Search for how many Worlds Faker has won and you get a number fast, but the details are scattered: which years, against whom, what he has won outside Worlds and how long he is signed with T1.
This page collects only the public record of Faker (Lee Sang-hyeok) in League of Legends esports, checked against Riot announcements and established outlets, as of November 3, 2026.
You will find every Worlds final he won, his MSI, LCK and Asian Games results, his place in Riot's Hall of Legends, the length of his T1 contract, and where T1 stands at Worlds 2026, which is being played in the United States this year with the final at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
There are no rumors or personal details here. Once the final ends on November 14, we will update the title count. At the end there is a short routine for watching a pro match and then reviewing a recording of your own solo queue game against it.
Faker's titles at a glance: six Worlds, two MSI, ten LCK
The short answer is six. Faker won his first world title in 2013, his debut year, with SK Telecom T1, then won back to back in 2015 and 2016.
His team lost the final in 2017 (0-3 to Samsung Galaxy in Beijing) and 2022 (2-3 to DRX in San Francisco), but in 2023 Faker won in Seoul and became the first player to win four World Championships.
Titles in London in 2024 and Chengdu in 2025 took the count to six, and the 2025 win made T1 the first team to win Worlds three years in a row. Counting the losses, Faker has played in eight Worlds finals: 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025.
Outside Worlds he adds two Mid-Season Invitational titles (2016 and 2017) and ten LCK titles between Summer 2013 and Spring 2022. So if someone asks how many Worlds Faker has won, the answer is six.
If they mean international trophies in general, it is six Worlds, two MSI titles and two Asian Games gold medals. Worlds 2026 is still being played, so this number can change after the November 14 final.

Watch Worlds, then review your own game: a five step routine
- 1Pick one thing to watchWhile watching a Worlds match, choose a single point to compare, such as CS at 15 minutes, the first recall timing or the mid laner's first roam. Watching for everything at once leaves you without a clear benchmark for your own game.
- 2Play a solo queue game with DOR runningWith DOR installed, it detects League of Legends when you launch it and records the whole match automatically. You do not need to press a record button, so you can just play as usual.
- 3Find the same moment in My ClipsAfter the game, the full recording and automatic clips for kills, multikills and objectives land in My Clips. Use those clips as bookmarks to jump straight to the stretch you picked.
- 4Compare it side by sideWrite one line each for CS, ward placement and pathing at the same timestamp. What to look for and how to take notes is in our guide to VOD reviewing your League games.
- 5Keep one goal for the next gameTake just one difference and make it your goal for the next match. How to carry those goals from game to game is covered in how to get better at League of Legends.
Record your own League games automatically with DOR
DOR is a free game recorder for Windows. When you launch League of Legends it detects the game, records the whole match and saves kills, multikills and objectives as separate highlight clips in My Clips. For a teamfight or a pentakill clip you want to save, trim the moment in the app to 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1.
In DOR Studio (dor.gg/studio) you can merge clips, add text or music, then export an mp4 or share a dor.gg link that plays right in a phone browser.
In League, replay and spectator recording are on by default in the per mode recording settings, so playing back one of your replays in the client gets recorded too. Replay files stop working once the next patch arrives, so a video is the safer way to keep a game you want to rewatch. The free plan records at up to 1080p and 60fps.
