In his traditional humility, the
T1 midlaner admitted after
his team's first match won against FlyQuest on Wednesday that he wasn't even aware he was going to participate in his tenth competition. "
Honestly, I wasn't aware that it was my tenth Worlds, he said on the official broadcast. "
But after a lot of people told me, I realized, "Wow, I've been around for a long time." I am truly grateful to have so many fans who still support me and celebrate my records and milestones with me."
During all his other years of participation, Faker established his name at the top of the rankings in all categories. In addition to being the player with the most appearances and titles, he also has the most games, wins, kills, and assists. By defeating IG in the play-in match, Faker secured his 110th victory at Worlds, which is more than the number of matches played by the second player at Worlds, Li "
Xiaohu" Yuanhao, with 109 matches. He also has nine champion skins in the game, six of which he obtained after winning world championships,
which is more than a good portion of the game's characters.Even after so many years of achievement, Faker remains a competitor and will attempt to add a new title to his record this year. T1 announced a few months ago that
they had extended the player's contract until 2029. Currently, the team is 1-1 in the competition after
losing their second match against CTBC Flying Oyster. The team will face Gen.G in a rematch of the last LCK final tomorrow.
