SKT T1 Won Worlds Again!

League of Legends may have a toxic community, but it is one of the most popular online games in the world, perhaps even the most popular. Especially today, everyone under the age of 30 has heard of this game. This game has worldwide tournaments and is followed by millions of people. Today was the League of Legends world final, and it was an epic series.

SKT T1 faced KT Rolster in the final and managed to win the match 2-3 after falling behind 2-1. I watched the entire final game, and I wish I could play League of Legends that well XD. They calculate and execute everything so perfectly that it's truly impressive. An average viewer might not understand, but someone who's played League of Legends for years knows how challenging it is. The slightest mistake can be punished by your opponent and lead to losing the game. One wrong click, a momentary lapse in concentration, and boom! Your opponent gains an advantage with a minion wave. A few minutes later, it's two minion waves, then three, five, and then you're dead. You destroy your team's entire hopes.

Right now, since I'm more focused on TFT than League of Legends, I can't say I know all the meta picks, but I understand the logic behind why they're chosen. Additionally, they've switched to a new draft system called Fearless Draft, which I don't know how long it's been around. I think this might be the best decision ever made. This way, teams have to work harder on very different compositions and champions. More surprise champions are being played.

Players deserve credit too. Faker was a legend when I started playing, but now he's a completely different player. If I'm not mistaken, he's won the World Championship five times and the LCK Championship ten times. That's not something any player can achieve. If a professional player wins Worlds once, it's the biggest thing in the world for them. They can't imagine more. For people who haven't played this game before, I can say that Faker is as good a player as Messi, Ronaldo, or Rafael Nadal in the League of Legends world.

All the other players are considered the best in the world today. While there may be debates about some, for example, Keria is the best support player in the world. Because he can play so many roles and even play carry champions as a support. I remember him playing Caitlyn as a support once. And he always wins team fights by making moves in places and ways that wouldn't occur to most people. In my opinion, he's a unique player.

As a marksman, Gumayusi may not be considered the best in his role, but he is one of the best few players, and he plays flawlessly whenever the team needs him. Sometimes, instead of trying creative things, you just need to play the role you're given. Or attacking while maintaining your distance without making a mistake at a moment that will determine the fate of the game—that's exactly the kind of player you want on your team in moments like that.

In the top lane, Doran might be the team's only controversial player. He has an inconsistent performance. In the final match, there were moments when he died in a strange way, and everyone, including me, was shocked. I'm sure everyone thought he was trying to lose the game when he went under the tower alone and died while the team was way ahead. Still, he's a player who knows how to gain the upper hand against his opponent in 1v1 situations and gets along well with his jungler.

Oner has also been on the T1 roster for years, and although his performance has been inconsistent, he has been performing well recently. In my opinion, Jungler is one of the most difficult roles because it's not enough to kill jungle monsters, you have to help your team at the right moments, and this is harder than it seems because while a lot of mistakes are made in a regular game, very few mistakes are made in professional matches. Ganking someone when they least expect it is much harder. Also, many different champions are played in the Jungle. Tanks, attack damage carries, ability power carries, fighters, assassins, support champions. You need to be able to play all of them well, or at least the strongest ones in that tournament. Because no matter how good a player you are, those champions also have their limits, and if a champion is strong in that tournament, a worse player than you can beat you by playing that champion well.

Long story short, SKT T1 became the 2025 Worlds champion. Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed it. Today I saw a post by @dimeilazgg. Let's see what he thinks about this tournament.
