Faker Makes History: 1,000 LCK Games Milestone in Telecom War 2025 | LoL Esports

The 2025 LCK season is underway, and while Lee “Faker” Sang-Hyeok faced some early challenges, he is about to make history once again. The T1 mid-laner will achieve a groundbreaking milestone during the season’s first Telecom War, becoming the first player ever to compete in 1,000 professional LCK matches.

A Historic Rivalry Sets the Stage

T1 had a mixed start to the season, suffering a defeat against Dplus KIA before bouncing back with a strong victory over DRX. However, their upcoming January 24 clash against KT Rolster—a classic LCK rivalry known as the Telecom War—carries even greater weight. This match isn’t just about securing another win for T1. For Faker, it marks a historic achievement, as he becomes the first professional League of Legends player to reach 1,000 official games in the LCK.

Faker’s Career by the Numbers

Since his debut in 2013, Faker has remained loyal to T1, guiding the team to five World Championship titles and cementing his legacy as one of the greatest players of all time. Across his career, he has recorded 666 wins and 333 losses, a statistic that has sparked memes and discussions among fans leading up to his 1,000th game. His dominance, consistency, and leadership have made him a true icon in esports, and this milestone further solidifies his legendary status in the competitive scene.

How to Watch the Telecom War

Fans can witness this historic moment live, as the Telecom War will be streamed on the official LCK Twitch and YouTube channels. Spanish-language coverage will also be available, with Mfreak, a well-known esports content creator, providing expert analysis and commentary. With Faker reaching an unprecedented milestone, this Telecom War promises to be a must-watch match in the 2025 LCK season.
