Faker and T1 just won the world championship more than a week ago after a 3-2 victory over Bilibili Gaming. This is the 5th title of T1, and the team also successfully defended the title last year at home in Korea. With Faker, this player also goes into history with 5 world championships, and also honored as the best player in the final.
Even Faker is ready to share himself ready to continue playing professionally. In the interview before the match, T1 captain shared: “Even if I won this year, this is still not the last year. I will continue to try.”
With the ability to be exempted from South Korea's compulsory military service, Faker will be able to continue playing for many more years, especially when this player still shows the desire to continue playing professional League of Legends.
Besides Faker, the friend and former teammate of this mid lane at the old SKT, Bang, also announced his willingness to return to the competition. Currently, the state has been performing South Korea's military service since 2023 and is expected to be completed in 2025. So if you return to the competition, the state will turn 30 in 2026.
Bang is also considered a legend of T1. This player comes from SKT T1 S and on the main squad of SKT T1 in 2015. In 4 years of attachment, Bang won two world championships (2015, 2016) and 2 MSI titles (2016, 2017). After leaving SKT, the state played for teams like 100 Thievves, Evil Geniuses and Afreeca Freecs before retiring in 2021.
