Shortly afterwards, WBG Weiwei (Bel’Veth) ganked the botlane, supported by Bard’s portal. Rakan (Keria) threw them up with his W, but he was unable to save himself and was defeated. Bel’Veth continued to dominate in the early game after that, with Weiwei scoring a kill again on the top plane and then getting the Herald for his team.
T1 turned the game around with strong team fights
The decisive battle for the second dragon took place at minute 12, and T1, especially with Zeus and Faker, was able to win it.
But the highlight came in the 18th minute when Keria stormed into the team fight for the dragon with a daring flash and the Rakan ulti. Faker used his Akali cleverly and secured an impressive 3 kills, which meant that T1 won the teamfight.

The final teamfight with Zeus in the spotlight
The final team fight, which took place on the top plane, was the highlight of the game. Zeus held off the opponents in the 1 vs. 3 with Aatrox on the top plane and tanked so much damage by constantly healing himself up, which meant that the rest of his team could come to help and he even survived the fight in the end. Faker and Gumayusi showed impressive moves with Xayah and Akali, overwhelmed WBG Gaming and finally pushed, giving T1 the victory and the world title.

Faker is world champion for the fourth time
Lee Faker Sang-hyeok is undoubtedly a living legend and is considered one of the most outstanding and best players in League of Legends history. His impressive career began back in 2013 when he won his first world title at the Worlds at just 17 years old.
The years 2015 and 2016 were also marked by success, as Faker won the LoL Worlds again and established himself as a dominant force in the scene. His exceptional talent, tactical skills and ability to lead his team to peak performance made him a champion and a legend.
Despite these successes, Faker experienced a phase of disappointment in the years that followed. In 2017, he lost to Samsung Galaxy in the final with T1 and was unable to defend the title. This moment was particularly emotional as Faker burst into tears after the loss. The following years no longer brought the same shine and success – in 2018 T1 did not make it to the Worlds.
But the unkillable demon king Faker will now win the world championship title for the fourth time at the Worlds 2023 and for the first time in his home country of South Korea.
Today, T1 secured victory against and is therefore the world champion of LoL Worlds 2023. Fans can expect a series of skins from T1 to be implemented into the game soon, as has always been the case before.
What’s next? On December 9th, 2023, T1 will come to Germany and play against the German streamer team NNO in Berlin. Faker will compete against the popular German LoL streamers NoWay and Tolkin.
