Hylissang currently holds an unfortunate record in Worlds history, but Faker may soon surpass it

Fnatic’s Disappointing Performance in League of Legends Worlds 2022

Fnatic, the third seed from LEC, has experienced a rapid downfall in the 2022 League of Legends World Championship. Initially considered a strong contender for the knockout stage, the team lost three consecutive games, ultimately exiting the tournament. This unexpected turn of events has left fans disappointed.

Hylissang Breaks Record for Most Deaths in Worlds

Fnatic’s veteran support player, Hylissang, now holds the record for the most collective deaths in Worlds history. Across his five Worlds appearances, he has accumulated 217 deaths, surpassing the previous record set by Perkz. Hylissang’s playstyle, characterized by selflessness and aggressive initiation, often leads him to dive into the enemy team, even at the risk of dying in the process. However, lately, he has been caught out of position more frequently or has made poorly timed engages, contributing to his high death count.

Faker Nears Death Record at Worlds

There is one player who may soon surpass Hylissang’s record. T1’s legendary mid laner, Faker, is just four deaths away from claiming the title for himself. Faker’s numerous appearances at Worlds and consistent qualification for the knockout stage have resulted in a higher number of deaths, as he plays more games than those who exit the tournament earlier.

Statistical Records vs. Legacy

While the focus may shift towards death counts, it is crucial to remember Faker’s outstanding career achievements. With eight LCK championships, two Mid-Season Invitational trophies, and three Summoner’s Cups, Faker is widely regarded as the greatest of all time in League of Legends. Despite the record-breaking deaths, his legacy remains intact. Fans can look forward to watching Faker and T1 in the upcoming knockout stage.
