Bdd Reaches a Major Milestone at Worlds 2025
In the semifinal match against Gen.G at Worlds 2025, KT truly created an “earthquake” by defeating Gen.G with a score of 3-1. KT’s victory was even more surprising considering that in their most recent encounter, KT was utterly crushed by Gen.G in the LCK 2025 losers’ bracket. This win also marked Bdd’s first time reaching the finals of a Worlds event in his career.
Of course, this is not Bdd’s first Worlds, but in previous appearances, the KT superstar always had to exit early. Bdd’s best achievement before the match against Gen.G was reaching the Quarterfinals. It can be said that with a roster considered the weakest among the four representatives from LCK at Worlds, KT has performed a miracle.
From KT, Fans Recall Worlds 2022
Not Samsung 2017, when KT reached the finals, many fans are reminded of DRX from 2022. At that time, DRX also made it to the Worlds with both talent and a bit of luck. Moreover, the knockout bracket matchups are quite similar, as T1 had to face two LPL teams consecutively, while DRX in 2022 defeated Gen.G with a score of 3-1. The circumstances are even more alike, as T1 recently defeated TES to reach the finals against KT.
Additionally, the 2022 DRX lineup and the 2025 KT lineup share some similarities. They consist of a young roster, have players under scrutiny (Pyosik – Deokdam), experienced continuous roster changes throughout the season, and feature a mid-laner who is thriving (Zeka – Bdd).
Based on their performances, the praise for Bdd and KT is well-deserved. However, KT’s upcoming opponent will be T1 – a very familiar name and not easy to deal with, especially since Worlds has long been considered Faker’s “home ground.”
