There is no end to Faker’s League of Legends legacy because there are only new chapters that somehow, astonishingly, surpass the last. He has redefined what it means to be successful in esports, transforming moments of brilliance into a timeless career.
The latest addition to his storied legacy is the Esports PC Player of the Decade award, which honors his unparalleled career full of titles and solidifies his status as a singular force in competitive gaming across multiple other esports titles. For Faker, this isn’t just another trophy. It’s a reflection of a journey that continues to elevate, inspire, and defy expectation.
Not just Faker, his team T1, Riot Games, and League of Legends had a great day at the Esports Awards. T1 won the Esports Team of the Decade, and the team’s coach, KKoma, won the Esports Coach of the Decade. League also won the Esports Game of the Decade, while Riot secured the Esports Publisher of the Decade.
The developer also got an extra award for Worlds 2017, which showcased a breathtaking AR dragon that soared over Beijing’s Bird’s Nest stadium, blending cutting-edge technology with deep cultural symbolism to redefine esports spectacle for everyone.
For Faker, T1, Riot Games, and League itself, this historic sweep at the Esports Awards was a celebration of past achievements, a powerful affirmation of lasting influence, and a positive sign of the growth of esports.
As Worlds 2025 heads back to China, fans should expect a spectacle to further build on the foundation of esports excellence already established in the scene.
