The Korean player’s new contract also gives him part-ownership of the organization, effectively ensuring he will stay with T1 even after he decides to retire.
“I am honored to become a part-owner of T1 and look forward to working with the leadership team beyond my playing career. I love this team and am proud to help mold the future of this organization,” said Faker.
Faker has been with the organization for seven years, winning the World Championship with them in 2013, 2015, and 2016.

Alter Ego stunned RRQ Hoshi in week 2 of MPL ID Season 5, taking down the league leaders in dominant fashion with a 2-0 sweep.
Game one ended in 12 minutes, with a 13-6 kill score, thanks largely to Alter Ego’s star midlaner, Eldhin “Celiboy” Putra, who carried his team with a perfect 4/0/5 KDA.
Game two was closer, but Alter Ego would not be denied the series victory, finishing off RRQ in just under 14 minutes, with a 12-10 kill score. While RRQ tried to stop Celiboy, he could not be contained, and finished with another stellar 7/1/1 performance.
Alter Ego move up to fourth place with a 2-2 record, while RRQ Hoshi fall to second at 3-1.

In the best of one match, Misfits Jungler, Iván “Razork” Martín Díaz, had a phenomenal game, making play after play on Ekko, finishing with an outstanding 8/2/6 KDA.
On the other hand, G2’s Rasmus “Caps” Winther struggled throughout, finishing with a dismal 0/9/4 KDA in the bot-lane.
With an outrageous 60,000 gold lead, Misfits finished the game in just under 30 minutes and move into joint first place with a 6-2 record.
