T1's Peyz reaches 14 pentakills

Kim “Peyz” Su-hwan’s latest pentakill matters because it extends a record he had only just taken for himself a week earlier. Sheep Esports said on May 19 that the T1 bot laner had reached 14 career pentakills in competitive League of Legends, making him the first player to that mark. (sheepesports.com) The number is notable on its own, but the timing is what makes the update stand out. Sheep Esports had reported on May 13 that Peyz became the all-time leader with his 13th career pentakill, breaking a tie at 12 with Park “Ruler” Jae-hyuk, Chen “GALA” Wei and Anıl “HolyPhoenix” Işık. (sheepesports.com) (lolesports.com) At 20, Peyz is piling up a statistic that usually takes years of high-volume carry play, favorable game states and enough team coordination to funnel the final kills. In League of Legends terms, a pentakill means one player secures all five kills in a teamfight sequence. Sheep Esports’ May 19 post packaged the milestone as another record extension rather than a first breakthrough, because the first breakthrough had come seven days earlier. (sheepesports.com) ### How fast did this record move? May 13 is the key date in the timeline. Sheep Esports reported that Peyz’s 13th pentakill came against Nongshim RedForce on Ashe in LCK play, his first pentakill on that champion. (sheepesports.com) That result moved him ahead of the previous group tied at 12. May 19 is the second key date. The Sheep Esports Brasil X account then said Peyz had reached 14 career pentakills, meaning he broke his own record within a week. The social post also described him as the first player in League of Legends history to hit 14. (sheepesports.com) ### Why is Peyz the player attached to this stat? Peyz has been an elite AD carry since his Gen.G debut and is now T1’s starting bot laner. Leaguepedia lists him as born on Dec. 5, 2005, making him 20, and identifies him as T1’s current bot laner. Liquipedia’s record page shows he joined T1 after stints with Gen.G and JD Gaming. (sheepesports.com) Sheep Esports’ earlier record story also showed how wide the pentakill spread is across his career. By May 13, Peyz had logged pentakills with every team he had played for — Gen.G, JD Gaming and T1 — with Kai’Sa his most common pentakill champion. (sheepesports.com) ### What does the record list look like behind him? The May 13 Sheep Esports report said Peyz had moved past a three-way tie at 12 with Ruler, GALA and HolyPhoenix. That is the clearest verified comparison point for the all-time list in the current reporting. (lol.fandom.com) Leaguepedia’s player page, which had already been updated after the May 13 match, listed Peyz as the player with the most recorded pentakills in professional play at 13. The May 19 Sheep Esports post then pushed that benchmark to 14. Taken together, those sources show the record moving in real time over the course of one LCK week. (sheepesports.com) ### What has Peyz said about the pentakill record? Peyz addressed the record in a Sheep Esports interview published after T1’s win over Gen.G. In that interview, he said, “I’ll keep getting pentakills so I can stay at the top,” tying the stat directly to his own competitive ambition. (sheepesports.com) The same interview framed the moment as part of a broader run of form. Sheep Esports said Peyz dealt more than 90,000 damage on Caitlyn in Game 2 against Gen.G and later took player-of-the-match honors. (lol.fandom.com) ### Where can readers watch what comes next? May 20 is T1’s next listed LCK date on the official LoL Esports schedule, which shows T1 facing Kiwoom DRX in Week 8. The live LCK page also listed T1 vs. KRX among the day’s matches. For readers following the record itself, Sheep Esports’ May 19 X post is the published marker for the 14th pentakill, while LoL Esports carries T1’s upcoming schedule and match stream listings.
