Keria passes Faker, 1,022 to 1,020: Worlds' assist record changes hands

Worlds has a new all-time leader in assists. The twist is that the previous holder and new leader play for the same team, T1. The official LCK video below is the full Swiss Stage Day 4 broadcast, not a standalone edit of Keria's record.

T1 defeated CTBC Flying Oyster (CFO) 1–0 on October 26 in tournament-local reporting. Keria registered ten assists and Faker eight. They had been tied at 1,012 following the DK match; the CFO game took them to 1,022 and 1,020 respectively. It was Keria's 100th Worlds game.

The chase was visible before the record fell. After the LOS game on October 24, Faker led just 1,008 to 1,007. A Reddit discussion asked two different questions: how remarkable is a support catching a legendary teammate, and how comparable are assist totals across support and mid-lane roles? The October 26 result added a new number to that debate.

The documented reactions predate the record itself. In an October 24 Reddit thread, users praised Keria as an all-time great support, argued that supports naturally rack up more assists and per-game ratios deserve attention, and joked about Faker trying to claim assists himself. Those comments are not presented as post-October-26 reactions or a representative survey.

Kills and assists illuminate different parts of a team game. A support's role can lead to higher assist totals, yet overtaking a teammate's long-standing Worlds record is a story in itself. The statistic alone cannot rank two players' overall careers.

At the end of the October 26 CFO match, Worlds career totals stood at Keria 1,022 and Faker 1,020. These are Worlds totals, not LCK league or MSI statistics. Korean reporting also identifies it as Keria's 100th Worlds game. Future matches can change both totals and rankings. We did not independently watch every minute of the official broadcast; the statistics are attributed to match reporting.

Watch how the career totals move in T1's next Worlds appearances. The 1,022–1,020 figure is a snapshot, not a guaranteed end-of-tournament ranking.
