Details of Faker’s Second Pentakill

On May 8, 2025, Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok, a revered professional League of Legends player, achieved his second pentakill during a match against DRX in the LCK 2025 Season. This was a significant highlight of Faker’s career, which has spanned over 12 years. This accomplishment occurred while he was using Ahri, a game character. His performance led to a decisive 2-0 win for T1, his team.

Significance of the Pentakill

The second pentakill is especially notable given its rarity in Faker’s extensive career. Prior to this match, he had only managed a single official pentakill. This first pentakill was recorded while he was playing as LeBlanc, a moment that fans remember as legendary. It’s worth noting another remarkable moment occurred on April 10, 2025, when Faker played his 1,000th LCK game with a victory against KT Rolster.

In his long career, Faker has established several records. Here are a few key achievements:

• First LCK player to hit 1,000, 2,000, and 3,000 kills as well as 5,000 assists
• Holder of the most LCK titles, with ten wins to his name
• Inducted as the first player into the League of Legends Hall of Legends in 2024
• Displaying loyalty to one organization, T1, since the start of his professional career in 2013
