The Best of All-Time: The Story of T1 LoL

There is no other esports team in the world like T1.

To wear a T1 uniform is to feel the weight of an unmatched competitive legacy.

And, since 2013, it's meant playing alongside the man who would become the game’s greatest ever.

But despite that success, it hasn’t always been easy to cheer for T1. Because when their era ended… it crashed to a halt.

It’s true that no team can win forever. But for T1 and Faker, the question was for how much longer they could lose. And in 2021, fans were given a glimpse at a new dawn.

And so the greatest dynasty in League of Legends did something else that no esports team had done – they managed an astonishing rebuild with the greatest player ever as their foundation.

The carry that inspired an entire generation of players became a mentor, leading a new class of prospects to glory.

With the greatest dynasty ever behind them, it’s up to Faker and T1 to forge an even brighter future. Faker and T1 set the benchmark for everyone including themselves, but the question now is can they reach it once more?

This is the Story of T1 League of Legends.

If Faker wins Worlds and retired. No one would complain. He did the impossible and he is the Face of the game

[jagonz]

It took them 2 years, but the promising lineup has finally won Worlds.

[dianealcantara]

I'll cry out loud if T1 wins the Worlds this year. It would be so emotional for T1 fans especially for Faker.

[mehcha_]

I’ve never played LoL, but I’ve heard about how amazing these guys are the game, and they are a force to be reckoned with. I mean you have Tyler1 and Faker

[eyzhie]

“They had the pieces, but only needed time.” Tell this to the T1 fans please.

Through ups and downs of this team, the solid fan of this team has a rollercoaster ride ever since 2013, and i know faker is thanking you for how are u faithful for him and to his team and now they are terrorizing MSI, what a time to be a T1 fanboy ever since

[ade]

It's definitely insane how much the organization has accomplished. 3 Worlds, 2 MSIs, 1 All Star, 10 OGN/LCK titles. We'll see just how far T1 can go this year after their 20-0 spring.

[dasered]

"Building something that stands the test of time is the very definition of a dynasty" - One of the best sentence to describe T1 LoL

[Boromir]

This T1 is such a fantastic roster and I hope they go to win MSI and worlds this year 🔥

[nosepuede]

I've been a fan of T1 since 2015, when I started to play the game, and no matter the results, the losses and the sad moments, no one can deny that T1 is the best org when it comes to LoL and Faker is the Greatest player to have ever played this game.

I'm so glad one of theScore members is such a huge t1 fan he puts out so many of these well produced faker/t1 videos, cheers!

[justine]

This video is kind of rush. 2021 was a rollercoaster for T1 fans who support the team from 10 man experiment on Spring to semifinals finish at Worlds. 2021 T1 roster is not born overnight.

[ThuLetter]

The only reason I still watching lol because I need to have to see Faker raise the Worlds Championship once more. With me, he is my youth, after so many years, although up and down, his desire to lol is the same.

[Drayn_]

1 year later, I am coming back to this video. After 7 years since their last Worlds win, 10 years since they hoisted their first Worlds trophy, *FAKER AND T1 WON THEIR 4th WORLDS CHAMPIONSHIP* ❤️.

[clayaeschliman]

Came here after today's victory. Best team in League of Legends history !

[TheSuperirX]

A joy to think about it every time.
I get goosebumps when i see all the old clips.
This defined my time as a teenager and still does.

What a Legacy he has build.
What a mental strengh he must have.
Idol. Faker.

[joeyastig]

2:13 You can just imagine the sigh of relief over Ryu's face when he saw that they didn't play THAT clip on this one.

[MrLPWatcher]

That was a perfect combination of entertainment and information! Thank you very much for this documentary! :)

[pug]

Back here in 2023 after seeing them win it all! 🙌

Not only can you commend Faker's skills in LoL, you also have to admit that this is one mentally tough guy. I can't imagine having a whole team depending mostly on you, the fans who give their full support each split, and also the pressure you put on yourself as the esteemed best player of all time.
