Faker sets historic record as the first player with 100 victories at Worlds

The esports world witnessed a historic moment at Worlds 2024. Faker, the enduring leader and mid laner of T1, became the first player in history to achieve 100 wins at Worlds tournaments. His journey is marked not only by incredible skill but also by remarkable consistency, maintaining a 74% win rate over 135 matches. This achievement once again underscores Faker's status as one of the most influential figures in the esports world.

For fans and analysts, this event holds special significance. Faker has long become a symbol of success in League of Legends, and his victories are a benchmark of mastery. The accumulated experience and decades at the highest level make him an example for hundreds of young players dreaming of esports glory. Analyst Monsieur Yordle provided full statistics in his post on X.

The Path to the Record and Its Significance for Worlds History

Since 2013, when Faker debuted on the world stage, he has lifted the Worlds trophy four times and repeatedly rewritten history. His career is tied to many iconic moments: from legendary comebacks to strategic breakthroughs that changed the approaches to the game. Today, Faker continues to perform at the highest level, demonstrating versatility and the ability to adapt to any meta.

But aside from his remarkable achievement, other numbers are intriguing. Deft, one of Faker's long-time rivals, holds second place in the number of wins with 61 wins in 104 matches, maintaining a 59% win rate. BeryL and Ruler, two titled players, achieved 60 wins each, but their stats reflect different approaches to the game: BeryL has the best win rate in the top 10 (75%), while Ruler played more matches (93). Other stars, such as Canyon, Showmaker, Peanut, and Caps, continue to chase the top spots, highlighting their status in the world of League of Legends.

Why This Record Is Important for the Future of the Scene

Faker's victories are not just a part of history but a benchmark for all players aspiring to reach the top. His example shows that success in esports requires not only talent but also discipline, the ability to adapt, and maintaining focus even under pressure. In the growing competition of the professional scene, Faker's record becomes a symbol that outstanding results are achievable for those ready to dedicate themselves fully to the game.
