The new professional season of League of Legends is starting slowly, and the first tournament will take place in South Korea until December 14. T1, who have already become world champions 6 times, are participating with their new ADC, who has set a record once again.
What happened at the tournament? The KeSPA Cup 2025 is currently ongoing, and many teams are showing their new roster for the 2026 season.
T1’s new ADC Peyz is showing whether he belongs to the best team in League of Legends and has quickly set a record for the most pentakills by an active player. Pentakill is the term used when a player takes down all five opponents in a short period.
With a total of 12 pentakills, he tops the list from lol.fandom.com. This is especially impressive because Peyz has only been a professional LoL player for 4 years. Even before the young ADC joined T1, he had already broken two records held by Faker.
Faker is at the other end of the list
How many pentakills has Faker achieved so far? According to the list on the LoL Wiki, Faker has only achieved two pentakills in his career. He has been active since 2013, and made his first pentakill in 2015.
He only managed to get the second one 10 years later, in 2025. If this pace continues, Faker could break Peyz’s record in his retirement. This, of course, assumes that Peyz does not achieve a single pentakill during this time.
How is the tournament going for T1 otherwise? T1 is still in the race, and it’s about the top three spots. The winner will receive 60 million Korean Wons, which is approximately 35,000 Euros.
Currently, T1 has won six out of their eight games and has a good chance of emerging victorious. Especially for Peyz, this would be a nice victory, proving that he is good enough for the best team in LoL (lol.fandom.com).
Before it was announced that Peyz would be the new ADC for T1, there were already some rumors. The Twitch streamer Tolkin wasn’t very convinced about the young ADC at that time and stated that he was not good enough and would be a downgrade for T1: Twitch streamer Tolkin criticizes the possible new player for the best team in LoL: “I don’t think he is good enough”
