League of Legends Legend Faker Collects 5,000th Assist in LCK
Faker, the undisputed GOAT of League of Legends, has once again made history in the LCK. On April 7, he achieved his 5,000th assist, becoming the first player in the Korean league to reach this milestone.
In game two of the LCK spring playoff series against Dplus KIA, Faker accomplished this remarkable feat while playing his signature champion, Azir. Throughout his career, he has played over 150 games with Azir, making him quite familiar with the champion’s abilities and playstyle. For the series against Dplus KIA, Faker utilized Azir in games two and three to help T1 secure a clean sweep and advance to the next round of the playoffs.
Faker’s Unmatched Assist Record
Among LCK players, only five others have reached the 4,000-assist mark. However, Faker’s exceptional performance places him far ahead of his competitors. He boasts nearly 500 more assists than Lehends, the player in second place on the all-time rankings.
Impressive Milestones and Continued Success
Faker’s long and successful career has allowed him to accomplish several remarkable milestones. In addition to his 5,000 assists, he has also achieved 600 wins and 3,000 kills, cementing his status as one of the greatest players in LCK history.
Despite Faker’s incredible record, his teammate Keria is closing in on his assist count. In just four full LCK seasons, Keria has already accumulated 4,140 assists. If he continues at his current pace, he may surpass Faker on the all-time assist leaderboard in the coming years.
Upcoming Challenges and Prospects
Faker and Keria will have another opportunity to add to their assist counts as the LCK Spring playoffs continue. T1 is set to face off against Hanwha Life Esports in the lower bracket final. The winner of this match will earn a spot in the grand final against Gen.G.
