Faker’s Legendary 1000th LCK Game: A Milestone for the Ages
Can you believe it? Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok, the unshakable icon of League of Legends, has just played his 1000th LCK game . That number alone is staggering, but what makes it even more surreal is the fact that he’s still doing it at the highest level. The setting? None other than the iconic Telecom War against KT Rolster. Talk about poetry. Faker began this journey in 2013, and now, over a decade later, he continues to etch his name deeper into esports history.
His 1000th match comes after a series against Gen.G that shattered the record for the most-watched LCK regular season game. Now, he’s stepping into four-digit territory, a space no one else in Korean League of Legends has ever entered. For context, his closest competitor, Deft, has 835 games—and he’s already retired. The next in line, BDD, trails far behind at 766. The reality is, Faker’s record might never be broken .

What’s made this milestone so incredible isn’t just the number—it’s the legacy of moments Faker has gifted us. From the legendary Zed vs. Ryu 1v1 that introduced the world to his genius, to the LeBlanc pentakill against NaJin Sword that showcased his dominance. Or how about his Riven pick in the 2015 finals , proving to everyone that he wasn’t afraid to shake the meta and still come out on top? Let’s not forget his recent plays either. His Azir escape during a 2023 playoff gank ? Pure art. “The Unkillable Demon King” is a nickname he’s earned time and time again.
And now, with this 1000-game milestone, the big question looms: what’s next for Faker? He’s already won Worlds four times, including back-to-back in 2023 and 2024. If he claims the trophy again this year, it’ll be a three-peat—a feat that would cement his GOAT status even further. But with rumors swirling about his potential retirement, fans are starting to wonder if we’re witnessing the last stretch of his legendary run. He’s still got the fire, but no one defeats time forever.
Still, right now? Let’s live in this moment. Faker’s journey is a reminder of what greatness looks like—not just in wins, but in dedication, evolution, and unforgettable moments that define a generation of gaming. Whether you’ve been watching since his Nidalee debut in 2013 or you just saw your first Telecom War, you’ve witnessed history . Here’s to 1000 games—and maybe, just maybe, a few more to come.
