 Will Faker retire after the League of Legends Worlds 2023 finals? We try to answer you in this article.

Rumors surrounding the retirement of legendary League of Legends (LoL) player Faker shook the community before, during, and soon after the 2023 World Championships. Considered one of the best players in the game's history, Faker has been the midlaner of Team T1 (formerly SKT T1) since 2013. 

An injury later, soon another trophy in his pocket, and a track record that places him as the undisputed goat of League of Legends, does Faker plan to retire soon? We tell you everything.

Is Faker retiring after the LoL Worlds 2023? 

Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok, known as Faker, has been an iconic figure in eSports since his debut in 2013. With an impressive track record including multiple world titles and outstanding performances on the international stage, Faker has contributed to write League of Legends history. His impact on the game goes beyond his individual skills, embodying the spirit of competition, and excellence, and who was there at the beginning of it all and will be there at the end of it all.

Speculation about Faker's retirement began circulating shortly after news of his injury and surgery broke. Remember, a few months ago, in July 2023, Faker revealed that he was suffering terribly from his arm. Although the tests were encouraging, we know that injuries like this tend to be tough and come back. 

In September 2023, he revealed that he was doing better and that for the moment "he no longer needed treatment.". After unveiling incredible performances against JDG and LNG, the team seems to be at a level it has rarely been before. So there are two options. Leave now in top form with, perhaps, an extra trophy, or continue to destroy the stage and establish your name as a legend.

For his part, Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok has repeated in numerous interviews:

As long as I could, I would play LoL.

We can therefore estimate that he will continue for many years, as long as his arm does not cause him pain and he continues to display performances like what he displayed during the 2023 League of Legends Worlds with his team. always, T1. He has also re-signed until 2025 with this same team.

For the moment, no news on his potential retirement, but still in top form, we hope for him that he will manage to recover this fourth star on his jersey and much more in the future!
