Bjergsen has received the nickname as the NA Faker because of how well he is able to play when it comes to high-pressure situations. Bjergsen rarely loses lane and needs minimum help doing so. He is often one of the most proactive members on his team and knows how to play around other lanes.

Compared to other Mid Laners, he remains number one because of his lane dominance against everyone else. In 2019, this will be Bjergsen’s time to regain his title as North America’s best.
