The player is still playing but has achievements close to Faker's
In the League of Legends world, if we have to mention the players with the most titles, the first name to be ranked must be Faker. Not only in terms of individual achievements, Faker also dominates the collective achievements, but the most glorious and greatest is 10 LCK championships as well as 4 times winning the World Championship as well as 2 times dominating MSI and being the only team from the LCK to win this tournament more than once. It can be said that Faker's greatness has far surpassed the rest. However, in the LCK title category, a surprising name has almost as many titles as Faker.
That is Hanwha Life Esports player – Peanut when the Jungler born in 1998 is the player with the second most LCK championship titles after Faker, with 7 times winning the championship in this tournament. Especially, at the age of 26 and possibly still having the opportunity to continue playing for a long time, Peanut can completely equal Faker's achievements, in case T1 does not win any more LCK titles in the future. The most recent championship of “Little Bean” was when he and HLE defeated his old team Gen.G.
There is still a long way to go for Peanut to catch up with Faker.
However, in Peanut's case, he is still only close to Faker in domestic achievements and perhaps lost to Faker by 1 MSI cup. And if looking at his entire career, Peanut has not won any CKTG championship titles. The last time Peanut had a clear chance to win CKTG, he and his teammates performed very poorly and finally stopped at the Semifinals (2022 season).
At the upcoming CKTG 2024, Peanut's HLE is once again considered the No. 1 seed after unexpectedly winning the championship against Gen.G. This is another opportunity but also a challenge for Peanut, especially in the 2023 season, he even had to stop at the Quarterfinals despite being considered a championship candidate. If he cannot succeed this time, perhaps the LCK championships will only be a consolation.
