Faker will remain with T1 until the end of 2029.

Legendary mid laner Lee 'Faker' Sang-hyeok has officially signed a new contract with T1, extending his stay until the end of 2029.

The contract extension announcement was posted on T1's official media channels. The organization emphasized Faker's historical importance to them and the entire League of Legends scene. After more than a decade of dedication, this new agreement is a testament to the trust and shared ambition of both parties.

A T1 representative commented:

'Faker will continue his journey with T1 until 2029. Now that Faker has become an icon beyond the confines of League of Legends, T1 is ready to write a new chapter of legend with him.'

Faker's legacy to date is immense. He is a five-time world champion, holds dozens of domestic titles, and has been awarded the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award multiple times. His name has become synonymous with consistency, top-tier skill, and extraordinary resilience in the professional League of Legends scene.

A contract extending until 2029 is a rare occurrence in the professional esports environment, where agreements typically only last for one or two years. This long-term partnership not only demonstrates Faker's irreplaceable iconic status at T1, but also reflects his determination to continue his top-level competitive career for many years to come.
