Faker Lee Sang-hyuk appears like a comet.

Thanks to the war and waiting for our troops, the situation turns around in an instant.

T1, who charged to the main camp with momentum, ended the long fight with a victory.

In the final round of the rolled cup at the O2 Arena in London, England, T1 beat China's BLG with a set score of 3–2.

It is a milestone of winning five times in total.

The prevailing assessment was that T1 would dominate, but he struggled under strong pressure from BLG until the third set.

BLG tightened T1's breath with a strong run in the first and third sets.

However, the atmosphere turned around from the fourth set.

Faker Lee Sang-hyuk cut off the opponent's dealer, creating a favorable battle structure for the team, and from that moment on, the path to victory began to be seen.

T1 brought the atmosphere, and in the last five sets, Faker's performance ensured he won.

This marks T1's second consecutive win with the same starting member, setting an unprecedented record of five LOL World Cup wins.

The match, in which the leading Korean and Chinese players faced off in the final, had more than 6.55 million simultaneous viewers, the highest in the history of the LOL World Cup.
