Recently, LoLEsports released an interesting statistic: the list of 19 players who have played alongside Faker and won the League of Legends championship – LCK. As we all know, T1 is the team with the largest collection of titles in the world, and they are also known for their frequent roster changes.
For T1, a year without winning the World Championship is considered a failure, no matter how many other championships they achieve. It’s no wonder that in the list below, there are even players who have convincingly won the LCK with Faker, yet ultimately had to part ways due to failures on the international stage.
Those names include:
– Top lane: Canna, Khan, Huni, Duke, Marin, Impact
– Jungle: Cuzz, Clid, Peanut, Blank, Tom, Bengi.
– Bot lane: Teddy, Bang, Piglet.
– Support: Effort, Mata, Wolf, Poohmandu.
Note that these are players that “Faker has played alongside,” so mid lane positions are naturally not mentioned, as when they competed, Faker would have clearly been benched.
Among these names, Duke, Marin, Impact, Bengi, Bang, Piglet, Poohmandu, and Wolf are those who have won all the most glorious titles alongside Faker, and any of them were top stars in their positions at their peak.
However, there are also names that, when remembered, T1 fans will have reasons to regret, because although they achieved some success domestically, they were not lucky enough to win international titles while wearing the SKT jersey, such as Huni and Khan in the top lane, Clid, Peanut, and Blank in jungle positions, or Mata in support.
And of course, we must mention the players currently alongside Faker, continuing the path to conquer new heights of glory, which includes the roster of Canna, Cuzz, Teddy, and Effort.
Reflecting on their “predecessors,” these four young stars of T1 may not yet compare in terms of achievements and fame, but their talent is undoubtedly unquestionable. Canna had a remarkably successful debut season, Cuzz, although “born later,” has become a veteran jungler in the LCK, while the duo Teddy and Effort increasingly prove their prowess as one of the top ADC-Support pairs in the world.
Over the years, from being the pampered youngest member in the lineup of Impact, Bengi, Piglet, and Poohmandu, Faker has now become the eldest brother of T1, shouldering the responsibilities of a captain.
After countless ups and downs, numerous glories, and not a few failures, the fans of the former SKT and the current T1 have witnessed many tearful farewells, yet only Faker – their greatest legend remains there, dedicated and loyal to the name he has been associated with throughout his career.
