Faker set to continue his tenure with T1 after contract extension
Considered by many as the greatest League of Legends player of all time, Lee ‘Faker’ Sang-hyeok has only played for one organisation. Once known as SK Telecom T1 and now simply T1, the team plucked Faker out of ranked solo queue to be the superstar mid-laner for the team in 2013.
He has not looked back as he embarked on the most legendary career in League esports history. With five World Championships, he is the most successful player in professional League of Legends, and he has an opportunity to win more with this new contract.
Faker commits his future to T1
It has been an interesting 2025 for T1, as they lost in the Mid-Season Invitational to Gen.G in the Grand Finals, then they also finished third in the Esports World Cup 2025. While they would have wanted to win the trophies, they are still having a promising year.
That was enough for Faker to commit to T1 and continue playing as the team’s star mid-laner. His contract will last until 2029, which removes the T1 fans’ anxiety about his contract ahead of a potential third-straight Worlds win in late 2025.
