LoL – Worlds 2025: T1 Claim Their Sixth Title After Historic Telecom War
In front of 18,000 fans at Dong'an Lake Sports Park, T1, led by their captain Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok, triumphed in the 2025 League of Legends World Championship by defeating KT Rolster 3–2 in a thrilling final.
The match marked the greatest Telecom War in LoL history, culminating in a well-deserved victory for T1, who have now secured their sixth world title.
A Historic Three-Peat
T1 made history by winning their third consecutive Summoner’s Cup in 2023, 2024, and now 2025, becoming the first team ever to achieve such a three-peat.
"For the first time, a League of Legends team has completed a three-peat."
Their back-to-back-to-back championship had eluded them in 2017, when SK Telecom T1 (T1’s former name) lost 0–3 to Samsung Galaxy, led by Park “Ruler” Jae-hyuk. However, Faker’s legacy continues to reshape history in League of Legends, correcting past setbacks.
The Generation of Miracles
The team's success revolves not only around Faker but also the "generation of miracles" surrounding him, including Mun "Oner" Hyeon-jun, Lee "Gumayusi" Min-hyeong, and Ryu "Keria" Min-seok. All members have now joined the exclusive circle of three-time Worlds champions.
"These players belong to a legendary breed within the game as they all enter the very closed circle of the three-time Worlds winner."
T1’s Enduring Dominance
Winning the fifth Worlds final to ever reach a Game 5—and the first under fearless mode—T1 further cemented their dominance in the competitive League of Legends scene.
Their story continues, with new chapters shaped around both their iconic captain and the rising stars that propel the team forward.
