Panalobet/News/T1 have done it again. After five nerve-wracking games against KT Rolster, the legendary team claimed the 2025 League of Legends World Championship title in Chengdu, China — marking their sixth world trophy and completing an incredible three-peat.
The 3–2 victory was more than just another trophy. It was a powerful comeback story — one that erased every doubt about T1’s hunger, and proved that their champion DNA is still alive and unstoppable.
From Fourth Seed to World Champions
This Worlds run was unlike any other for T1. Entering the tournament as LCK’s fourth seed, after a rough domestic year with no titles, the team had to start all the way from the Play-In Stage — a spot usually reserved for long-shot underdogs.
But T1 took that challenge personally. Step by step, they climbed from the bottom, defeating every regional champion that stood in their way. By the time they reached the finals, no one doubted it anymore: T1 were back to reclaim their throne.
With this victory, T1 now hold six world titles (2013, 2015, 2016, 2023, 2024, and 2025) — more than any team in League of Legends history.
A Grand Final Full of Drama
The Worlds 2025 Final was everything fans hoped for — and more. T1 struck first blood with a clean win in Game 1, but KT Rolster quickly answered back, taking two games in a row. Suddenly, T1 found themselves down 1–2, and the pressure was on.
But if there’s one thing the world knows about T1, it’s that they never crumble. Backed by years of experience and nerves of steel, the team fought their way back to even the series 2–2.
In the final, deciding game, both teams threw everything they had into the Rift. When KT’s mid-laner Bdd finally fell in the last fight, the entire arena erupted — T1 had done it. The score: 3–2. Another championship secured. Another moment for the history books.
Doran and Gumayusi: Redemption Complete
This win was especially meaningful for two players who had faced enormous pressure all year — Doran and Gumayusi.
Doran, the new top laner who joined T1 this season, had the impossible task of replacing former superstar Zeus. Critics questioned his consistency, his confidence, and whether he could handle the big stage. But under the bright lights of Chengdu, Doran stood tall. Even after a few early mistakes, he stayed calm in the late game and proved he belonged among the best.
For Gumayusi, the redemption arc was even sweeter. Once criticized for shaky performances and questionable champion picks, the T1 marksman finally delivered the series of his life. Dominant, confident, and precise, he led the offense and was later named Finals MVP.
From doubt to glory — both players showed exactly why T1 trusted them.
The Core That Holds It All Together
Of course, the backbone of this dynasty remains as solid as ever. Oner and Keria, T1’s jungle-support duo, once again showed their world-class synergy — controlling vision, protecting carries, and turning every fight in their favor.
And then there’s Faker — the legend, the captain, the eternal face of League of Legends. Already the first player to enter Riot’s Hall of Legends, Faker added yet another Summoner’s Cup to his collection — six in total now.
At 29, he continues to defy time and expectations. His leadership and calm presence were the glue that kept T1 together during every tough moment. Watching him lift the trophy once again was not just a victory — it was history being written all over again.
The Meaning Behind the Three-Peat
Winning three World Championships in a row is something no other team in LoL history has achieved. For T1, this three-peat is more than just dominance — it’s proof of resilience, adaptation, and belief.
The meta keeps changing, teams rise and fall every season, but T1’s identity stays strong. They don’t just adapt to the game — they define it. Every member knows their role, trusts each other, and performs when it matters most.
For fans, this was not just another title. It was a statement: the dynasty isn’t fading. It’s evolving.
The Underdog Story of a Champion
Ironically, this was the hardest path to victory in T1’s entire history. Starting from the Play-In Stage, playing more matches than any other top team, T1 had to fight through every possible obstacle — unfamiliar metas, fatigue, and endless expectations.
Yet, this long road made the final moment even more emotional. From “fourth seed” to “world champion,” T1 reminded the world why they are the greatest team to ever touch the game.
Their story shows that talent alone doesn’t make a champion — belief does. And belief has always been T1’s true meta.
Faker’s Legacy: The King Still Reigns
Every great story needs its hero, and T1’s is still Faker.
Thirteen years into his professional career, the “Unkillable Demon King” continues to inspire fans around the world. His mechanical brilliance may no longer be his only weapon — his leadership and ability to uplift teammates are now his greatest strengths.
As the first inductee into the Hall of Legends, Faker’s name is already immortal. But every new victory keeps adding to a legacy that feels almost mythical. Six world titles. Countless finals. And a fanbase that grows with every passing year.
What’s Next for T1?
After rewriting history with a three-peat, everyone’s asking the same question: Can T1 do it again?
If history has taught us anything, it’s that T1 never stop chasing perfection. With their current roster, unmatched experience, and a hunger that refuses to fade, there’s every reason to believe they’ll stay at the top.
New challengers will rise, metas will shift, but the spirit of T1 — discipline, teamwork, and heart — remains the same.
Conclusion: The Dynasty Lives On
From a shaky start in the Play-Ins to the top of the world once again, T1’s 2025 run will go down as one of the greatest comebacks in League of Legends history.
It’s more than just a championship. It’s a symbol of belief, teamwork, and legacy — the essence of what T1 has represented for more than a decade.
When the dust settled in Chengdu, one truth was clear:
T1 aren’t just champions.
They are legends reborn.
