T1, the South Korean esports organisation, won the 2025 League of Legends World Championship on 9 November 2025. The final was played in Chengdu, China, and T1 beat compatriots KT Rolster to lift the Summoner's Cup.
The victory was T1's third consecutive world title, following wins in 2023 and 2024. No team had previously won three Worlds in a row in the modern era of the tournament. The result also added to the legacy of Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok, the team's long-serving mid laner, who is widely regarded as the greatest player in the game's history.
The win mattered because it made T1 the reigning world champions heading into the 2026 tournament. It set the standard for challengers such as Karmine Corp, the French organisation, and placed extra pressure on T1 to defend a title they had held for three years.
