T1's Peyz records 13th pentakill

Kim “Peyz” Su-hwan became the sole all-time leader in professional League of Legends pentakills on May 13 after recording his 13th in T1’s LCK match against Nongshim RedForce. Sheep Esports reported the milestone after Peyz secured the five-kill sequence on Ashe in Game 1, his first recorded professional pentakill on that champion. The outlet said the mark moved him ahead of Park “Ruler” Jae-hyuk, Chen “GALA” Wei and Anıl “HolyPhoenix” Işık, who had each been tied with him on 12. Riot’s LoL Esports site lists Peyz on T1’s active roster for the 2026 season. ### How was the record set? May 13 was the date Sheep Esports identified as the day Peyz moved into first place alone in the career ranking. Its report said the pentakill came against Nongshim RedForce and that Ashe was the champion used for the record-setting play. The same report said Peyz had previously been tied with three other players at 12. (sheepesports.com) Leaguepedia’s statistics page also lists a pentakill for Peyz on May 13, 2026, in Korea’s LCK competition. That entry records the game as a win and shows Ashe as the champion. ### Who did Peyz pass on the all-time list? Sheep Esports named Ruler, GALA and HolyPhoenix as the three players Peyz moved ahead of with the 13th pentakill. Before May 13, the outlet said, all four had been tied on 12. (sheepesports.com) Leaguepedia’s Peyz page now describes him as “the player with the most recorded number of pentakills in professional play,” and lists his total at 13. (lol.fandom.com) That gives a second published record point supporting the change at the top of the ranking. ### What does the record say about where those pentakills came from? Sheep Esports reported that Peyz has now posted pentakills with every team he has played for: Gen.G, JD Gaming and T1. (sheepesports.com) The outlet’s breakdown says nine came with Gen.G, two with JD Gaming and two with T1. The same report said Kai’Sa remains Peyz’s most productive pentakill champion with five, followed by Zeri with two. (lol.fandom.com) Ashe, Ezreal, Varus, Smolder, Kalista and Xayah were each listed with one. ### How unusual is this for a 20-year-old player? Leaguepedia lists Peyz’s birth date as Dec. 5, 2005, making him 20 years old. (sheepesports.com) Sheep Esports said he reached the standalone record at that age, while its report also noted his MSI 2024 finals pentakill and said only one other player, Jang “Ghost” Yong-jun, had recorded a pentakill in an MSI final. Games of Legends, a statistics database, lists Peyz with a 65.3% career win rate across 559 games and shows him as a high-volume damage dealer over his career. That database page, however, still displayed nine pentakills when crawled, suggesting some third-party stat pages had not yet fully updated to reflect the latest total. (sheepesports.com) ### What comes next for Peyz and T1? Riot’s LoL Esports schedule page lists T1’s next match as a May 16 meeting with Gen.G. Sheep Esports also pointed to that matchup, calling it T1’s next marquee test after the Nongshim series. Sheep Esports said T1 stood fourth in the LCK standings at 9-4 after the Nongshim win. The next chance for Peyz to add to the record, based on Riot’s published schedule, is the Gen.G series on Saturday, May 16. (gol.gg) (sheepesports.com) (lolesports.com)
