T1 made history by winning their third consecutive World Championship title at the 2025 World Championship.

In the 2025 World Championship held in Chengdu, China, the Korean team T1, led by Faker, fought a hard-fought five games and defeated KT Rolster 3-2 to win the Summoner's Cup, achieving a three-peat in the World Championship and expanding the team's total number of championships to six.

As one of the world's largest esports events, this tournament attracted billions of dollars in investment from top sponsors, with the champion team receiving a $1 million prize. Nearly 40,000 spectators packed the finals venue, creating an electrifying atmosphere.

Throughout the match, the two sides engaged in several back-and-forth exchanges, reaching a 2-2 tie at one point. In the crucial fifth game, T1 demonstrated remarkable resilience and execution, maintaining their composure under nearly five hours of intense competition and securing the victory.

After the match, Faker remained calm and said, "As a professional player, I just focus on the game. I am grateful for the victory in the end."

T1's performance continues to break records. They had previously reached the World Championship finals seven times and won five, and now they've achieved an unprecedented three-peat. For Faker, this is his sixth world championship, further solidifying his status as the greatest player in esports history.

Furthermore, the tournament's popularity reached new heights. Last year's World Championship peak viewership reached nearly 7 million globally (excluding China), with estimated viewership in China reaching tens of millions, breaking esports viewership records. T1's victory is not only a championship coronation but also a continuation of an era's legacy.
