T1's 3-0 sweep of Weibo Gaming at Worlds 2024 was a statement. Faker at 28 is still mechanically sharper than players a decade younger, and his mental game is unmatched. Five World Championships is a record that may genuinely never be broken in any esport. At this point the conversation isn't "is Faker the best LoL player" — it's "is Faker the greatest competitive gamer in history".

The sweep was more convincing than the scoreline suggests. T1 looked like a completely different team from groups — disciplined, objective-focused and reading the game ahead of their opponents. Zeus and Gumayusi finally stepped up on the big stage after years of inconsistency. This was Faker's most dominant Worlds performance since 2015 and he's 28 years old.
