The League of Legends megastar Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok has ended a number of months of hypothesis over his future by re-signing with the South Korean outfit T1 for 3 extra years. The participant is extensively thought to be one of many best LoL gamers in historical past, and not too long ago, reviews had instructed that western organisations together with Staff Liquid have been sniffing round.

T1 CEO Joe Marsh mentioned: “Honored and grateful Faker has selected to spend the following 3 years at T1! This free agent course of was helpful for each of us and I’m excited for Faker to steer this org for years to return. T1 is residence for Faker. Thanks to all the Lee household for making this second attainable.”
Faker’s been with T1, previously SK Telecom T1, since 2013, the identical 12 months he received his first LoL Worlds title. Over his profession our unkillable good friend has received an additional two Worlds titles and two MSI titles, and although latest years have been lean on the trophy entrance T1 continues to achieve finals (and Faker continues to carry out exceptionally properly on the large stage).

Faker was most not too long ago within the information for non-gaming causes, after he and T1 determined sufficient was sufficient when it got here to the web abuse directed on the participant (and his mom). Collectively they launched a go well with in South Korea in opposition to “the John Does which have constantly and repeatedly harassed Lee ‘Faker’ Sang-hyeok on-line”.
