KT Rolster has achieved a remarkable feat. The Korean team triumphed over the tournament favorites Gen.G, continuing their astonishing journey at the League of Legends World Championship 2025.
After enduring years of disappointment and near misses, KT has finally made history by reaching the Worlds finals for the first time ever in the organization’s existence.
The initial match set a chaotic pace for the series, with KT Rolster securing victory thanks to impressive performances from Bdd and Deokdam. Both sides found it challenging to exert dominance, as the momentum fluctuated throughout the game. Gen.G claimed the follow-up match, with Ruler showcasing his skill on Ezreal. They adopted a slow and strategic approach, asserting their control during the late game as is customary in the LCK.
Responding vigorously, KT Rolster showcased impeccable coordination in the third match. They adeptly used objectives as bait to lure Gen.G into engagements, executing their game plan flawlessly. In the concluding game, KT Rolster demonstrated their drafting expertise once more, employing innovative off-meta selections alongside precise macro strategies and confident team fights to overpower Gen.G.
Despite Gen.G’s previous dominance in the LCK, where they secured multiple international titles this year, they fell short at the crucial juncture. Even during the 2025 LCK season playoffs, KT Rolster managed to defeat Gen.G, pushing them into the lower brackets. This trend continued as KT Rolster made history on the big stage.
In a heartfelt post-match interview, an emotional Bdd struggled to contain his tears. «Even now, it feels like I’m still dreaming,» he expressed. «I’m feeling somewhat dizzy; this is so unreal. I’m incredibly happy, but it doesn’t feel real to me yet.»
With their place in the finals secured, KT Rolster now awaits their next opponent, who will be either T1 or Top Esports, set to compete in the semifinals tomorrow.
