The 2025 League of Legends World Championship (Worlds 2025) has concluded spectacularly: T1 defeated KT Rolster in the Grand Final with a narrow 3–2 victory, securing an unprecedented three-peat.
This not only marks the sixth world championship for mid-lane legend Lee Sang‑hyeok "Faker", but also heralds the official dawn of T1’s “dynasty era”.
T1 Edge Out KT Rolster in Thrilling Finale
In Game 5 of the Grand Final, T1 deployed an aggressive early-game strategy — jungler Moon "Oner" Hyeon‑jun took command of tempo, enabling top-laner Choi "Doran" Hyeon‑joon on Camille to grow steadily and carry. After weathering the opponent’s push, T1 closed out the series.
Doran claimed his first professional world title, while ADC Lee “Gumayusi” Min‑hyeong was awarded Finals MVP for his consistent performance.
Following a gap of eight years since his prior attempt at a three-peat, Faker finally realised his ambition and recaptured the championship.
Presidential Congratulations: “Korea’s Glory Shines On”
South Korean President Lee Jae‑myung issued a message on social media, stating:
“Heartfelt congratulations to T1 on achieving the first-ever three-peat in Worlds history. This will be enshrined in esports history. You have shown the world the name ‘Republic of Korea’ can shine on the global stage—we are immensely proud.”
He also praised the team’s spirit of cooperation and sportsmanship. He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to supporting the growth of esports and cultural industries:
“We will ensure that players can face challenges, continue to pursue their dreams, and maintain their passion.”
President Lee also offered warm encouragement to KT Rolster:
“To the KT Rolster roster who fought until the end and delivered a spectacular match — our applause and support are with you.”
Faker’s Wish Fulfilled & A Dynasty Established
T1 now stands as the first team in League of Legends history to win three consecutive world championships. Meanwhile, Faker’s sixth world title further solidifies his status as a living legend of esports.
With the team’s roster now anchored and the foundation of a dynasty laid, the era ahead promises to be one of dominance.
