Faker has long been recognized as a symbol of League of Legends thanks to his achievements and contributions. However, few fans really remember the exact time of the Demon King in the subject. Let's look back and evaluate the achievements throughout the past decade of Faker and the LoL game.
10. 2018
Outstanding achievements: Grade 2 Asian Games, Top 4 LCK Spring, Top 7 LCK Summer, Top 4 Regional qualifiers. It can be said that this was a bad year for Faker when he could not have the first time in any tournament of 2018. However, the above rankings are not too bad achievements in a leading area of LoL like LCK.
9. 2020
Outstanding achievements: Spring LCK champion, Top 5 LCK Summer, 2nd Regional qualifiers. The achievement of this year's Demon King has improved much more than 2018. Although T1 had a good start, the record of the second half of this team made them unable to have a ticket to Worlds.
8. 2021
Outstanding achievements: Regional qualifying championship, Top 4 LCK Spring, 2nd LCK Summer, Top 4 Worlds Worlds. In 2021, it was considered to be a boring journey of the Demon King when he did not achieve too high achievements nor drop to the bottom of despair. Faker's fans and himself must not have many memories of this time because his contributions are not prominent.
7. 2019
Outstanding achievements: Spring and Summer LCK champion, Top 4 MSI and Worlds. T1 had a good comeback journey after 2018 failed but they still could not stand out to the press. For Faker personally, this is another year that he did not hold the No. 1 position in the world. With the fighting style of supporting teammates rather than shining on their own, the Demon King faded over its name.
6. 2014
Outstanding achievements: Champion Winter champion, All-Star Paris champion, Top 3 regional qualifiers. 2014 is a very strange year for Faker, T1 or even LCK's LLC when they constantly sweep the All-Star and then fall down in a disappointing way. Many people now think that Faker is still the best midway in the world, just that they have no chance to see him.
5. 2022
Outstanding achievements: Spring LCK championship, MSI runner -up, 2nd class LCK, Runner -up Worlds. A promising year of T1 also has many talents that have ended in a more unfortunate way. They continuously achieved high achievements but finally not enough to win both MSI and Worlds. Faker personally tried his best on the journey that year, but that was still not enough for him to restore the throne for the home team.
4. 2017
Outstanding achievements: Spring LCK Championship, MSI Champion, 2nd LCK Summer, Runner -up Worlds. 2017 is a memorable year for both T1 and Faker when they are constantly leading League of Legends in both the LCK and the World. Although their achievements were very good, fans only remembered the Worlds's finale that year when the Demon King had to fall in love to pay for their defeat. Many people thought that 2017 was the end of the legendary Faker temple for the runner -up of Worlds.
3. 2013
Outstanding achievements: Top 3 Champions Spring, Summer Champions Champion, Regional qualifying championship, World Championship. At that time, Maknoon called Faker “Lionel Messi of League of Legends”. Even if the young talent does not win the summer of the summer of 2013, Worlds Season 3, and has the greatest performance in the game history, it will still be considered as the best year of launch of all time. In fact, Faker has completed all that and even more.
2. 2016
Outstanding achievements: The champion of both MSI and Worlds, winning the 2016 IEM Season X – World Championship is almost a perfect year. Two domestic finals, one in the spring and three international victories. Faker continues to maintain his performance in both domestic and international arenas.
1. 2015
Outstanding achievements: runner -up MSI, World Championship and double LCK title. The achievement of Faker of 2015 is really different from the remaining years. The performance, play and dominance of the Demon King was shown throughout 2015 when he lost only one important match against EDG – it was also an iconic defeat in his career.
