LoL – Worlds 2025: T1 Claim Sixth Title in Historic Telecom War
At the Dong'an Lake Sports Park, before a crowd of 18,000, T1 and their captain Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok secured the 2025 Worlds championship by defeating KT Rolster 3–2 in the final.
This victory concluded the greatest Telecom War in League of Legends history, marking T1’s return to the top with their sixth world championship.
A Historic Three-Peat Achievement
T1 triumphed in the fifth Worlds final ever to reach a Game 5, and notably, the first played under fearless mode. This win solidifies their dominance in League of Legends.
They became the first team in the game’s history to achieve a three-peat, having previously won the Summoner’s Cup in 2023 and 2024.
Overcoming Past Defeat
The elusive back-to-back-to-back championship had slipped from SK Telecom T1 (T1’s former name) in 2017, when they lost 0–3 to Samsung Galaxy led by Park “Ruler” Jae-hyuk.
“History always seems to bend in the same direction as Faker in LoL — and that wrong has now been made right.”
The Generation of Miracles
The new chapter of T1’s legacy centers on Faker and the "generation of miracles" surrounding him. Key players like Mun "Oner" Hyeon-jun, Lee "Gumayusi" Min-hyeong, and Ryu "Keria" Min-seok have joined an elite group, becoming three-time Worlds winners.
These players belong to a legendary breed within the game as they all enter the very closed circle of the three-time Worlds winner.
Summary
T1’s 2025 Worlds victory cements their status as the first League of Legends team to achieve a historic three-peat, led by Faker and a new generation of exceptional talent.
