// 01 — THE RUN
A 17-year-old rookie signs with SK Telecom T1 in spring. By the end of the year he's a world champion.
A second Summoner's Cup, and the era that defined an entire region begins in earnest.
The first team ever to defend the world title — with an MSI trophy collected on the way.
A second Mid-Season Invitational title, and a fourth straight run to the Worlds final.
Five years after his last final, he drags a new generation of T1 back to the title match.
Worlds won in Seoul in front of a home crowd — plus South Korea's first Asian Games gold in League of Legends.
A fifth world title at London's O2 — the same year he becomes the first player ever inducted into the Hall of Legends.
A sixth Summoner's Cup — the first three-peat in Worlds history, won at 29 as the oldest champion ever.
