fake It will be in League of Legends Worlds again this year. The GOAT of the game already has 3 world titles, but still has an appetite. If her popularity has crossed borders and generations, it is clear that her last coronation started a little short… She lifted the trophy for the last time in 2016! T1 back then was called SKT and the roster had little in common with what it is today. Faker is also the only survivor but not the only player still active!
What happened after 6 years? 2016 World Champions ?
He is always on top: Faker
this demon king is is negative, literally. Even though the years have passed and he is now 26 years old, he is still faithful to his position in the team. If we can talk about the monument, we must emphasize that it does not belong only to the past. The Korean Champion, who became Korean Champion in the spring, continues to delight the public. His style of play has certainly evolved over time and it’s fair to say that the midfielder is no longer at his peak. He is less portable, but still very useful, plays for his team and contributes greatly to the collective unity in T1. It must be said that with his teammates Zeus (top) or Silver (ADC), Grandpa Faker can be trusted by others.
In Korea (ShowMaker, Chovy, Bdd) or elsewhere (Knight, Doinb…), many intermediaries have emerged to compete with Faker. Everyone wants to take his place, and some are definitely better than him without humiliating him. But the fraudster continues to run his course Inner Peace.

Kang”empty“Sung-gu shared the jungler’s starting point and became world champion in 2016. blast. Second, while SKT’s longevity and many successes managed to captivate their fans, Blank couldn’t leave a comparable image. But he also won some great trophies… In addition to the worlds, we can also mention the MSI, IEM and LCK championships. However, the team’s fans were quick to switch sides, and one wonders if today’s youngsters have heard of him… SKTchained to this much less glorious experience. Sometimes in South Korea, but especially in Japan, he hasn’t won a championship since.

They are retired and from different backgrounds: Herzog, Bang, Bang and Wolf
Faker and Blank aside, the entire roster for the 2016 world champion has been eliminated. The career of a professional player is short-lived. Although some may look relatively young after winning the world title, they still have something to be proud of.
- Lee”dukeHo-Sung: The former top laner played his last competitive game August 23, 2019. We haven’t heard from him since and we can assume that he served in the army. In the meantime, we can say that with another team, Invictus Gaming, he will be world champion again in 2018.
- Bay”blast“Song-woong: Another jungler on the list looks like three-time world champion Faker. After SKT, he freelanced in China, where he played for the last time. April 21, 2017. He then returned to the team, but was integrated into the technical staff. He is still a coach today.
- Bay”blastJun-sik: The former ADC was born the same year as Faker. But one is always on top, while the other supports the trajectory of the editor. However, his retirement came to an end relatively recently, as he played his last game in the LCK. Spring 2021. Afreeca Freecs wore a tunic.
- Lee”KurdishJae-Wan: Born in 1996, like Bang and Faker. Together, they were three devilish friends. However, the former supporter has a time resigned. His last game was on August 31, 2019. In a land far away… Wolf ended his career in Turkey but now plays as a more relaxed broadcaster due to his mental health issues.
