KT Rolster Triumphs and Advances to Worlds 2025 Semifinals
KT Rolster, the third seed from the LCK, has made an impressive mark by advancing to the League of Legends World Championship 2025 semifinals. A commanding 3-0 win over CTBC Flying Oyster (CFO) secured their spot, marking the first time this historic esports organization has reached such a stage. KT Rolster has yet to lose a single game in this year’s competition, establishing themselves as formidable contenders.
A Statement Series From KT Rolster
KT Rolster showcased their dominance against CTBC Flying Oyster, contrasting sharply with the previous intense matchup between Gen.G and Hanwha Life Esports. Entering the series, fans eagerly awaited a display of KT Rolster’s strength at Worlds 2025. Despite a flawless 3-0 record in the Swiss Stage, skeptics questioned their prowess due to an easier draw. However, today’s performance silenced any doubts, solidifying KT Rolster as genuine competitors. Game one began with a chaotic battle near the dragon pit. Although CFO secured first blood, KT Rolster emerged with two kills, granting Seo ‘deokdam’ Dae-gil an early advantage. Sustained teamfight victories allowed KT to build a 5,000 gold lead by the 18th minute, eventually claiming a 32-minute victory. Game two saw KT’s mid laner Gwak ‘Bdd’ Bo-sung shine, ending with a K/D/A of 6/0/15 on Orianna. CFO’s resistance faltered as KT Rolster claimed the nexus in under 25 minutes.
CTBC Flying Oyster’s Last Hurrah
In what became CTBC Flying Oyster’s final match of Worlds 2025, the team refused to bow out quietly. The early game was tense, with KT Rolster initially leading. However, a comeback attempt by CFO saw them equalizing the game. Notably, Yu ‘JunJia’ Chun-chia’s dragon steal and Ling ‘Kaiwing’ Kai-wing’s 1000th international assist were highlights. Despite CFO’s efforts, KT Rolster’s Moon ‘Cuzz’ Woo-chan turned the tides, securing back-to-back victories at Baron and Dragon Soul, clinching a semifinal berth.
