Faker added two more milestones to his resume this past week in LCK Spring Split play to underline his status as the greatest League of Legends player of all time. The legendary T1 mid-laner became the first player in the LCK to accomplish the 600th win and 3,000th kill in domestic play over the weekend.
However, despite the feat by Faker, he is not the first LCK player or overall to reach the 3,000-kill milestone; he is not the first overall professional to hit that number as LPL veterans Rookie and Xiaohu hit the number over in the Chinese domestic league last season.
Faker’s 3000th kill happened against OK Brion with Taliyah in the first game of Saturday; T1 then went ahead to win by a score of two games to none. Despite the fact that no player in the LCS or LEC has ever reached the 3000 kill mark, two active players in Western leagues are close to achieving the milestone with FlyQuest’s Jensen and G2 Esports’ Caps on their way to the enviable feat.
Meanwhile, Faker’s 600th overall win in the LCK came last week against DRX. Faker has been in the LCK since 2013, so racking up 600 victories was easy, and it is the most in LCK history. The veteran has at least 150 wins more than KT Rolster ADC Deft, the player with the next-highest number of victories on the all-time wins list.
If consideration is put on international events like Worlds and MSI, Faker’s all-time numbers will be more than what they are currently. Meanwhile, T1 sits in second place in the LCK with an overall record of 5-1, with their only loss in this split coming against Gen.G. Gen. G has a six-match winning streak, having started the 2024 season with a six-match winning streak.
