A Miracle Unfolds: KT Rolster Topples a Giant

In a stunning turn of events that has sent shockwaves through the League of Legends community, KT Rolster has done the impossible. The LCK's third seed defied all expectations, dismantling the seemingly invincible Gen.G in a 3-1 series to book their ticket to the Worlds 2025 grand final. For Gen.G, a team that dominated the entire season and won both the LCK and MSI, it's a tragic end to their run, as their Worlds curse continues for another year.

KT Rolster, who just days ago broke their own quarterfinal curse, entered the semifinals as heavy underdogs. Yet, they played with a resilience and clarity that Gen.G could not match, crafting a story that now rivals the most iconic Cinderella runs in esports history.

Bdd's Flawless Masterclass

The story of this series cannot be told without highlighting the monumental performance of KT's mid-laner, Gwak "Bdd" Bo-sung. Facing off against Jeong "Chovy" Ji-hoon, widely considered the best player in the world, Bdd didn't just win—he dominated. His mastery of champions like Yone, Azir, and Cassiopeia was on full display as he secured solo kills and dictated the pace of team fights, earning him the first perfect 10/10 rating from Sheep Esports in two years.

Even in KT's single loss, Bdd was a standout player. His performance was simply flawless, delivering under the immense pressure of a Worlds semifinal. "It feels like I’m still dreaming," Bdd said after the match, encapsulating a performance that was truly dreamlike.

A True Team Effort

While Bdd was the MVP, KT's victory was a complete team effort. Top-laner Lee "PerfecT" Seung-min, a rookie, stood his ground against the formidable Kim "Kiin" Ki-in, playing a crucial role as the team's unkillable frontline. ADC Seo "deokdam" Dae-gil, who was benched just months ago, had a career-defining series, even bringing out the first Kalista of the tournament and standing toe-to-toe with the legendary Park "Ruler" Jae-hyuk.

Gen.G's Curse Strikes Again

For Gen.G, this loss is an unimaginable disaster. After a year of unparalleled success, they once again fell short when it mattered most. The series started with a glimpse of their power, as they amassed a 6,500 gold lead in Game 1, but KT's resilience saw them claw back for an incredible win. Gen.G managed to take Game 2, but then completely collapsed in the final two games.

Star players like Kim "Canyon" Geon-bu and Park "Ruler" Jae-hyuk, who had been untouchable throughout the tournament, faltered under the pressure. The team that looked imperial all year long ran into a KT Rolster that simply wanted it more, continuing a painful pattern of falling just short of the grand final stage.
