T1's Faker Secures Historic Third Straight Worlds Title in Thrilling 2025 Victory
In a nail-biting finale to the 2025 League of Legends World Championship, T1, led by the legendary Faker, defeated KT Rolster 3-2 in an epic best-of-five series. This victory marks T1’s unprecedented third consecutive global championship, solidifying their position as a dominant force in esports.
Game 1: T1’s Mid-Game Comeback Secures Early Lead
KT Rolster took the early advantage by claiming First Blood at the river and securing the initial Dragon along with three Voidgrubs. They built a gold lead through effective ganks and won a second Dragon skirmish followed by Herald. However, between 15 and 20 minutes during the third Dragon contest, T1 turned the tide with a decisive team fight win.
Keria’s Poppy played a crucial role by initiating fights and dealing significant damage, which allowed Faker’s Taliyah to snowball and gain control over Baron and another Dragon. T1 then secured a second Baron, broke through KT’s defenses, and closed out the game decisively, demonstrating their ability to reverse KT’s early aggression.

Game 2: KT’s Patient Scaling Overwhelms T1
KT began strongly by securing First Blood on Gumayusi at the bottom lane, followed by winning a mid-lane 2-for-1 fight, which gave them a 2,000 gold lead. Capitalizing on a failed top lane gank by T1, KT destroyed a turret and claimed Herald. Although T1 managed to win a team fight, KT responded by acing T1, enabling Atakhan and dragon control.
Summary
T1’s win over KT Rolster in the 2025 Worlds final highlights their remarkable resilience and tactical brilliance, underscoring their unprecedented run of three consecutive global titles.
