The Semifinal Showdown
Next weekend, South Korea becomes the stage for the impending semifinals. On one side, Weibo will clash with BLG, and on the other, JD Gaming faces the stalwart T1. As the lone torchbearer for Korea, T1’s victory over LNG in the quarterfinals has not just guaranteed them a spot in the top four but has also served to magnify Faker’s illustrious presence at Worlds. This is attributed to the extraordinary statistic that the “Demon King” has achieved with this latest advance.

Faker’s Impeccable Quarterfinal Record
Remarkably, throughout his career, Faker has never missed a top-four finish in any World Championship he has participated in. This means the core midlaner has triumphed in every quarterfinal series he’s played, and this year’s tournament is no exception. Donning the T1 jersey, Faker has been an undeniable force across eight Worlds Championships. Starting with his debut and subsequent victory in 2013, he has since hoisted the trophy in 2015 and 2016. And although his last Worlds win dates back to 2016, he has impressively managed to compete in two finals (2017 and 2022) and three additional semifinals (2019, 2021, and 2023).
