Where Is Faker?

One of the biggest names, you will notice, missing from the LCK 2026 Season Awards is Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok. The six-time World Champion may well be the greatest League of Legends player of all time, but his recent form simply wasn't even sharp enough to get him into this year's Third All-LCK team.

The truth is, though, it isn't just a Faker issue; T1 as a whole have struggled throughout the season. The team's bot lane has been a sort of shining light as of late, but T1 hasn't managed to lift a single trophy all year long regardless.

With Worlds 2026 fast approaching, it will be interesting to see whether Faker and the rest of T1 are capable of picking up their form just in the nick of time once more.
