Faker achieves his 900th assist in the World Championship.

In the League of Legends World Championship, T1's mid-laner Faker made history once again. He picked Taliyah against AL, leading his team to victory and achieving his 900th assist in the World Championship. This record not only demonstrates his individual skill but also reflects his consistent performance and team value on the top stage over the years.  

Faker became the first player in Worlds history to surpass 900 assists, further solidifying his status as the "greatest player in League of Legends history." Since his debut on the world stage in 2013, he has weathered countless version updates and era changes, consistently remaining a pillar of strength at the top. This milestone achievement once again demonstrates his extraordinary professional resilience and astonishing competitive endurance.  

Assists are more than just numbers; they're a comprehensive reflection of a player's strategic awareness, teamwork, and understanding of the game. Faker's ability to consistently accumulate assists at the World Championship stems from his pivotal role in team fights. Whether it's Taliyah's agile roaming, Azir's perfect split-pushing, or Lissandra's precise initiation, Faker always finds the most appropriate way to support his teammates and create opportunities for victory. This subtle influence often proves more decisive than kills.  

Looking back on Faker's professional journey, from the rising star who first appeared on the global stage in S3 in 2013 to the legendary veteran who still stands at the top after twelve years, he has long transcended his personal identity, becoming a symbol of T1 and an indelible milestone in the history of League of Legends esports. Every appearance and every record is the best testament to his professional spirit.  

In post-match interviews and on social media, both T1 fans and players from other teams expressed their sincere respect for Faker. Some called him "the most enduring flame in esports history," while others exclaimed, "Because of Faker, the World Championship feels like an epic that continues to be written." When a player can earn everyone's respect, he has already transcended victory or defeat itself.  

Reaching 900 assists is just the beginning. As T1 continues their fight in this year's World Championship, Faker still has the opportunity to rewrite his own records. Regardless of whether he ultimately lifts the championship trophy again, this milestone will be remembered. It belongs not only to Faker but also to all the players and viewers who have witnessed his legendary journey.
