Throughout the tournament, Inspired from the LCS and Faker from the LCK have been consistent in all their matches. As two fan favourites entering the tournament, it isn’t surprising that these two would come out on top, but the high quality plays they displayed throughout the tournament cemented their 2022 legacy as two of the strongest players on the international stage.

Both players had also made appearances at MSI 2022 and Worlds 2022, achieving success in their respective regions and already had a large fanbase. For Inspired this included winning summer LEC 2021 and LCS 2022 MVP award. While it isn’t yet known where he will be playing for the 2023 season, fans will be excited to follow his next move and see him return to the international stage.
