Top Esports triumphed over G2 Esports with a convincing 3-1 score at the 2025 League of Legends World Championship, eliminating the European squad and leaving only the Chinese and Korean teams competing for the coveted Summoner’s Cup.

### G2’s Journey in Worlds 2025

G2 commenced their World Championship journey with a defeat against Top Esports but quickly rallied, achieving victories against teams like FlyQuest to secure a place in the Knockouts. However, they encountered Top Esports once again in a best-of-five series, where they ultimately fell short.

### Series Overview

The series kicked off with a commanding display from Creme’s Akali, leading Top Esports to a straightforward victory in the opening game. G2 responded promptly in the subsequent match, utilizing inventive and unorthodox champions like Dr. Mundo and Lucian to level the series. However, Top Esports’ strategy centered on poke damage, featuring 369’s renowned Aatrox, which enabled them to dominate nearly every skirmish and push the series to match point.

In a bid to regain momentum, G2 attempted to revert to their unpredictable tactics, deploying Hans Sama’s established Draven pick. Nevertheless, Top Esports managed to decelerate the game’s tempo effectively, keeping G2 contained. Once the Chinese team hit their power thresholds, they capitalized on objectives and ultimately ousted G2 from the tournament.

### Reflections from G2

Despite notable moments from Caps, G2’s hallmark ingenuity fell short against the steady and strategic approach of Top Esports. In a post-match discussion, G2’s rookie jungler Skewmond expressed feeling outmatched by Top Esports, admitting to a lack of decisiveness. He noted that aside from the fourth game, the draft phases were challenging to navigate.

### Next Steps for Top Esports

Top Esports will contend against the victor of the match between T1 and Anybody’s Legend on October 31, 2025, as they advance to the semifinals of the Worlds.
