T1, led by Faker, returned to the top of the LOL World Championship in 2023 and won the championship again after 7 years, winning his fourth championship and writing a new chapter in the legend.

After the results of the game came out, Chinese netizens were excited, because since Faker participated in the World Series for the first time in 2013, he had never lost to a Chinese team in the BO5 of the World Series, setting a terrifying record of 13 wins and 0 losses (meaning 13 consecutive years).

However, more fans said bluntly, "Please don't put losing the game and having an affair together", "Faker is not dead, he has won 6 championships", "There are always wins and losses in the game", "Huang Renxun chose it himself, Faker's teammates were chosen by his boss How are they the same?", "Faker just lost the game but not his character, okay?", "Faker just tried his best today, and even when he lost, he remained humble and blessed his opponent. The top four were treated like roadblocks by you, and were compared to cheaters. It's ridiculous."
