The final day of the 2026 "League of Legends" (LOL) World Championship Top 4 Knockout Tournament kicked off today (9th). South Korea's T1 faced off against China's BLG for the last championship ticket. As a result, T1 was defeated by BLG 3:1. Faker (Lee Sang Hyuk), known as the greatest player in the history of global e-sports, was determined to miss the 7th championship. He has not won the World Championship BO5 (Best of) for 13 consecutive years. 5, best-of-five games), the unbeaten myth of losing to the Chinese team was broken. At the same time, Huang Renxun, CEO of Huida, admitted to having an extramarital affair. A photo of him and Faker meeting each other about six months ago has now been uncovered and has been hotly debated. Some netizens ridiculed the two of them as "both lost at the hands of China...".

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. In 2024 and 2025, Faker led the team to win two more world championships, achieving an unprecedented three consecutive championships and becoming a six-time champion. This year T1 still made it to the top four. They wanted to reach the top again, but they lost to BLG in the battle for championship tickets, ending this year's World Championship journey ahead of schedule.

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). Chinese fans also dubbed Faker "the strictest father in the LPL (China Division)." Although the myth has come to an end, being able to maintain a BO5 victory over a single region at the highest level of the World Championship for 13 years is an unprecedented and unprecedented e-sports legend.

On the same day, it was revealed that Huang Jen-Hsun sent an internal letter admitting to having an extramarital affair with a Chinese woman who was suspected of being a spy. Someone found a photo of Faker and Huang Jen-Hsun meeting each other at the T1 Esports Arena in Seoul in June this year. At that time, the meeting was hailed as a "double" by a large number of e-sports fans. "The Gods of the Century are in the same frame", and now they are ridiculed by some bitter people for "falling off the altar", "The common point is that they were defeated at the hands of China", "The two most divine fathers died together", "One defrauded me of the money I put in the stock market, and the other defrauded me of the money I put in the sports lottery."

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."
