To achieve pro-level in first place, you must already master most of the game. This leaves the difference between pro-players being one or two specific things.

Faker in particular, what he meant in that phrase, in the game translates to: "I can see the future".
I used to play Dota (before LoL existed) with a guy with that particular hability, it was utterly annoying, the only way to win against him was to use all your other skills perfectly, because he was always several steps ahead of you and if you made a mistake, he would use it against you.
Example of a game against such players: he notices you are not on his minimap (MOBAs usually use standard RTS minimap), then he thinks a bit, and deduces where you went, suppose you are retreating after getting too damaged after a mistake, then he deduces that you are doing that, deduces where you will be, and deduces that he can get there before you, then he goes there, wait for you to pass while retreating, and kills you, then he helps his teammates that were fighting you to advance their position.
Compare that to a master player that DON'T do that: suppose the guy main skill is to always win 1vs1 fights. You are gone from the map.. the guy DOES notice, but he does not know where you went, so he waits until you return, he might still figure a way to draw you out and win a fight, but probably won't help his team much.
Yes, there are players that are really good at killing enemies, and rack very high individual scores, but that don't make their team win.
