So, Worlds 2025 is kicking off with 17 teams battling it out for the title. It was a bit sad to see Invictus Gaming get knocked out first on October 14th – that brought the number of teams still in the Swiss Stage down to 16. Hopefully, my team can make it further!

League of Legends World Championship 2025 Predictions

All eyes are on T1 Gaming as they enter the League of Legends World Championship. As the defending champions and home to Faker – widely considered the greatest League of Legends player ever – they’re a team to watch. Faker led them to a historic win last year, and they have a strong chance of winning the championship again this time around.

Following T1 is Gen.G, the highest-ranked team from Korea, who qualified for the League of Legends World Championship after a very strong performance in the summer season and regional qualifiers. Chovy, a long-time rival of Faker, is prepared to compete at Worlds in China.

G2 Esports continues to be the top pick among European League of Legends fans as the region’s strongest contender for the World Championship title.
