KT Rolster Shatter Expectations to Reach Worlds 2025 Finals For the First Time

by

KT Rolster achieved a stunning victory over Gen.G at the League of Legends World Championship in Shanghai. This marks a significant milestone for KT Rolster, as they defeated one of the tournament’s top contenders to advance.

Gen.G’s surprising defeat eliminates them from the tournament in fourth place. This comes just weeks after a hugely successful period where they won the 2025 Mid-Season Invitational, the Esports World Cup, and the LCK 2025 season.

Gen.G Fails to Make Finals Yet Again

Gen.G hasn’t reached the finals of the League of Legends World Championship in eight years. Their best result in that time was third place in 2021, which was the closest they’ve come to winning the championship.

Gen.G fought hard, but KT Rolster ultimately won their recent match. Gen.G had just come off a dominant 3-0 victory against CTBC Flying Oyster, but couldn’t overcome KT Rolster in a closely contested best-of-five series.

The team has made it to the Grand Final and will compete against either T1 or Top Esports. It’s set to be a historic match, particularly because T1 often performs exceptionally well at the World Championship.

Throughout its history in League of Legends, KT Rolster hasn’t had much success, and they’ve consistently underperformed at the last three World Championships, leaving fans disappointed. Even if they don’t win the upcoming final on November 9th, reaching that stage will still be a massive achievement for the organization, earning them $800,000 – the largest prize they’ve ever received.

Honestly, I’m curious to hear what everyone thinks about KT Rolster. Do they have what it takes to actually challenge T1, who are looking super strong right now? I’m heading over to the TopMob Discord to see what other players are saying – you should join the discussion too!
