KT Rolster of LCK (Korea) beat Gen.G and reached the final of the LOL World Cup for the first time since its foundation.
KT beat Gen. G, the No. 1 seed of LCK and one of the strongest candidates, 3-1 in the semifinals of the '2025 League of Legends World Championship" (Lold Cup) held at Mercedes-Benz Arena in Shanghai, China on the 1st. KT, who played in the LOL World Cup as the third seed in LCK, was the first to advance to the knockout stage after winning all three games in the Swiss stage (round of 16), and also shut down LCP (Asia-Pacific) hostile CFO 3-0 in the quarterfinals, already breaking expectations.
He then defeated Gen.G 3-1 and is not satisfied with advancing to the semifinals and finals for the first time since its foundation, and is likely to run to the championship. KT is showing its disappointment in the LCK regular league on the international stage by showing outstanding new and old harmony, centering on the team's center, Kwak Bo-sung, veteran, and Moon Woo-chan, and Lee Seung-min, 'Peter', Jung Yoon-soo, and 'Deokdam'Seo Dae-gil.
KT will try to win the semifinal winner of LCK's T1 and LPL (China) last runner, TES, and the final match at Lake Sports Park Multipurpose Gymnasium during Chengdu, China on the 9th.
Meanwhile, the defending champion of the LOL World Cup, T1, who passed the Swiss stage with 3 wins and 2 losses, has advanced to the semifinals with a tremendous background of beating AL, LPL's strong favorite, 3-2 in the quarterfinals held at the same place on the 30th of last month. If he wins the semifinal match against TES on the 2nd, a rival match between telecommunications companies against KT will be held at the LOL World Cup for the first time in history. T1 will try to win its third consecutive LOL World Cup title in this tournament, and LCK will build a golden tower to win its 10th LOL World Cup title ever, no matter which team wins.
