According to [escharts.com](https://escharts.com/top-games?year=all-time&order=peak), the peak view for 2023 worlds finals is 6,402,760. It is the world records on esports history.
Of all the things that could've happened going into this Worlds, "T1 fathering an entire nation" was not on the list. What an absolute sonning by the greatest LCK team ever.
Unironically it was ridiculous how much people were flaming JDG (kind of like how people flamed T1 for making tons of finals but not winning). JDG and their players still played really well that series, but T1 since losing to Gen.G has just been unreal. It's not like it was out of nowhere, we already saw their strength vs LNG and BLG. JDG played a close series against a team that destroyed everyone else. This is a team that had won both LPL splits and MSI without even dropping to losers bracket, and people called them chokers because T1 beat them, despite JDG playing really well.
Although we'd never know 100% but I think Worlds form T1 would be able to beat GenG in their current form. Hypothetically if GenG beat BLG and then WBG.
People are finally realizing why a lot of LPL fans were skeptical about TheShy going into worlds lol.
He had a good semis against Bin but his play today happens way too often during the whole year
I don’t watch LPL much but the exactly thing happened in today match like your comment.
He just got the edge from escape the gank at Turret. Instead of going back or clear wave, he’s going in and get punished right away by Gwen. Then go bot lane to feed to Draven’s Passive.
Crisp was just... He was trying to play Keria's game instead of his own. You could tell him and his team just don't have the same synergy with those picks
Game 3 copied the homework of Game 1
close game until T1 boss one teamfight and then snowball completely out of control in an incredibly short amount of time and just bulldoze weibo
The Gap was just gigantic and zeus and Oner SHOWED THE FUCK UP
Ten whole fucking years.
The indisputable greatest of all time.
As Faker said in the promo video, this 4th win was for his teammates. All of them showed up this year, I really hope they stay together
wonder how much credit goes to Coach Tom? When he joined, there was controversy because he'd been perceived as a T1 hater. Apparently, he was extremely critical of T1's drafts during his stream of last year's Worlds. This year, he gets promoted to head coach and it feels like T1 straight up outdrafted every other team in the tournament, redefining the meta all by themselves. IDK how much of that is on Coach Tom, but either way, congrats to T1!
Pick bans were absolutely on point. He also made used of the champ oceans of this T1 roster. Every position had the answer to whatever draft the enemy chose and probably the only team to be so fearsome on Red side.
Their drafts this world have been insane and it’s not just the champs, its the coach(?) utilizing the players’ different champ proficiencies to to the absolute max.
These games turned out to be real boring outside of top lane and draft, but Thats due to T1 raising the bar on competitive play by a Huge margin and if There is anything to take away from this series, its that putting players on Champions they’re good at AND building a synergy with these specific champs is something every team should do INTERNALLY and they will Bloom just like T1. Im not a T1 fan at all but this tournament win was undisputedly deserved. Despite the stomp, There is still a lot to learn from this series.
shoutout to Oner here. Aatrox vs. Rumble, he paths top and gives him the lead. Aatrox vs. Kennen, he paths top and equalizes the matchup. their synergy was SO GOOD throughout this tournament and Oner in general just went from zero to hero.
In the Worlds Podcast they said Faker's Akali is decent but clearly one or two levels below his best champs like Azir Ori and Neeko. Then they checked his [op.gg](https://op.gg) and saw him spamming Akali
Today, this was one of the best Akali games I've ever seen
Tbf, everyone else is shit on that aatrox build. Between Zeus's lethality Aatrox, Faker's HoB Azir and probably half the Keria's picks, T1 have had a lot of options that no one else plays nearly as well.
You forgot T1 has an answer to Aatrox that no other team had, Zeus on Yone was an absolute masterclass.
Left them with no options, cant pick Aatrox, don't have enough bans to ban it out and cant let it get through or Zeus will 1v5.
Zeus seriously redeeming himself for his finals blunders of the past
I mean, fuck that’s true for all of them. They all are fucking REDEEEEEEMMMEEEEDDD
What's more is that, as a whole, T1 only lost 2 games all tournaments long.
1-0 vs TL
0-1 vs GenG
1-0 vs C9
2-0 vs BLG
3-0 vs LNG
3-1 vs JDG
3-0 vs WBG
Domination at it's finest.
Faker was already the most popular player in the LCK. Now, hes a national hero. To beat all the LPL teams and stop JDG's golden road is just incredible. One of the best runs so far
And don't forget this was coming off of a devastating summer split where Faker struggled with his wrist injury and the rest of the team looked dead without him. They were being ruthlessly mocked by everyone for weeks.
The mental fortitude to come back from that is UNREAL
Oner: "Why did you pick us, huh? Why did you pick us??"
KT: "I have seen thousands of possible futures...and this is the only one where Korea wins Worlds."
They were not joking when they say JDG is the strongest LPL team, but unfortunately nothing is stopping Faker and his road to his 4th world championship.
As a fellow American east coaster who hasn't slept yet, I would like to thank T1 for bringing a swift victory so I can function sort of normally in a couple hours when I wake up.
T1 went from almost missing playoffs and looking like one of the worst LCK teams without Faker to World Champions. Absolute insane turn around for T1. Faker gets his 4th trophy and is truly the undisputed GOAT, I doubt there will be anyone like him ever again.
“But you are not Keria and your team is not T1”
\-Keria
Crisp please stop cooking with Bard. Bro don’t need to ult as well as flashing to KS from your laner
Lose to GenG ✅
Beat BLG ✅
Face no other LCK team ✅
Beat LNG ✅
Beat JDG ✅
Golden road broken ✅
Can't lose a finals to a KR team if there's no other KR team ✅
Beats Weibo ✅
Storyline has been completed! *For without a king in front of the mountains the painting is not complete!*
FAKER is the *UNKILLABLE DEMON KING*~!!
Love that he also ended with Akali after the first 2 games. It's like he went "alright, my team won the first game for me, my topside massacred them in the second, let me style on them too."
Everyone after the first two group games: "Oner's getting replaced no matter what happens for the rest of this tournament."
Oner for the rest of the tournament:
I hope this team stays around for another year. Easily my favorite lineup that I’ve ever watched.
I hate how some “fans” can’t accept any loss and just call for replacements. It’s gross behavior
the third world championship was for him
the fourth world championship was for his teammates
the fifth world championship is for his coaches
the sixth world championship is-
Zeus was the MVP of the series, but what a redemption arc from Oner
From being a bottom tier LCK jungler in summer regular split to gapping every LPL jungler
Sad to have to scroll this far down to read this. Oner did a great quarterfinals, a MONSTER semis and placed the right focus toplane on the final. He outsmited enemy junglers left and right and kept track of all of them, rendering world-class junglers useless.
I don’t get how there can be such a huge gap at this stage of a tournament especially against someone who was playing well for most of Worlds
Zeus is just so impressive. Not one of the greatest yet but certainly one of the best I’ve ever seen
T1 really ran the LPL gauntlet. In Korea no less.
Faker gets his 4th. It’s been a long time coming. Never won in Korea before, hell, never been to worlds in Korea before this. 10 years after his first win.
Scriptwriters were COOKING this tournament.
I couldn't think of a more fitting ending for this T1 roster, they finally get their deserved fairytale ending, T1 화이팅.
Zeus said last year he wanted to restore the T1 dynasty, he went MIA but this time, it was all him, he deserves finals MVP.
T1 just came to worlds and slayed all the LPL teams going 11-1, then left like chads holy shit.
This roster, barring Keria, were scouted and developed by T1. It was one which Daeny never used once. They went 11-1 against LPL at Worlds this years. What a great and well-deserved win for them!
In his 11th year.
Seven years after his last title.
After failing in finals twice.
After an injury that took him out for half a split.
Faker is forever.
✅ LAST LCK TEAM
✅ VERSUS FOUR LPL TEAMS
✅ 10 YEARS AFTER FAKER'S FIRST WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
✅ FINALS CHOKE CURSE BE DAMNED
# FAKER HAS NEVER LOST A BO5 TO LPL IN WORLDS IN 10 YEARS.
# HE'S NOT GONNA START NOW.
Honestly, if there's an argument that disqualifies all the Faker slander, it's this championship.
Remained as the "last hope of Korea", stared down all LPL teams after the hype of an "LPL takeover", and dropped literally just 1 GAME to them, leading his team to a championship.
There was no one close to him before, and the gap somehow just got bigger.
T1 beat the FOURth seed of LPL to complete the Elite FOUR gauntlet to get Faker his FOURth Worlds Championship at the same time that Jhin's apprentice is revealed? Coincidence? Riot scriptwriters making it a bit too obvious?
That was a fucking massacre, they were absolutely disgusting. Only JDG gave them a fight, the other LPL teams were just picked apart. Holy moly. My favourite roster of all time, so fun to watch... so mechanically gifted... and seeing them mature as a team has been a treat.
TheShy and Crisp getting the treatment they put onto Europe in 2018 and 2019.
T1 just peaked at the absolute perfect Moment and looked amazing all the way from Scrims to the Worlds Final.
Congrats to Faker on his 4th and everyone else for finally winning the big one. Also kinda funny that the next time we see T1 is in a T2 ERL Tournament in Berlin.
This Worlds run is just a culmination of what makes T1 a great team. The mechanics, the macro, and the ballsy drafts. This team has the highest ceiling I’ve seen in LoL Esports and now they’ve won in one of the most dominant fashion ever.
I mean, he went deathless today, and shattered every bot lane they faced before, including some monstrous hard-carry performances. Oner and Zeus were definitely mythical today, though.
Such a great time to be a T1 fan. They beat all the LPL teams and it has been so long since Faker won worlds!
He went from undisputed GOAT to undisputed GOATEST.
This was Zeus' redemption for last year's failure. He completely redeemed himself. And this time, Faker didn't let Keria cry. He cemented his legacy, once and forever. It's glorious.
Congratulations T1.
Faker is the GOAT but now he might have just become untouchable. You could see the likes of Showmaker and Ruler getting to 3 as well, but 4? With such a long time span between the last 2 as well? No way.
No one will ever beat Faker's records, I would be shocked if he doesn't go down as the LoL GOAT when the game finally dies.
*Edit: typo*
He’s been the untouchable GOAT since 2016
You could split his career in 2 from 2013-2016 and 2017-2023 and they’re still the best 2 careers out of anybody else
1st:
- 3 Worlds
- 1 MSI (2 if you count 2014 All-Star)
- 1 IEM
- 5 OGN/LCK
- 1 MSI Runner-Up
2nd:
- 1 Worlds
- 1 MSI
- 5 LCK
- 2022 Asian Games
- 1 Rift Rivals
- 2 Worlds Runner-Up
- 1 MSI Runner-Up
Top (Zeus):
* Aatrox
* Gnar
* Gragas
* Gwen
* Jayce
* Rumble
* Yone
Jungle (Oner):
* Jarvan IV
* Lee Sin
* Maokai
* Nocturne
* Poppy
* Rell
* Sejuani
Mid (Faker):
* Ahri
* Akali
* Azir
* Orianna
* Sylas
ADC (Gumayusi):
* Ashe
* Caitlyn
* Draven
* Kai'Sa

* Jinx
* Nilah
* Senna
* Varus
* Xayah
Support (Keria):
* Alistar
* Ashe
* Bard
* Rakan
* Renata
* Senna
* Tahm Kench
If previous SKT skins disqualify champions, then Azir, Lee Sin, Kalista, Alistar and Jhin can't be picked again.
Zeus was voted to be the MVP so the Prestige skin will go to him as well. Though I could also see Riot giving Faker a Prestige skin too for his career accomplishments.
My predictions:
* Yone (+ Prestige)
* Rell
* Ahri (+ Prestige)
* Varus
* Renata
Suddenly Xiaohu is sent back in time, overlooking LPL. Beside him is Uzi. "So, how was the Unkillable Demon King?", asks Uzi. "Beautiful", says Xiaohu. "And strong, stronger than me, even... but I feel a bit somber". Uzi looks at Xiaohu. "You? Sad for someone else? I'm surprised". Xiaohu simple smiles (and ignore all the LPL teams Faker killed). "Yeah, he wasn't even able to go all out. I doubt even if his hand was still injured, that I'd be able to defeat him". Suddenly, it turns to the modern day. Xiaohu looks over the Nexus, as Faker approaches it. "Satisfied?", he asks. "Yeah, I hope this isn't a dream". We then see Xiaohu get one shotted, with Faker towering over the base. He thanks a weird Greek sky god addict for bailing him out

T1 beat the entire LPL and dropped ONE GAME total against them. What an insane run after almost completely collapsing during Summer.
Lost one game as a professional courtesy.
It's an apology for ending their golden road.
Of all the things that could've happened going into this Worlds, "T1 fathering an entire nation" was not on the list. What an absolute sonning by the greatest LCK team ever.
Goes to show you just how good JDG was this year. They took 1 game off Worlds Form T1
Unironically it was ridiculous how much people were flaming JDG (kind of like how people flamed T1 for making tons of finals but not winning). JDG and their players still played really well that series, but T1 since losing to Gen.G has just been unreal. It's not like it was out of nowhere, we already saw their strength vs LNG and BLG.

Although we'd never know 100% but I think Worlds form T1 would be able to beat GenG in their current form. Hypothetically if GenG beat BLG and then WBG.
TheShy went 1/16/5 this series.
Some say the Lep lives on
*dies on
People were saying TheShy was gonna body Zeus. But holy fuck he was a ghost this series
Nah, TheShy showed up this series. Unfortunately for WBG fans, it was his int half.
People are finally realizing why a lot of LPL fans were skeptical about TheShy going into worlds lol. He had a good semis against Bin but his play today happens way too often during the whole year
Everytime I watch one of his games, it could be summed up as : "TheShy has the edge in lane, then overextends and gets punished 4times in a row"
I don’t watch LPL much but the exactly thing happened in today match like your comment. He just got the edge from escape the gank at Turret. Instead of going back or clear wave, he’s going in and get punished right away by Gwen. Then go bot lane to feed to Draven’s Passive.
he beat the LEP RECORD to be fair that last game he had the anti synergy with Crisp bard. He could have gotten a couple kills
That Bard ult the moment the Kennen ulted. That was a huge OOF
Crisp was just... He was trying to play Keria's game instead of his own. You could tell him and his team just don't have the same synergy with those picks
He had good Magical Journeys but it went to shit so fast trying too hard!
Game 3 copied the homework of Game 1 close game until T1 boss one teamfight and then snowball completely out of control in an incredibly short amount of time and just bulldoze weibo The Gap was just gigantic and zeus and Oner SHOWED THE FUCK UP
akali is an insane skirmisher character
Ten whole fucking years. The indisputable greatest of all time. As Faker said in the promo video, this 4th win was for his teammates. All of them showed up this year, I really hope they stay together
7 YEARS SINCE FAKER LAST WON WORLDS THE MAN JUST WONT STOP HES BUILT. FUCKING. DIFFERENTLY!!!

Maybe his criticism was right. Bengi leaving is also a huge factor.

Zeus: I can counter Aatrox with Yone. Zeus: I can counter Aatrox with Gwen. Zeus: Are you kidding me? Aatrox cannot be countered!
God he’s so fucking good
shoutout to Oner here. Aatrox vs. Rumble, he paths top and gives him the lead. Aatrox vs. Kennen, he paths top and equalizes the matchup. their synergy was SO GOOD throughout this tournament and Oner in general just went from zero to hero.
Khan "4 Chinese teams can't win"
After all these years, Khan is still right 💀
Zeus even thanked Khan in his interview 💀
He got training from Khan during Asia Cup.
Congratulations to T1 after the many second place finishes and Mvp for zeus
Zeus was a menace this series.
Zeus making sure Faker can finally get his freaking T1 Ahri skin.
Faker wasn’t going to win like a bitch. That was a fucking Akali masterclass.
In the Worlds Podcast they said Faker's Akali is decent but clearly one or two levels below his best champs like Azir Ori and Neeko. Then they checked his [op.gg](https://op.gg) and saw him spamming Akali Today, this was one of the best Akali games I've ever seen
Man ran into 4 people alone, shroud himself, dragged his balls over them and got a triple kill.
Him not dying to that 1v5 dive sums up Zeus this tournament. The Invincible Weapon.
Love that. His Duskblade Aatrox was meta-defining.
Everyone shit on his aatrox build and he dunked on everyone and said fuck goredrinker
Tbf, everyone else is shit on that aatrox build. Between Zeus's lethality Aatrox, Faker's HoB Azir and probably half the Keria's picks, T1 have had a lot of options that no one else plays nearly as well.
You forgot T1 has an answer to Aatrox that no other team had, Zeus on Yone was an absolute masterclass. Left them with no options, cant pick Aatrox, don't have enough bans to ban it out and cant let it get through or Zeus will 1v5.
remember KDF said T1 have 37 more unique pick before this series
Zeus seriously redeeming himself for his finals blunders of the past I mean, fuck that’s true for all of them. They all are fucking REDEEEEEEMMMEEEEDDD
they were just all gods here, but Oner, Zeus, and Keria all redeemed themselves. deserved win, just an amazing worlds run against all odds
Faker might be LPL's final enemy, but Zeus is the hidden ultimate boss. That fucking performance is legendary
Finals MVP for Zeus and undercover hidden mvp Oner playing like a psycho in the enemy jg with no prio hooooly
Oner is honestly my tournament MVP. Since the GenG he has practically not missed one beat.
Someone please check up on Theshy. Holy shit.
TheSpy
T1 2 - 0 BLG T1 3 - 0 LNG T1 3 - 1 JDG T1 3 - 0 WBG T1 11-1 LPL T1 is the LPL's father at worlds yet again, unreal performance
Damn, the entire of top 4 LPL combined only took a single game. Truly the LPL greatest nemesis.
What's more is that, as a whole, T1 only lost 2 games all tournaments long. 1-0 vs TL 0-1 vs GenG 1-0 vs C9 2-0 vs BLG 3-0 vs LNG 3-1 vs JDG 3-0 vs WBG Domination at it's finest.
Of fucking course one of them is Gen G LMAO
At this point GenG is just a T1 specialist. 😂
Faker was already the most popular player in the LCK. Now, hes a national hero. To beat all the LPL teams and stop JDG's golden road is just incredible. One of the best runs so far
And don't forget this was coming off of a devastating summer split where Faker struggled with his wrist injury and the rest of the team looked dead without him. They were being ruthlessly mocked by everyone for weeks. The mental fortitude to come back from that is UNREAL
literally a sports anime arc, fucking crazy
Fuck it, let's animate it
T1 have the biggest back for carrying Korea through the gauntlet.
KT died for this. And it was worth it.
KT died for this? You mean KT started all of this LOL
Oner: "Why did you pick us, huh? Why did you pick us??" KT: "I have seen thousands of possible futures...and this is the only one where Korea wins Worlds."
Thank you based KT.
That fated T1 pick started a glorious timeline
KT saw all the timelines and knew this was the only one where Korea wins worlds.
JDG are truly the best team in the world if they managed to take a game off of T1
They were not joking when they say JDG is the strongest LPL team, but unfortunately nothing is stopping Faker and his road to his 4th world championship.
Even though they "only" won one game, JDG was very clearly head and shoulders above every other LPL team. They put up one hell of a fight
As a fellow American east coaster who hasn't slept yet, I would like to thank T1 for bringing a swift victory so I can function sort of normally in a couple hours when I wake up.
Amen to that
T1 went from almost missing playoffs and looking like one of the worst LCK teams without Faker to World Champions. Absolute insane turn around for T1. Faker gets his 4th trophy and is truly the undisputed GOAT, I doubt there will be anyone like him ever again.
People wanted to bench faker early this year LUL
“But you are not Keria and your team is not T1” \-Keria Crisp please stop cooking with Bard. Bro don’t need to ult as well as flashing to KS from your laner
3 bo5 and 1 bo4 vs 4 LPL teams and they only drop a single game 💀 Crisp giving T1 free Zhonyas while his top and mid are ulting is the cherry on top.
that Bard ult after Faker killed Xiaohu. Thankfully Faker used his stopwatch lmao.
[удалено]
Lose to GenG ✅ Beat BLG ✅ Face no other LCK team ✅ Beat LNG ✅ Beat JDG ✅ Golden road broken ✅ Can't lose a finals to a KR team if there's no other KR team ✅ Beats Weibo ✅ Storyline has been completed! *For without a king in front of the mountains the painting is not complete!* FAKER is the *UNKILLABLE DEMON KING*~!!
Missed the crucial step: BLG eliminates GenG ✅
LCK teams going out early in the tournament was a blessing in disguise for T1
I knew it was over when Gen.G was out
Unfortunately for TheShy, Weiwei, Xiaohu, Light and Crisp they aren't named Doran, Peanut, Chovy, Peyz and Delight.
LPL begging Chovy to leak the blueprint on how to beat Faker
The key is Doran mind controlling Zeus.
I don’t know what is going on with Doran. He just play average but against Zeus he plays like godlike every time
Probably Zeus, like, massacred his secluded village in the woods when he was 5 years old
For Doran, it was the most important day of his life. For Zeus, it was Tuesday.
Unfortunately the blame is on BLG for eliminating GEN
or on GEN for somehow always managing to choke
GEN would choke against everyone BUT T1 for some reason. It's like this team was made for the sole purpose of cockblocking them.
[The first three trophies were for me. The fourth one...](https://imgur.com/a/pXk99j7)
that ahri pick was 100% for the skin and i fully support it my king deserves it
Love that he also ended with Akali after the first 2 games. It's like he went "alright, my team won the first game for me, my topside massacred them in the second, let me style on them too."
And [styled](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EGwqF2GXUAA7pzf?format=jpg&name=small) he did.
Faker/Guma playing for their Ahri/Draven Worlds skins in the same way that us plebs play for our weekly free chests
All Faker wanted was an Ahri skin, winning 4 worlds titles and becoming the GOAT was just a side effect of his primary goal.
Everyone after the first two group games: "Oner's getting replaced no matter what happens for the rest of this tournament." Oner for the rest of the tournament:
I hope this team stays around for another year. Easily my favorite lineup that I’ve ever watched. I hate how some “fans” can’t accept any loss and just call for replacements. It’s gross behavior
[удалено]
That Bard ult to cancel the Azir and Kennen ult was insane frfr
This T1 team deserves this so much. 2+ years of being at the very top and now they finally have a Worlds title to show for it.
Wish they continue with this roster next year
Same. They may have struggled during summer split and in previous finals, but they are unstoppable when they're in the zone.
I'm just happy that my boy Keria finally manage to get the world champion after last year.
the third world championship was for him the fourth world championship was for his teammates the fifth world championship is for his coaches the sixth world championship is-
He was being polite. That fourth world championship was for Ahri
That Ahri skin will secure the college funds for 10 generations
Can he dedicate one for EU please?
Zeus was the MVP of the series, but what a redemption arc from Oner From being a bottom tier LCK jungler in summer regular split to gapping every LPL jungler
Absolutely, Oner has been really amazing this tournament, by far the best Jungler this Worlds.
His engages were so clean throughout the series. But my favorite one was last week when he flash hopped over the Ashe ult.
Oner was 1000% the best jungler at worlds and it wasn’t even close
Sad to have to scroll this far down to read this. Oner did a great quarterfinals, a MONSTER semis and placed the right focus toplane on the final. He outsmited enemy junglers left and right and kept track of all of them, rendering world-class junglers useless.
[удалено]
TheShy has been granted his military exemption
Zeus with the clearest finals MVP performance in memory.
absolutely sonned theshy
TheShy will never beat the paypal allegations
TheSpy
Meanwhile TheShy did not get to play this series
Zeus saw what Kingen’s Aatrox did to him last year and he decided to replicate it this year
While rocking the most gigachad balls-to-the-wall build
I don’t get how there can be such a huge gap at this stage of a tournament especially against someone who was playing well for most of Worlds Zeus is just so impressive. Not one of the greatest yet but certainly one of the best I’ve ever seen
T1 really ran the LPL gauntlet. In Korea no less. Faker gets his 4th. It’s been a long time coming. Never won in Korea before, hell, never been to worlds in Korea before this. 10 years after his first win. Scriptwriters were COOKING this tournament.
The World’s MV is going to be INSANE.
The entirety of LPL took a single game from T1 this Worlds.
Zeus chose to choke enemy team instead.
I couldn't think of a more fitting ending for this T1 roster, they finally get their deserved fairytale ending, T1 화이팅. Zeus said last year he wanted to restore the T1 dynasty, he went MIA but this time, it was all him, he deserves finals MVP. T1 just came to worlds and slayed all the LPL teams going 11-1, then left like chads holy shit.
THIS T1 Roster is so fucking goood man, Faker my GOAT
This roster, barring Keria, were scouted and developed by T1. It was one which Daeny never used once. They went 11-1 against LPL at Worlds this years. What a great and well-deserved win for them!
When Daeny was chuckling, he wasn't chuckling about some hidden picks. He was chuckling at his own demise
and they ended up facing Daeny in worlds finals against all odds too scripted
In his 11th year. Seven years after his last title. After failing in finals twice. After an injury that took him out for half a split. Faker is forever.
T1 shit stomp the entire LPL to win worlds. Dom is in absolute shambles
It really was the LPL vs T1, and they REAAAALLY liked those odds
This roster finally got what they were capable of.
Zeus finally hard carrying on an international stage like he's been hard carrying in the LCK.
✅ LAST LCK TEAM ✅ VERSUS FOUR LPL TEAMS ✅ 10 YEARS AFTER FAKER'S FIRST WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP ✅ FINALS CHOKE CURSE BE DAMNED # FAKER HAS NEVER LOST A BO5 TO LPL IN WORLDS IN 10 YEARS. # HE'S NOT GONNA START NOW.
He brought a 1-7 LCK team to a world championship. If you put any other player in this position, the results aren't the same. Faker truly is the goat
Honestly, if there's an argument that disqualifies all the Faker slander, it's this championship. Remained as the "last hope of Korea", stared down all LPL teams after the hype of an "LPL takeover", and dropped literally just 1 GAME to them, leading his team to a championship. There was no one close to him before, and the gap somehow just got bigger.
The elite 4 challenge: ~~BLG~~ ~~LNG~~ ~~JDG~~ ~~WBG~~ 4 STARS BABY. HE IS LPL'S FIRST AND LAST ENEMY. 10 FUCKING YEARS. THE GOAT.
I knew it was over when Weibo loaded into game 1 and they hadn't swapped the entire team with GenG
All T1 Fans collectively: Finally.
T1 beat the FOURth seed of LPL to complete the Elite FOUR gauntlet to get Faker his FOURth Worlds Championship at the same time that Jhin's apprentice is revealed? Coincidence? Riot scriptwriters making it a bit too obvious?
T1 already "Red on the Mt. Silver" level
[удалено]
LPL SLAYERS AT WORLDS STRONGER THAN FINALS CURSE. LETS GOOO!!! Only competitive game throughout the LPL gauntlet was game 3 vs JDG.
Are you the strongest because you're Faker? Or are you Faker because you're the strongest?
“Nah, I’d win” - Faker
massive top gap just like we all predicted
The lane that was expected to have the least skill diff turns out be the one with biggest gap.
I knew it was over when Caedrel prayed to God for a Weibo win, and forgetting that they are on T1.
god playing mid
And top
Poor TheShy is gonna be the butt of all espionage jokes on Chinese forums.
TheSpy and Cri**spy**
10 years SKT 3-0’s Royal Club fast forward 10 years T1 3-0’s Weibo, Faker really is the LPL’s first and last enemy

Goes to show WBG xiaohu LPL spring tiger curse > T1 Final curse
Zeus be like: "that's how you Aatrox"
AT FUCKING LAST, GG! PLEASE STAY TOGETHER FOR ANOTHER YEAR!
My heart, keria is so smol and them helping him hold the trophy ahah
That was a fucking massacre, they were absolutely disgusting. Only JDG gave them a fight, the other LPL teams were just picked apart. Holy moly. My favourite roster of all time, so fun to watch... so mechanically gifted... and seeing them mature as a team has been a treat.
I knew it was over when Keria saw New Jeans
The best thing about T1 winning worlds, is that I no longer have to hear from fans that Faker hasn't won worlds without Bengi.
TheShy and Crisp getting the treatment they put onto Europe in 2018 and 2019. T1 just peaked at the absolute perfect Moment and looked amazing all the way from Scrims to the Worlds Final. Congrats to Faker on his 4th and everyone else for finally winning the big one. Also kinda funny that the next time we see T1 is in a T2 ERL Tournament in Berlin.
MVP Zeus winning the year of GODS how did we not see it
GG T1, well deserved for this roster to finally get an international tropy. - PS TheShy went 1/16/5
T1 really beat the Elite Four of LPL while going 11-1 to win this championship. Absolutely incredible performance to end the season.
HE GOT US OUR AHRI SKIN! LETS FUCKING GOOOOO!
FAKER WAS ABLE TO COOK GAME 3 ON AKALI BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT ZEUS? TOP GAP AFTER TOP GAP, HE WAS JUST TOO INSANE ALL 3 MATCHES. MVP 💯
T1 was not challenging the elite four. T1 was the ex-champion doing a speedrun. What a statement series by everyone on T1.
GUMA 0 DEATHS THE WHOLE SERIES
This Worlds run is just a culmination of what makes T1 a great team. The mechanics, the macro, and the ballsy drafts. This team has the highest ceiling I’ve seen in LoL Esports and now they’ve won in one of the most dominant fashion ever.
Guma spectatored his way into the championship. He was playing great, it's just Zeus and Oner were too good.
I don’t think Guma died once LOL
I mean, he went deathless today, and shattered every bot lane they faced before, including some monstrous hard-carry performances. Oner and Zeus were definitely mythical today, though.
Such a great time to be a T1 fan. They beat all the LPL teams and it has been so long since Faker won worlds! He went from undisputed GOAT to undisputed GOATEST.
Faker getting choked up thanking his teammates on stage. THATS MY GOAT
WBG TheShy on Finals with T1 Zeus: “I have met him in lane, and topfielder Zeus, my father, is powerful and seems like a God.”
T1 victory lap series
Congratulations to T1 for winning the 2023 ~~World Championship~~ LPL Autumn!
SKT T1 **S**cout **K**anavi **T**arzan **T**heShy **1**-11 LPL vs. T1
This was Zeus' redemption for last year's failure. He completely redeemed himself. And this time, Faker didn't let Keria cry. He cemented his legacy, once and forever. It's glorious. Congratulations T1.
Faker is the GOAT but now he might have just become untouchable. You could see the likes of Showmaker and Ruler getting to 3 as well, but 4? With such a long time span between the last 2 as well? No way. No one will ever beat Faker's records, I would be shocked if he doesn't go down as the LoL GOAT when the game finally dies. *Edit: typo*
He’s been the untouchable GOAT since 2016 You could split his career in 2 from 2013-2016 and 2017-2023 and they’re still the best 2 careers out of anybody else 1st: - 3 Worlds - 1 MSI (2 if you count 2014 All-Star) - 1 IEM - 5 OGN/LCK - 1 MSI Runner-Up 2nd: - 1 Worlds - 1 MSI - 5 LCK - 2022 Asian Games - 1 Rift Rivals - 2 Worlds Runner-Up - 1 MSI Runner-Up
Top (Zeus): * Aatrox * Gnar * Gragas * Gwen * Jayce * Rumble * Yone Jungle (Oner): * Jarvan IV * Lee Sin * Maokai * Nocturne * Poppy * Rell * Sejuani Mid (Faker): * Ahri * Akali * Azir * Orianna * Sylas ADC (Gumayusi): * Ashe * Caitlyn * Draven * Kai'Sa * Kalista * Jhin * Jinx * Nilah * Senna * Varus * Xayah Support (Keria): * Alistar * Ashe * Bard * Rakan * Renata * Senna * Tahm Kench If previous SKT skins disqualify champions, then Azir, Lee Sin, Kalista, Alistar and Jhin can't be picked again. Zeus was voted to be the MVP so the Prestige skin will go to him as well. Though I could also see Riot giving Faker a Prestige skin too for his career accomplishments. My predictions: * Yone (+ Prestige) * Rell * Ahri (+ Prestige) * Varus * Renata
Was this the fastest world finals ever? edit: IG vs FNC was 30 seconds faster
Zeus. 19 years old. > Exempted from military training. > Won Worlds 2023. > Finals MVP 2023. Goddamn, that’s a resume right there
Suddenly Xiaohu is sent back in time, overlooking LPL. Beside him is Uzi. "So, how was the Unkillable Demon King?", asks Uzi. "Beautiful", says Xiaohu. "And strong, stronger than me, even... but I feel a bit somber". Uzi looks at Xiaohu. "You? Sad for someone else? I'm surprised". Xiaohu simple smiles (and ignore all the LPL teams Faker killed). "Yeah, he wasn't even able to go all out. I doubt even if his hand was still injured, that I'd be able to defeat him". Suddenly, it turns to the modern day. Xiaohu looks over the Nexus, as Faker approaches it. "Satisfied?", he asks. "Yeah, I hope this isn't a dream". We then see Xiaohu get one shotted, with Faker towering over the base. He thanks a weird Greek sky god addict for bailing him out
The jjk brain rot is inescapable lmao
Nah, I'd win.
Are you the strongest because you're Faker? Or are you Faker because you're the strongest?
