In front of 18,000 spectators at the Dong’an Lake Sports Park, T1 and their captain Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok won the 2025 Worlds by crushing KT Rolster in the final (3–2). The greatest Telecom War in history ended in a logical coronation for T1, once again reaching the summit and earning their sixth world championship title.
After winning the fifth Worlds final ever to go to a Game 5 — and the first under fearless mode, T1 further solidify their dominance over League of Legends. And this time, they became the first team in history to achieve an impressive three-peat, having already lifted the Summoner’s Cup in 2023 and 2024.
Even though T1 entered as heavy favorites thanks to their history with the tournament — four consecutive finals, two-time defending champions backed by four players from the “generation of miracles” — victory still came through suffering against KT Rolster. Consistently behind in the early game across almost all matches, T1 were given a masterclass in tempo by KT. They never let T1 dictate the early game flow, forcing them into clutch plays. But if there’s one team that thrives under pressure, it’s the reigning triple world champions.
The series began with KT Rolster striking first through strong early-game play, but their momentum faltered in the opening map when T1’s superior teamfighting took over after 18 minutes. KT regrouped in Game 2, dictating the pace throughout and closing only after their composition hit full stride, with Seo “deokdam” Dae-gil’s Ezreal and Gwak “Bdd” Bo-sung’s first-time Mel dazzling to tie the score. Game 3 again favored KT early, yet T1’s resilience showed as their jungle and support, anchored by Dr. Mundo and Alistar, delivered clutch plays that turned the tide in mid-game skirmishes.
From there, T1 never looked back. They dominated Game 4 by reinventing their approach—using Kalista and Anivia to suffocate KT’s tempo and secure every map objective—before sealing the championship in a decisive Game 5. With a Galio, Pantheon, and Camille setup, T1 took control from the outset and never let KT breathe, completing their climb to a historic Worlds victory.
While this victory is clearly a collective achievement, it highlights once again how T1’s approach to Worlds always proves right. Over the past four years, they have reached the grand final every single time—winning it now three times—despite not having captured a single LCK split title during those seasons. Somehow, they always manage to peak exactly when it matters most: at the biggest tournament of the year.
