As of November 1, 2025, the 'LoL World Championship 2025,' captivating League of Legends fans worldwide, is underway in China with intense excitement. In particular, T1, the champions of 2023 and 2024, has demonstrated overwhelming performance in this tournament, securing their place in the semifinals and moving one step closer to an unprecedented three consecutive championships. We will take a detailed look at the synergy of the newly formed 'DOFGK' roster (Doran, Oner, Faker, Gumayusi, Keria), centered around the 'Immortal Mid Laner' Faker, and analyze the obstacles they have overcome on their journey to victory.
T1 has faced a challenging path at the 2025 Worlds. They had to fight through tough competition from the Swiss stage, and on October 16th, they recorded a one-sided defeat against CTBC Flying Oyster, causing concern among fans. However, T1 quickly regrouped and showed resilience by defeating Invictus Gaming, advancing through the Swiss stage to the knockout stage. The 'Fearless Draft' format, introduced for the first time this year, has brought significant changes to teams' ban-picking strategies, and T1 has also demonstrated excellent adaptability to it, overcoming important hurdles. This proves that T1 is a team with a deep understanding of strategy, going beyond the sum of individual skills.
The match that confirmed T1's advance to the semifinals was the quarterfinals against Anyone's Legend. T1 secured their ticket to the semi-finals by overwhelming Anyone's Legend with their superior performance. Top laner Doran perfectly filled the void left by Zeus, becoming a strong pillar of the team. Oner's sharp ganking and the solid bottom lane play of Gumayusi and Keria played a decisive role in the team's victory. 'Faker' anchored the team with his seasoned gameplay and outstanding positioning in team fights, once again reminding everyone why he is called a 'legend.'
Before the 2025 season, T1 built a new roster, 'DOFGK,' with Doran joining the team after top laner Zeus left. While expectations and concerns coexisted among fans about the changes, Doran has successfully integrated into the team through this Worlds, showing both excellent carrying ability and stability. Oner, Gumayusi, and Keria, as core members of the 2024 World Championship-winning team, are also demonstrating their unchanged skills, and their strong teamwork is becoming the driving force behind T1's resilience in crisis situations. In particular, under Faker's leadership, the strengths of each player are maximized, and the team is highly regarded as having become even stronger.
With T1 advancing to the semifinals, their goal is now clear: to achieve an unprecedented record of three consecutive Worlds championships. It is known that Top Esports (TES), KT Rolster, and Gen.G have advanced to the semifinals along with T1, and all of them are strong contenders for the championship. In particular, Top Esports will be a tough opponent as they defeated G2 Esports. T1 will need to carefully analyze the strategies of the opposing teams in the remaining matches and showcase even more flexible and unpredictable ban-picking in the Fearless Draft environment. In addition, managing the players' condition and maintaining concentration in the long tournament is crucial.
