KT Rolster Stuns Gen.G to Reach Worlds 2025 Grand Final
The League of Legends World Championship 2025 has just given us another incredible storyline — and this time, it’s KT Rolster’s turn to shine. Against all expectations, KT defeated Gen.G 3-1 in the semifinals, punching their ticket to the grand final in Chengdu. What looked like an impossible dream at the start of the tournament has now become a historic reality.
For KT, this run has been nothing short of remarkable. Coming in as the LCK’s third seed, many doubted their ability to survive against tournament giants. But match after match, they’ve proven that teamwork, discipline, and resilience can outshine raw star power. After an undefeated Swiss Stage and a dominant 3-0 sweep over CTBC Flying Oyster in the quarterfinals, KT carried that momentum straight into their toughest challenge yet — Gen.G, the reigning LCK and MSI champions.
The series started in thrilling fashion, with KT taking the first game after an intense 47-minute battle. Gen.G hit back in Game 2, showing flashes of their usual dominance, but from that point forward, KT seemed unstoppable. They crushed Gen.G in Games 3 and 4, sealing the series with calm, calculated play that left no doubt about who deserved to move on.

Much of the spotlight fell on KT’s midlaner, Gwak “Bdd” Bo-sung, who delivered a career-defining performance. His mastery on champions like Azir, Yone, and Cassiopeia earned him the first perfect 10/10 rating of the entire tournament — something Sheep Esports hadn’t awarded in two years. Facing Chovy, widely considered the best midlaner in the world, Bdd completely outclassed him, proving once again why experience and composure can win championships.
Around him, KT’s entire roster clicked beautifully. Rookie toplaner Lee “PerfecT” Seung-min held firm against the world’s best in Kiin, while jungler Moon “Cuzz” Woo-chan played fearlessly, setting the pace for KT’s aggression. On the bottom side, Seo “deokdam” Dae-gil and Jeong “Peter” Yoon-su were electric — their synergy, especially in crucial late-game fights, was the foundation of KT’s success.
For Gen.G, the defeat is a painful continuation of an all-too-familiar story. Another dominant season, another early exit before the final. Despite strong starts and big early-game leads, the team once again faltered under pressure. Ruler, Chovy, Canyon, and the rest of the squad just couldn’t sustain their momentum against KT’s relentless adaptability.
KT Rolster’s victory now sets up a mouthwatering grand final on November 9 in Chengdu, where they’ll face the winner between T1 and Top Esports. The stakes? A $1 million prize and the ultimate glory in League of Legends esports.
From breaking their quarterfinal curse to making history as one of the LCK’s most inspiring stories since DRX in 2022, KT Rolster’s Worlds 2025 run has already become legendary. And if they can carry this form into the final, there’s every chance this Cinderella story ends with them lifting the Summoner’s Cup.
