Faker, a name legendary in League of Legends, just added another impressive feat to his record. T1, his team, won big this Saturday at the MSI 2025 (Mid-Season Invitational) playoffs. This big win means Faker has now landed a top-three spot in 17 international tournaments.
The League of Legends superstar led T1 to a clean 3-0 sweep over Bilibili Gaming. This victory, against China’s second-best team, keeps his amazing run going. He has now finished on the podium in eight international events in a row. It’s a level of consistency rarely seen in competitive gaming.
There was only one time Faker didn’t make the top three. That was during the Mid-Season Cup, which took the place of MSI when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. He finished 7th or 8th in that one. But besides that, it has been a steady climb to the top.
T1 will now face Gen.G. This big match is set for July 9th. The winner gets a spot in the grand final. Everyone is watching to see if Faker can push his team even further.
Earlier on Saturday, another playoff match happened. CFO took on KOI in the lower bracket. CFO won that game 3-1. This result knocked out the second European team from the tournament. G2 was the first European team to leave, losing to FlyQuest. Now, only teams from China, South Korea, the Pacific region, and LTA North are left to fight for the trophy.
