Roads to the Final
T1’s Rocky Redemption Arc After a shaky 1-2 start in the Swiss Stage and a runner-up finish at MSI, T1 found their championship form when it mattered most. They stormed through the bracket with victories over 100 Thieves, KOI, Anyone’s Legend (in a legendary upset), and a dominant 3-0 sweep of Top Esports in the semifinals.
KT Rolster’s Historic Run KT boasts one of the greatest Worlds performances in history, losing just ONE game—to Gen.G in the semifinals. Their 3-1 semifinal victory showcased why Bdd and Cuzz’s mid-jungle synergy has been virtually unstoppable. Perfect games against Top Esports and CFO cemented their status as championship contenders.

The Prediction: Why T1 Edges Out
Despite KT’s phenomenal run, T1’s championship experience proves decisive. At 29, Faker remains at the peak of his powers, and his intangible “clutch factor” in best-of-five series is legendary. The 26-7 head-to-head dominance speaks volumes.
However, expect this to go the distance—T1 3-2 KT Rolster. Bdd’s mechanical brilliance and early game pressure will steal maps, but T1’s late-game decision-making and team fighting cohesion ultimately prevail. For more championship predictions, check our esports betting guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Faker’s last chance at a Worlds title?
While retirement rumors swirl, Faker has consistently defied expectations. At 29, he’s still performing at an elite level, though this could realistically be one of his final opportunities. A sixth title would cement his legacy as the undisputed GOAT beyond any debate. Regardless of the outcome, his longevity and sustained excellence remain unmatched in esports history.
What makes KT Rolster’s run so special this Worlds?
KT Rolster’s near-perfect tournament performance (losing just one game through quarterfinals and semifinals) ranks among the most dominant Worlds runs ever. Their strategic diversity, Bdd’s carry potential, and immaculate team coordination have dismantled favorites. If they win, it would mark one of the most improbable championship stories, given their inconsistent regular season performances.
