On the day Faker officially debuted in League of Legends, another player also got some “credit”
In the history of League of Legends, it’s hard to find a player who can match Faker in terms of achievements and the greatness, influence he has left in the world of League of Legends and Esports as a whole. Just considering his achievements and counting the number of World Championship titles, Faker’s six championships stand as an unbreakable fortress. And April 6, 2013, marks Faker’s debut match, officially putting his name on the map of League of Legends.
But on the day that marked this historic event in the League of Legends community, not only Faker but also Ambition became one of the most mentioned names. Simply put: Faker’s first career kill was on none other than the former star of Samsung Galaxy. Even to this day, Ambition often recalls this moment with pride.
At that time, when League of Legends had not yet clearly defined positions and Ambition was the best midlaner in the LCK, his moment of “underestimating” the young opponent on the other side and upgrading Kha’Zix right in front of Faker became a historic moment. In just a split second, Faker took down Ambition – marking Faker’s first solo kill and later regarded as the moment the title of “Best Midlaner in the LCK” was transferred.
Ambition himself, in a video celebrating Faker’s 10-year career, later admitted: “People won’t remember who was killed by Faker for his 500th or 1000th kill, but they will always remember I was the first to be killed by Faker. Thank you, Faker!“.
And Faker is still continuing to write his great career
In last season, Faker signed a contract extending to 2029, officially establishing him as the longest-playing player in League of Legends history and the only player to have played for just one team throughout his career. And perhaps, Faker’s greatness will continue in the future, as he is still showing good form in this season.
