Following Faker’s career, you begin to believe that miracles in esports are not flashes of luck, but the result of talent, character, and an iron will. Every time he takes the stage, it’s like meeting an old friend who will remind you why you once fell in love with League of Legends. And here it is – 200 international victories. Not just a number, but a milestone that a man who has become more than a player has been working towards.
Faker Reaches New Peak: 200 International Wins for League of Legends Legend
Riot Games shared a big news story: T1’s all-time star Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok has reached a staggering 200 wins on the international stage of League of Legends. The momentous milestone was announced via the X platform, highlighting the greatness of Faker’s esports journey.
To celebrate this successful achievement, Riot added a goat emoji to the post — the GOAT, or “Greatest Of All Time” — which in esports parlance means that Faker is rightfully considered the greatest of all time. Since his triumphant arrival on the scene in 2014, he has become an icon, and in 2024, he rewrote history by winning his fifth world title. Moreover, he became the first player to win the championship two years in a row, demonstrating consistency, composure, and the highest level of play.
But his impact on esports is not only about titles. Faker holds the records for most kills and most matches played at Worlds, and his playstyle has become a benchmark for an entire generation of players. His achievements are recognized outside the gaming community, too – at The Game Awards 2024, he was named the best esports player of the year for the second year in a row.
T1 is currently competing in the Mid-Season Invitational 2025, and in the upper bracket semi-finals, the team made a powerful run at Bilibili Gaming, winning 3-0. Ahead of them is a tense battle with Gen.G, and fans are already holding their breath in anticipation of the great showdown. Meanwhile, in South Korea, an unexpected but pleasant bonus has appeared – instant noodles with the image of Faker can be found on store shelves. It might seem like a small thing, but such a gesture emphasizes his status not only as a player, but also as a true cultural legend.
Follow the updates on the official Riot Games resources so as not to miss the next action in the history of Faker – the man who is rewriting the annals of esports right before our eyes.
