Lee ‘Faker’ Sang-hyeok is the greatest League of Legends player of all time and has the trophies to prove it. Here are all the accolades he has accumulated in his lengthy career.
Faker started his career in 2013 with T1, then called SK Telecom T1, on the organization’s B-team. Since then, the South Korean player has cemented himself as the greatest player to have ever graced the Summoner’s Rift.
The 27-year-old player has multiple World Championship titles, multiple Korean league titles and other individual accolades to his name. T1 wanted to keep the mid laner on their squad so badly when his last contract was up, that they made him a part-owner of the company.
Faker has maintained his form throughout his decade-long career, with some dips at times, across multiple rosters and metas. However, with him winning Worlds 2023, he’s clearly got a lot he wants to accomplish as a pro player still.
