Faker and T1 emerged victorious in the World Championship 2023 finals, securing their fourth Worlds triumph.
T1 clinched a 3-0 victory over Weibo Gaming in the League of Legends 2023 World Final, sweeping through three consecutive games. The South Korean powerhouse, led by superstar veteran Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok, hoisted the trophy after overcoming China's Weibo Gaming on the early morning of Sunday, Nov. 19.
T1 entered the competition with great momentum, securing two convincing victories swiftly. By the third game, numerous social media users had already declared T1 as the undisputed champion.
Nevertheless, Faker chose to give fans a masterclass on Akali, showcasing the skills of the ninja assassin. Despite being the oldest player ever to win Worlds, he demonstrated that he was still the "Unkillable Demon King," as Korean fans affectionately call him.
With T1 securing the win, the Gocheok Sky Dome stadium in Seoul erupted, as the sold-out crowd of over 18,000 celebrated the historic achievement: T1 had clinched their fourth world championship. This accomplishment solidified them as the sole organization to achieve four Worlds victories, with Faker standing as the only player to accomplish the same feat.
T1 finds solace in this victory, especially considering their defeat in the finals last year at the hands of fellow Korean team DRX. There were concerns among observers that it might have been Faker's final opportunity to clinch another Worlds victory.
In the current year, Faker and T1 achieved victory on their home turf in Korea—a significant accomplishment for the team.
In 2024, the World Championship Finals are set to take place in London, England. Numerous fans are eager for another opportunity to witness Faker and T1 in action. Nevertheless, given their seemingly insurmountable record and a multitude of accolades unparalleled in the game, there is speculation about whether this could have been the veteran's final Worlds run.
