YES

Resolves to "yes" as soon as Faker wins worlds again (team doesnt matter). Resolves to "no" as soon as Faker retires from professional League of Legends.

10 years after the first one, he still pulls it off 🐐

https://lol.fandom.com/wiki/Faker/Statistics

Based on the statistics shown below and considering his injured wrist, he can no longer win another League of Legends World Championship. Comparing him to Chovy, not only is Chovy more versatile, but he is also much younger than Faker, particularly when it comes to reflexes. Therefore, Faker rarely has a chance to secure another trophy

@Jamie80f9 I agree that Faker won't secure another championship, not only due to his declining statistics such as kills per game, participation in kills, damage per minute, but also because of his age and the physical issues he exhibited entering the World Championship. Moreover, other teams have showcased a better overall performance compared to T1.
Note: However, I cannot be unfair. T1's bot lane is monstrous and almost makes me believe they could be champions. Still, I remain skeptical about the other members of T1. Another factor that leaves everything open is seeing such a young bot lane in such an important final like the World Championship.


predictedNO

Faker is the greatest player in history, but since his last title, his performance has declined significantly. We could blame the meta shift, but his performance in the years following his last victory has fallen well below the average of his entire career in world championships, especially in terms of gold per minute, KDA, and participation in kills.

Faker won three championships in a row after he debuted, but his performance has been declining every year. Although he still works hard and often leads his team to the world championships, I am not optimistic that he can win any world championships before retiring.


If we ignore his recent performance, just based on the previous results. It's 3/9, 33% chance of winning, I would still bet no.

predictedNO

3/9 base rate, with successes mostly in the past. So i would say 10% chance to win each year at best. Giving him three more years of top competition, makes for 27%

predictedYES

@kottsiek sounds about right.
