player. Even during Faker's peak in 2015 and 2016, his opponents might have been stronger, but the game has evolved rapidly over time. With Faker, you might still have some countermeasures, and sometimes he might not perform well. Chovy, on the other hand, might only have one bad game out of twenty."
