November 4, 2024 Esports iGaming & Gambling

Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok displayed why he is the undisputed GOAT (Greatest of All Time) in League of Legends after steering T1 to its 5th League of Legends World Championship title at the O2 Arena in London.

On November 2, 2024, South Korea’s T1 defeated League of Legends Pro League (LPL) team Bilibili Gaming in an odds-stacked, 3-2 win, overcoming a 1-2 deficit to claim back-to-back trophies. T1 won the trophy last year at home in Gocheok Sky Dome, through a dominant 4-0 win against Weibo Gaming.

The deciding Game 5 was a neutral affair for the first 30 minutes of play. But on the 31st minute mark, T1 averted disaster.

Both Faker and Mun “Oner” Hyeon-jun led T1’s counter off a BLG gank on the top lane and taking down four players in the process.

It was also Faker who made the game-changing play in Game 4, reading a BLG-initiated flank to keep their opponents undermanned in the crucial stages.

Faker won the Finals MVP accolade in the five-game affair.
