LoL World Championship 2025 : Games Breakdown
Game 1
T1 Keeps It Cool First game, IG’s Rookie on Ryze was kind of everywhere, making plays all over. But T1? They just kept their heads, played it chill, and waited for their moment. TheShy tried a wild dive that totally flopped, and suddenly T1 took over. Just classic T1 stuff—wait it out, then strike when it counts.
Game 2
IG’s Not Done Yet IG bounced right back in game two. They went in hard—great teamfights, smart moves, GALA looking sharp on Caitlyn, and Orianna doing serious work. They dragged the game out, and after a super long 37 minutes, they evened it up. Faker’s Akali was scary, but in the end, IG just outplayed them late game.
Game 3
Oner Turns Up Then Oner showed up big time. Third game, he picked Xin Zhao and just ran the show. Early pressure, smart calls, and suddenly IG was scrambling. T1 looked totally on point, and it was pretty much a clean win.
Game 4
Oner Wraps It Up Last game, Oner goes Nocturne—yeah, that’s his jam. He kept showing up out of nowhere and shutting IG down. Faker and Gumayusi had his back, and the team fights were beautiful. T1 closed it out smoothly, and just like that, IG’s Worlds run was over.
Highlights
No debate, Oner was the MVP. He was everywhere, making plays, knowing exactly where to be. Xin Zhao, Nocturne—didn’t matter, he was just on fire. T1’s whole style—aggressive but under control—Oner was the perfect example.
