T1: five world titles and the longest career in esports

T1 — SK Telecom T1 until 2019 — have won more world championships than any other organisation, and one player appears on every single one of them. The name change is the detail that catches people out most often in line-up rounds: the same team is listed as SK Telecom T1 up to 2019 and T1 from 2020.

Their five titles span eleven years, which no other roster in any esport comes close to matching.

Two dynasties, one player

The first dynasty was built on Bengi's jungle control and Faker's solo-lane dominance, with Bang and Wolf forming the bot lane for the 2015 and 2016 titles. It ended with the 2017 final, a reverse sweep by Samsung Galaxy that is still the most painful result in the organisation's history.

The second arrived after a rebuild around academy graduates. Zeus, Oner, Gumayusi and Keria were all developed internally, and the 2023 and 2024 titles came with an unchanged five — the first back-to-back Worlds wins since Faker's own 2015 and 2016 run.

Reading a T1 round

Because Faker appears on every T1 roster from 2013 onward, his name identifies the team but never the year. The bot lane does: Piglet means 2013, Bang and Wolf mean 2015–2018, Gumayusi and Keria mean 2021 onwards. The organisation name gives you the decade for free.
