The ongoing 2025 League of Legends World Championship has already witnessed a dramatic turn of events. The competition began on October 14 with the Play-In stage, where T1 emerged victorious over Invictus Gaming with a score of 3-1.

Movistar KOI vs KT Rolster: Scrim Canceled

Following the conclusion of the Play-In stage, the draw for the Swiss Stage occurred. Both Movistar KOI and KT Rolster were placed in the second pool, resulting in a direct matchup between the two teams. However, excitement turned to disappointment when Movistar KOI’s assistant coach, Quentin “Zeph” Viguié, announced via Twitter that their scheduled scrim was canceled.

In a photo shared on social media, players from both teams were seen chatting amicably in the lobby, indicating a friendly rapport despite the cancellation. Joseph Joon “Jojopyun” Pyun expressed his disappointment about the scrim’s cancellation, though it remains uncertain whether the decision was made by one team or mutually agreed upon. Given the proximity of their match, it is possible that both teams opted to keep their strategies hidden.

Match Highlights: KT Rolster Triumphs

In their official encounter, KT Rolster emerged as expected, winning the Best of One match against Movistar KOI. The game was competitive, with KOI initially leading by 3,000 gold at one point. However, key performances by KT Rolster turned the tide.

David “Supa” Martínez García achieved a solo kill on Seo “deokdam” Dae-gil.
Javier “Elyoya” Prades managed to steal the Atakhan objective.
Deokdam’s Caitlyn hit her critical scaling peak.
Gwak “Bdd” Bo-seong, playing Orianna, achieved an impressive score of 9/0/9 with over 80% kill participation.

Gwak “Bdd” Bo-seong’s outstanding performance reflects his strong form from the summer split. This match marks a promising start to his campaign at Worlds.

The Scrim Culture in League of Legends

Sharing scrim results has become more common within the League of Legends esports community. Notably, Romain Bigeard, General Manager of G2 Esports, has adopted this practice at the end of each split. Earlier this year, Los Ratones created a buzz by streaming their scrims, a trend later followed by FlyQuest. Fans have welcomed these developments, enhancing the connection between teams and their audience.

The 2025 World Championship continues to unfold, with teams keen to showcase their skills while navigating the competitive landscape.
