Faker Awaits a Series of “Incredible Records”
At the 2025 World Championship, T1 will have a somewhat tougher journey, as they must play a BO5 against IG to secure a spot in the Main Event of the tournament. However, their opponent, IG, is also relatively inconsistent, so for many, including fans and experts, T1 is still rated higher. Especially, Faker may be motivated by a series of milestones waiting for him to break.
Faker is the oldest player participating in the 2025 World Championship.
Firstly, after qualifying for the 2025 World Championship with a victory over DK, along with Impact and Evi not attending this year’s tournament, Faker officially becomes the oldest player to compete at a World Championship. If T1 reaches the Quarterfinals or beyond, Faker will be the oldest player in League of Legends history to compete in these rounds of a World Championship. Last year, Impact’s TL had to bow out after the group stage.
In addition, Faker has the opportunity to become the oldest player in League of Legends history to win a World Championship, and the oldest player to win the World Championship three times in a row. It can be said that no one can match Faker’s championship titles, and these records may only be claimed by him. Although technology and science have progressed, it may still be very challenging to find a player who can win the World Championship at the ages of 29 or 30 like Faker.
A series of “incredible” records waiting for Faker.
One final milestone, which is harder but not entirely impossible, is that Faker could achieve FMVP if T1 manages to win the 2025 World Championship. If this happens, Faker would also be the oldest FMVP in both the history of the World Championship and League of Legends.
Of course, it won’t be easy for Faker
Although in 2025, T1 is not too weak, if anything, they are significantly better than their 2024 performance. However, T1 still maintains a dangerous inconsistency, and no one knows what face they will show. Therefore, if Faker wants to break records, both he and his teammates must put in their utmost effort, as well as save a season that risks ending empty-handed across all fronts for T1.
