T1 Mid Laner Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok is T1's mid laner and the most decorated player in League of Legends history. His 2026 setup runs on the Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro Faker Edition at 1600 DPI with 65/65 client sliders — the same mouse shape he has used across multiple world titles.
As of September 2026, Faker plays League of Legends at 1600 mouse DPI with an in-client mouse speed of 65 and a camera-move speed of 65 (both on the client's 0–100 slider) at 1920×1080. He uses the Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro Faker Edition — his own signature shape — on a Razer Gigantus V2 pad.
Faker's numbers are unmatched because his career has no gap between eras. He was a world champion as a 17-year-old rookie in 2013, again at the peak of the SKT dynasty in 2015 and 2016, and again at 28–30 leading rebuilt T1 rosters to three straight titles in 2023, 2024 and 2025.
League of Legends has no FPS-style sensitivity: the client exposes a 0–100 cursor-speed slider plus a separate camera-move slider, and Faker sets both to 65. At 1600 DPI that makes his cursor fast but his camera pan at a deliberate mid-tempo — a hover-and-click macro profile rather than a shooter's flick aim, and the reason so many mid laners copy this pairing.
A League of Legends client exposes far fewer performance knobs than a shooter: a cursor-speed slider and a camera-move slider (both listed under Mouse & sensitivity above), plus graphics presets that mostly change how teamfights look rather than how they feel. Only 1920×1080 appears in Faker's published settings sheet — he has not shared quality presets, and at the pro level the gap between tiers is a matter of taste, not competitive integrity.
A 280 Hz overclockable IPS panel is a common sight at LoL events — high refresh smooths cursor tracking and camera pans, and 1080p keeps frame times low through five-man teamfights. Faker has run the TUF VG279QM in T1's competitive setup; it is a mid-size esports monitor, not a flagship, matching his preference for consistency over spec-sheet maximums.
Razer's lightweight flagship ergonomic — ~63 g, Focus Pro 30K sensor — re-released in a black-and-gold Faker signature edition. The DeathAdder's palm-grip hump is a classic LoL shape: it suits the relaxed claw/palm hand position mid laners hold while hovering over ability keys far more than a symmetrical FPS mouse would.
Peripherals change more often than settings. Where trackers disagree, both values are listed rather than picking one.
The stat that captures Faker's 2026 standing is longevity at the top, not a single rating: in 2025 he became the first player to reach 1,000 LCK games, and he holds the records for the first to 3,000 LCK kills and 5,000 assists. At the World Championship he is the all-time leader in kills and assists, and the first player to 100 tournament wins.

Faker is not the mechanical outlier of any single year — he is the most complete, most durable mid laner the game has produced. Early in his career he was defined by aggressive assassins and lane outplays (the Zed versus Ryu duel, the LeBlanc split-pushes); as he aged he reinvented himself as the calm, teamfight-first anchor who lets younger, flashier T1 cores carry. The through-line is decision quality under pressure: he almost never makes the wrong play in a series-defining moment.
Faker is usually compared with the era-defining mid laners who came after him — Chovy and ShowMaker, the two Koreans many rate as the best pure mechanics of the modern game. The comparison shows how un-flashy his numbers actually are.
Chovy and ShowMaker are often rated ahead of Faker on raw mechanics or solo-lane pressure in their primes, yet neither owns a fraction of his résumé. The point of the table is that Faker's settings look ordinary — the gap is never the mouse.
You cannot copy Faker's play, but you can copy the habits that outlasted talent: practice the fundamentals he still drills and the discipline that let him win at 30.
His verified snapshot (September 2026): 1600 mouse DPI, an in-client mouse speed of 65 on the 0–100 slider, a camera-move speed of 65, and 1920×1080 resolution. He plays on the Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro Faker Edition.
Faker uses 1600 DPI on his mouse. Combined with his in-client cursor speed of 65 that gives a fast but controlled cursor — high enough to click quickly across a busy teamfight, low enough to stay accurate on skill-shot dodges.
Faker sets the in-client mouse-speed slider to 65 out of 100, and matches his camera-move speed to the same 65. That symmetry keeps cursor and camera at the same tempo, which many control-mage mains prefer.

League of Legends is not a flick-aim shooter; mid laners hold a relaxed palm or claw position while hovering over spell keys. The DeathAdder's ergonomic hump fits that posture far better than a symmetrical FPS mouse, which is why so many LoL pros use similar shapes.
Faker runs 1920×1080 on an ASUS TUF Gaming VG279QM — a 27-inch Fast IPS panel with a 240 Hz refresh (overclockable to 280 Hz) and 1 ms response, the kind of high-refresh mid-size monitor common at LoL events.
A Razer setup for the most part: DeathAdder V3 Pro Faker Edition mouse, Huntsman V3 Pro keyboard, BlackShark V2 Pro headset and a Gigantus V2 mousepad, with an ASUS TUF monitor and a Secretlab × T1 chair.
Faker has several. LeBlanc is the assassin that announced him in 2013, Azir is the modern-era masterclass (his soldier micro is the benchmark), Orianna is the safe teamfight control-mage that won him a 2023 World skin, and Ryze and Syndra anchored the 2015–2016 dynasty.
One per title, plus an unprecedented double: Orianna (Season 13, 2023), then in 2024 Riot gave him two skins — Yone and a Prestige Sylas — to mark back-to-back titles, the first player ever to receive two on one roster. His 2025 three-peat skin was Galio.
Faker's 2026 pool still leans on the control mages and assassins that made him: LeBlanc for the solo-carry threat, Azir for the teamfight set-up, Orianna for the safe shockwave, plus Ryze and Syndra from the 2015–2016 dynasty. In recent seasons he has also played utility and engage mid picks — Galio, Anivia and mid-lane Ornn — to hand the carry role to T1's younger lanes.
Six — 2013, 2015, 2016, 2023, 2024 and 2025 — the most of any player. The 2023–2025 run is also the first-ever three-peat in the game's history.
Because he combines the most World titles (six), a record ten domestic LCK crowns, two Worlds Finals MVPs, all-time international kill/assist records, and a thirteen-season one-club career at the top — a résumé no other LoL player approaches.
Faker was born on May 7, 1996, making him 30 during the 2026 season. He remains T1's mid laner and captain and is still competing at the top level, re-signed on a long-term deal.
The Hall of Legends is Riot Games' all-time-greats honour for League of Legends. Faker was named its inaugural inductee on May 22, 2024 for being the most successful and longest-reigning player in the game's history.
South Korea requires military service of able-bodied men, but elite professional athletes and entertainers can receive exemptions or deferred arrangements; Faker has continued playing and had his service status handled under Korean law's provisions rather than interrupting his career.
When Faker re-signed with T1 for three years in 2021 it was widely reported as the largest contract in League of Legends history, reportedly in the several-million-dollars-per-year range, plus signature-hardware and skin royalties from Razer and Riot — but exact figures are private.
It is the strongest case in the game rather than a settled fact. Six Worlds titles, ten LCK crowns and a thirteen-year peak are unmatched, but Chovy and ShowMaker were often rated ahead on raw mechanics in their primes, so the debate usually rests on whether you value résumé or peak playmaking.
Being the first player to reach 1,000 LCK games (in 2025, at 667 wins) on top of being the first to 3,000 LCK kills and 5,000 assists — records that measure not peak skill but the consistency to stay elite for over a decade.
