Faker, known as the "Unkillable Demon King," is the winningest player in League of Legends.

En route to the world championship finals, Faker made a hail mary play that would check-mate rival Ruler in JDG, and give T1 the momentum they needed to book that finals seat against Weibo Gaming, which they swept to get T1's fourth LoL title.

"Over my professional gaming career, there were many things that improved. One of the biggest improvements is that my mindset changed. I’m happy that I was able to learn more about the reason I play professionally," Faker said at a media day last November.
