The Undisputable GOAT
Regardless of what League of Legends team you stand behind, there's one player that every single fan will always root for: Faker. As the heart and soul of the game since the very beginning, Faker is undoubtedly the greatest pro player to ever grace the stage. Here are just five of the coolest facts about him.
1. He's A 5-Time World Champion
No other League of Legends player is even close to having the same amount of accolades. Faker is the only player who is able to say he's a 5-time world champ, winning in 2013, 2015, 2016, 2023, and 2024. If there's one stat that proves his dominance in the game, it's this one.
2. He's Been With The Same Org Since The Beginning
You can't say T1 without Faker, and you can't say Faker without thinking about T1. Together since the very beginning (now 12 years!), many fans praise Faker for being the only player to stay with an organization for as long as he has. If that's not loyalty, we don't know what is.
3. He Never Plays With Skins
Here's a weird Faker quirk that makes him incredibly unique: he never plays with any champion skins! And despite having the most skins to his name out of any player in history, he never uses them in official games. It's to the point that it'd be incredibly weird if he ever did!
4. He's The Oldest Player To Ever Win Worlds
To all the haters who said Faker needed to retire because he was too old to play games, he sure proved them wrong when he won again at 28 years old in 2024. This showed everyone that age has nothing to do with skill in League of Legends.
5. He Has The Longest Career Out Of Any Player
It's incredible to see just how long of a career Faker has had in League of Legends esports. He started way back in 2011, and since then, he's continued to build his legacy with both domestic and international wins, breaking new records, and outlasting every other player so far. And with his contract extended until 2029, he's going to be around for the forseeable future.
