Faker is the GOAT of League of Legends and is known for multiple champions like Ahri, Orianna or LeBlanc. But there is one champion that could be called his best and you might never guess which one.
Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok is the best League of Legends players in the world. Having played over 10 years professionally, at this point there are multiple champions that players associate with him. LeBlanc, Azir and Orianna are some of his most iconic picks, but are they his best?
Right now, there is one champion that stands above the rest, with an unbeaten streak of 18-games. The last time he lost on this one specific champion was back in 2020. So can we call Corki his best champion?
LoL: Faker Wins 18-Games In A Row On Corki
On January 26, T1 took on KT Rolser for the first telecom war of 2024. While T1 fell behind in game 1, the team rallied back in the second game, with Faker picking one of his most iconic champions and one he's pretty confident in – Corki.
While most fans and players might not be the biggest Corki enthusiasts, Faker plays him like a true chad. The moment he's got items on him, he uses his package and goes in for the kill, engaging and winning fights aggressively.
Corki is a champion that requires a lot of support from teammates, and because my teammates performed well, I was able to achieve 19 consecutive wins. Also, the skin I use is very powerful, so it's unstoppable.
This tactic seems to be working and other Corki players should take note. Faker has not lost on the champion since 2020 and has a win streak of 18 going right now. To put this into perspective, Canna and Effort were still on the team back then.
While Corki seems to be his current best champion, he's definitely not Faker's most played. Looking at the stats on gol.gg, Faker has played 153 Azir games, while Corki is down at 51 games. Still in the top 5 of most played champions, though.
The pick with the highest win rate however is LeBlanc, which is another one of his most iconic picks. So, you've got ample to choose from when considering what Faker's best champion might be. You can decide for yourself.
