On the afternoon of November 1 in Shanghai, the first semi-final of the 2025 World Championship for League of Legends took place between two Korean teams, Gen.G and KT. Gen.G has an all-star lineup, dubbed the “Super Team” with top players in their positions. Chovy is still the brightest star. He is still on the way to finding the first Worlds title in his career despite his excellent performances over the years.

On the other side of the battle line, KT came to CKTG with a squad that was not highly rated. Each position of this representative did not maintain stability throughout the season. They were also just assembled at the beginning of the year. In which, Perfect and Peter were still in the early years of their careers, with almost no international experience. Being able to win a ticket to CKTG was considered a miracle for the organization. KT's only capital was a win against Gen.G in the Korean qualifiers not long ago. That performance was also their passport to China.

However, the developments in the 4 matches in Shanghai overwhelmed fans and experts. KT showed that they were a team with better form and preparation than their opponents. Right from the first match, the 3rd-ranked Korean team made a sudden pick and ban, causing surprise with Yone in the mid lane. In each set, the organization's coaching staff always had moves ahead of Gen.G. In the match, the 5 KT members also showed high form, overwhelming their opponents in the same lane. BDD in the mid lane was still a reputable stopper, not only did he play well but also overwhelmed Chovy, the player who is currently considered to have the best skills in the world .

In the end, KT defeated the top seed of Korea with a score of 3:1. Thereby, they became the first representative to come to Chengdu, where the final match of CKTG 2025 will take place. Their opponent will be decided tomorrow, when Faker's T1 faces the host TES. The Korean representative is highly appreciated. But with the unpredictable developments of CKTG this year, surprises can still easily happen when the strong teams have all left the tournament one by one. Currently, there are no top seeds of any region left. KT and TES are the third seeds, while T1 took the wild card of Korea.

The 2025 League of Legends World Championship takes place from October 14 to November 9 in Beijing, Shanghai and Chengdu, China. This is the third time the billion-people country has hosted this event after 2017 and 2020. T1 is the current world champion for two consecutive years.
