Faker becomes first player to reach 100 MSI wins

Faker becomes first player to reach 100 MSI wins

The League of Legends legend adds another record to a career that's running out of milestones to chase

Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok just did what no other professional League of Legends player has ever done: win 100 games at the Mid-Season Invitational. The milestone landed in Game 2 of T1’s series against Team Liquid, adding yet another line to a resume that already reads like a Wikipedia page for competitive greatness.

For anyone keeping score at home, this is the same player who became the first to notch 100 World Championship wins back in October 2024. By July 6, 2025, he had accumulated 200 total international victories.

The numbers behind the GOAT conversation

Faker has been competing at the highest level since 2013, and he’s still the starting mid-laner for T1.

T1, formerly known as SK Telecom T1, captured MSI titles in both 2016 and 2017 with Faker at the helm.

He’s reportedly preparing for his 9th MSI appearance, which would come in 2026. The tournament has only existed since 2015.
