T1 Peyz becomes League’s youngest all-time Pentakill leader with 13 career pentas

Kim “Peyz” Su-hwan added another historic achievement to his growing legacy after securing his record-breaking 13th career Pentakill during T1’s match against Nongshim RedForce at the LCK Rounds 1-2, 2026.

The milestone officially makes the 20-year-old the all-time leader for most pentakills in professional League of Legends history.

The T1 ADC now stands alone atop the all-time leaderboard, surpassing GALA, Ruler, and HolyPhoenix, who each hold 12 career pentakills. At just 20 years old, Peyz has already overtaken veterans with far longer careers, further cementing his status as one of League’s most dominant bot laners.

The record-breaking pentakill against NS came on Ashe, marking the eighth unique champion that Peyz has earned a pentakill with in his career. While most of his pentakills (5) have come on Kai’Sa, this was already his second pentakill as a T1 player, following his earlier one in the Kespa Cup with the squad. 

After the match, Faker was asked in an interview whether T1 intentionally tries to funnel pentakills toward Peyz during games. The veteran mid laner dismissed the idea, instead praising Peyz’s consistency and positioning in teamfights. 

“Rather than intentionally giving him pentakills, if you survive fights well and keep dealing damage, pentakills naturally happen often,” Faker said. “Since he keeps dealing damage really well, I think that’s why those scenes happen a lot.”

Faker’s comment reflects the confidence T1 has in Peyz’s ability to carry extended fights, with the ADC continuing to build a reputation for clean late-game executions and reliable damage output.

Pentakills remain one of the rarest accomplishments in professional League, reaching 13 career pentakills at only 20 years old, further showing how quickly Peyz has established himself among the greatest ADC talents in the game’s history.

With years still left ahead in his career, Peyz now has the chance to push the record even higher while continuing his strong run with T1.
