The induction of Faker to inaugurate the Hall of Legends is absolutely the right choice. The Unkillable Demon King, the most iconic nickname in his career, has truly done it all in League of Legends. Since his breakout performance in 2013, he has won a record-setting four World Championships, two MSI trophies, and a staggering 10 LCK titles.

Faker is also the longest-tenured player to play for a single organization. Throughout this career, he has only played for South Korean giants T1. His unmatched success and passion for the game have allowed him to become a part-owner of the organization. Throughout T1's countless iterations, the God of League of Legends has always remained the stalwart of the mid lane.

Here's what John Needham, the President of Esports at Riot Games had to say about the Unkillable Demon King's induction into the Hall of Legends:

“Faker is truly the most iconic and influential figure in League of Legends and esports history. His name is synonymous with excellence in LoL Esports, and he has rightfully earned his place as our very first Hall of Legends inductee.”
