This legendary lineup features Bengi in the jungle, Faker at mid, Peanut (later replaced by Impact for some periods, but specifically S5 was Bang/Impact/Duke context - wait, let's stick to the core S5 roster facts). The Season 5 World Championship roster consisted of Impact on top lane, Bengi in the jungle, Faker in the mid lane, Bang at bot lane, and PoohManDu as support. Their synergy was defined by a unique ability to adapt their playstyle mid-game, often switching between aggressive early pressure and patient late-game scaling depending on the opponent. They utilized the map control of Bengi and Impact to create space for Faker's roaming potential and Bang's hyper-carry damage. Together, they dominated the 2015 LCK Spring and Summer splits before heading to international play. Their performance at Worlds 2015 was particularly notable as they defeated KOO Tigers in a dominant fashion, showcasing a level of coordination that left few openings for their opponents.
