T1 Secures Historic Three-Peat at League of Legends Worlds 2025
In one of the most electrifying finals in League of Legends history, T1 has completed their legendary three-peat, defeating KT Rolster 3-2 in the 2025 Worlds Grand Final. With this victory, T1 not only claimed their sixth World Championship trophy, but also solidified their dominance in the Telecom War, a rivalry that has defined South Korean esports for over a decade.

The Legendary Telecom War Ends
For 13 years, the Telecom War has been the ultimate symbol of pride between SK Telecom’s T1 and KT Corporation’s KT Rolster. Both teams have been staples of the LoL esports scene, but only one has consistently stood at the top. Out of 70 total encounters across tournaments, T1 has claimed victory in 53, maintaining a commanding lead that only grew stronger after this Worlds Final.
While both teams entered Worlds 2025 as LCK’s lowest seeds, few expected either to make it this far. Yet, through determination and raw talent, they turned the stage in Chengdu, China, into one of the most dramatic finals in recent memory.
KT’s Perfect Start Meets T1’s Relentless Drive
KT Rolster began their run in top form. They dominated the Group Stage undefeated, showcasing crisp coordination and confident teamfighting. Their momentum continued into the Knockout Stage, where they swept CTBC Flying Oyster 3-0 and overcame Gen.G Esports 3-1, earning their long-awaited shot at Worlds glory.
Standing in their way, however, was T1, led by none other than Faker, LoL’s first Hall of Legends inductee and now five-time World Champion.
T1’s own journey was far from smooth. They barely survived the Group Stage with a 3-2 record, facing elimination multiple times. But when it mattered most, they found their rhythm, defeating Anyone’s Legend 3-2 and sweeping Top Esports 3-0. The victory set the stage for an epic final and a chance to make LoL history with three consecutive world titles.
The Grand Final: A Clash for the Ages
The Grand Final began with KT coming out strong, controlling the early map and threatening to snowball. But T1, known for their late-game composure, turned two critical teamfights to snatch victory in Game 1.
Game 2 swung the other way, as KT’s bdd delivered a standout performance on Milio, tying up the score. Then in Game 3, Cuzz’s Mundo proved unstoppable, shredding through T1’s front line and putting KT just one win away from the championship.
But T1’s resilience is what defines them. Game 4 saw a masterclass in control from Oner, whose perfect Smite steals secured every neutral objective. With Faker’s Anivia freezing KT’s advances, T1 forced a deciding Game 5.
For the final showdown, T1 drafted an aggressive Galio and Camille combo, setting up explosive engage plays that KT struggled to handle. Despite a few tense moments, T1 maintained their composure, closed out the match, and claimed their sixth Worlds title, a record that may never be broken.

Gumayushi: “I Finally Proved Myself to Myself”
When Uzi, the 2025 Hall of Legends inductee, handed the Worlds MVP Award to Gumayushi, the crowd roared. The T1 ADC had been instrumental all tournament long, delivering world-class performances under pressure.
“This year was very difficult for me,” Gumayushi said during the post-match interview. “Every year I had to prove myself, but this time was different. I finally feel like I proved who I am, not to others, but to myself. I can say for sure that I’m the best AD Carry in the world.”
His words captured not just his personal triumph, but T1’s enduring spirit. The same drive that has kept them boosting through every challenge, season after season, to stay on top of the League of Legends world.
A Legacy That Defines LoL Esports
With their back-to-back-to-back Worlds victories, T1 has cemented themselves as the greatest dynasty in LoL history. From Faker’s strategic brilliance to Gumayushi’s consistency, the team’s journey has been one of growth, resilience, and adaptation, the true marks of champions.
As the dust settles in Chengdu, one thing is certain: T1’s dominance isn’t just about the trophies. It’s about the message they send, that with the right mindset, teamwork, and relentless pursuit of excellence, you can boost your way to the very top, no matter how fierce the competition.
And as 2026 approaches, every team will be looking to rank up and challenge the kings once again. But for now, the Summoner’s Cup belongs to T1, and the world bows to the undisputed legends of League of Legends.
