Faker shattered the record during their recent match against LEC teamFnatic. Faker played Sylas and bagged six kills, putting his Worlds kill count to 353 by the end of the game.
The LoL veteran was able to pad out his record on the day, bringing it up to a total of 360 after facing off againstCloud9andEdward Gaming.
While Faker now sits on the throne for most Worlds kills, it’s important to note that Uzi set the previous record in fewer and shorter appearances.
The AD carry has only played in six Worlds tournaments and went all the way to the grand final twice. His last run in 2019 with Royal Never Give Up was cut short in the Group Stage. Faker however, is on his seventh Worlds run this year and has gone to the grand final four times.
Clocking in almost a decade of pro play, Faker continues to shine internationally. Just a few days ago, he became the first player toplay 100 games on the Worlds stage.
