Faker Makes History at MSI 2026

T1 started MSI 2026 with a strong performance. The LCK champions defeated Team Liquid 3-0 and showed why they are among the favorites to win the tournament.

However, the biggest story was not the scoreline. Instead, it was Faker’s latest achievement.

After T1 won Game 2, Faker officially recorded his 100th career victory at MSI. Therefore, he became the first player ever to reach this milestone.

This achievement is another chapter in his legendary career. Even after more than a decade, Faker remains at the top of professional League of Legends.

Why 100 MSI Wins Is So Impressive

Reaching 100 wins at MSI is extremely difficult.

Unlike domestic leagues, MSI is a short international event. Only the best teams qualify. In addition, players compete in far fewer games.

As a result, opportunities to collect wins are limited.

To reach 100 MSI victories, a player must:

Qualify for many international events
Stay competitive for several years
Reach the later stages consistently
Beat the best teams in the world

Very few players have been able to maintain that level for so long.

That is why Faker’s record is so special.

Faker’s MSI Legacy Keeps Growing

Faker made his debut in 2013. Since then, he has become the face of League of Legends esports.

During his career, he has played against several generations of stars. Many legendary players have retired. However, Faker continues to compete at the highest level.

His MSI achievements are already unmatched.

Over the years, Faker has:

Won multiple MSI titles
Reached many international finals
Defeated world-class opponents
Set numerous records
Stayed at the top for over a decade

Even in 2026, he remains one of the best mid laners in the world.

Faker is still persistently leading T1 to victory.

Another Record for the “Unkillable Demon King”

The 100-win milestone is only one of many records Faker owns.

According to Leaguepedia, he has already achieved several historic firsts.

First Player to Reach 100 Wins at Worlds

In 2024, Faker became the first player to record 100 victories at the League of Legends World Championship.

First Player to Reach 200 International Wins

Then, in 2025, he became the first player to earn 200 international victories.

Holder of Countless Other Records

Faker also holds records for:

International appearances
International victories
Total games played
Career kills
Finals appearances
Career longevity

Because of this, many fans now call him the “King of Records.”

T1 Look Ready to Challenge for the Title

Besides Faker’s personal achievement, T1’s victory over Team Liquid also sent a strong message.

The team looked confident from start to finish.

Their performance featured:

Strong teamwork
Smart drafting
Excellent map control
Reliable team fights
Veteran leadership from Faker

As a result, T1 remain one of the strongest contenders at MSI 2026.

If Faker maintains this level, the team could make another deep international run.

Faker Continues to Defy Time

Most esports careers do not last very long.

However, Faker continues to prove that he is different.

After more than 13 years as a professional player, he still competes against the world’s best teams. He also continues to adapt to new metas and guide younger teammates.

His success comes from more than talent. It also comes from discipline, experience, and dedication.

That is why Faker has become more than just a player. He has become the greatest symbol of League of Legends esports.

The Legend Is Still Growing

When Faker started his career in 2013, nobody expected him to achieve so much. Today, every tournament gives him another chance to make history.

With his 100th MSI victory, Faker has once again shown why he is the greatest player in League of Legends history. And based on everything he has achieved, this record is unlikely to be his last.
