Faker reaches 800 games in the LCK

There is no doubt that the name Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok is synonymous with League of Legends. All players, professional, casual, and even those not very attached to the game know who Faker is.

Well, for those who don’t know who he is, we’ll tell you: Faker is one of the legends of League of Legends in its entire history.

The 26-year-old South Korean never tires of breaking record after record, and while what he just did is simply a record-breaking feat of his own, there is no doubt that this player will be in the history books of the League of Legends competitive scene forever.

Faker reaches 800 matches in the LCK

Faker becomes an even bigger figure in the professional League of Legends scene each year. And we are not only talking about the LCK but in general. Everyone knows perfectly well who this magnificent player is.

Now in his tenth year as a pro in LoL, Faker, in addition to breaking the assists record in the LCK, has reached the milestone of 800 games played in the Korean league. This was in T1’s 2-1 win over Livv SANDBOX, and the Korean took it upon himself to write a new page in his history in esports and the LCK.

Faker is considered the GOAT of League of Legends, and there is no doubt that the entire esports scene will never forget this player. While many may think that his career as a professional is coming to an end, the vast majority of us hope that this does not happen, as it is tough to see another Faker in this Esports shortly.

The feat of surpassing the barrier of 800 games played in the LCK is something that, without a doubt, very few players will be able to achieve. His closest pursuer on this list is Kim “Deft” Hyuk-kyu, Dplus Kia’s Bot Lane, with 674 games played.

There is no other player who can come close to this figure soon

As mentioned, his closest pursuer on this list is Deft, with 674 games. Although they started their pro careers in LoL relatively the same, he played two seasons in the LPL, which helped Faker open up the gap.

Following Deft is Park “Ruler” Jae-hyuk, JD Gaming’s Bot Lane, with 596 points. Although Ruler is a bit younger than Faker and Deft, he is playing in the LPL this season, so the match counter will be paused until he returns to the LCK.

For the moment, Faker and T1 are still in 1st place in the overall standings of the LCK Spring Split 2022 with a balance of 9 wins and one loss, as they recently beat Gen.G in the second leg, one of their main rivals in this tournament.
