Best Teams at League of Legends Worlds 2025
Gen.G
Gen.G stands as the clear tournament favorite heading into Worlds 2025. The team dominated the LCK while also claiming the MSI title earlier this year. Their roster features five players who can each carry games individually, earning them recognition as one of the greatest lineups in competitive history. The team holds the record for the longest win streak ever recorded in professional play.
Current Swiss Stage results show Gen.G at 2-1 after wins over T1 and PSG Talon, though they dropped a match to Anyone's Legend. Despite this loss, their overall strength remains unmatched. The roster's individual talent combined with strong team execution makes them the favorites to win everything. Anything less than a championship would disappoint given their dominant year.
Hanwha Life Esports
Hanwha Life Esports brought in Zeus at the start of 2025. They swept through the First Stand without dropping a match, defeating winter champions from other regions. The team remained competitive throughout the LCK season, though they couldn't overcome Gen.G in the finals.
Currently sitting at 2-1 in the Swiss Stage with wins over PSG Talon, and 100 Thieves, HLE looks strong. The team's main goal involves overcoming their Gen.G problem while securing Zeus a third straight title. Peanut aims for his first world championship before retirement, adding extra motivation for the roster.
BiliBili Gaming
Since 2023 their worst Worlds result remains a semifinals finish, showing consistent performance at the highest level. The team kept their core roster but rotated through junglers across different splits, giving them a six-man lineup heading into the tournament.
Swiss Stage performance shows a 1-2 performance, which honestly looks like a shaky start. Knight continues his pursuit of a first major title while trying to end the LPL's recent championship drought.
T1
T1 enters as the fourth LCK seed after struggling domestically throughout 2025. The organization's history speaks for itself with five world championships, including the last two consecutive titles. Nobody would surprise if they claimed a third straight championship despite their lower seeding.
The team fought through Play-Ins with a 3-1 victory over Invictus Gaming to reach the main event. T1's ability to perform when the stakes are highest makes them dangerous regardless of regular season struggles.
Who Will Win League of Legends Worlds 2025?
Gen.G enters as the favorite to win Worlds 2025 based on their dominant performance throughout the year. The team claimed both the LCK championship and MSI title while setting records for the longest win streak in competitive history. Hanwha Life Esports poses the biggest threat to Gen.G's championship run. If HLE can overcome this mental block and find answers to Gen.G's strategies, they have the talent to win the championship.
T1 cannot be counted out despite entering as the fourth LCK seed. They've proven throughout their history that regular-season struggles don't predict playoff performance. T1 thrives under pressure and finds ways to win when it matters most.
The Fearless draft format adds another variable that could favor teams with deeper champion pools and better adaptability. Expect Gen.G to lift the Summoner's Cup, but don't be shocked if one of the top LCK or LPL contenders pulls off the championship run.
