In the world of professional League of Legends, few names carry as much weight as Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok and Jeong “Chovy” Ji-hoon. Faker, known as the midlaner for team T1, has a legendary status. Chovy, on the other hand, plays the mid role for Gen.G. These two top players have faced each other many times, creating one of esports’ most exciting rivalries.
Their history is deep. Faker and Chovy have met on the virtual battlefield a staggering 130 times. After their last clash in the first round of the LCK (League of Legends Champions Korea), where T1 secured a win, the score between them became perfectly even. Both players now stand at 65 victories each. This tie sets up a massive moment. The score will not stay even for long, as they are set to battle again very soon.
Faker’s Enduring Legacy
Many thought Faker, often called the “GOAT” (Greatest Of All Time) of League of Legends, might be nearing retirement. However, that is not the case. He plans to keep playing for several more years. His contract with T1 now runs until 2029. By then, he will be 33 years old, showing his deep commitment to the competitive scene. This extended career path bucks the trend for many esports athletes.
