There are plenty of esports that have legitimate debates about who the best player in a game is. League of Legends is not one of those esports, and Faker proved once again today why he deserves that title.
Everything Faker Did at EWC 2024 | Finals MVP 🏆 Highlights
T1’s victory over G2 today didn’t just send the legendary team to the 2024 World Championship Knockout stage in Paris, France. The win also marked a first for a player in League history: Faker’s 100th World Championship tournament win. And he did it in style against the EU giants, first leading T1 in kills and closing out game one with a triple kill before throwing it back at Ahri in a back-and-forth game two, where he teamed with Zeus for eight kills apiece. T1 rode their performance and an absolutely monstrous Baron steal from Oner to a 2-0 sweep over Caps and co.

It’s been a tumultuous season for T1, but after losing their first match on the Swiss stage to Top Esports, the team seems to have settled in. They took wins over the likes of paiN and BLG before delivering a devastating blow to G2, who now have just one chance to qualify for the quarterfinals.
