The LCP region has a “tough” schedule in Round 2 of the Swiss Stage at the 2025 World Championship
After the conclusion of Round 1 of the Swiss Stage at the 2025 World Championship, most of the final results were as many predicted. Among the 3 LCP teams, only TALON faced difficulties against their opponent Gen.G, while both CFO and TSW managed to secure victories to remain in the 1-0 group. However, this outcome puts all 3 LCP teams in a tough spot for Round 2 as their opponents continue to be extremely strong names.
Specifically, CFO will face T1 – the reigning World Champion. In MSI 2025, CFO caused some difficulties for Faker and his teammates. But clearly, compared to a representative from Korea, CFO still finds it hard to create an upset unless T1 also plays unfocused. Meanwhile, TSW faces the other name in the “telecom war” – KT.
Compared to a very weak VCS, KT is at a completely different level. They defeated Gen.G to qualify for this year’s World Championship and KT also showed that they have not unleashed their full strength in the match against MKOI. But the toughest challenge is for TALON as their opponent is HLE. The LCK representative unexpectedly lost to AL and is very eager for a victory to regain their honor and confidence at this year’s World Championship.
Other matchups are also expected to have little surprise. The focal point of Round 2 will likely be in the two matchups CFO – T1 and AL – Gen.G – familiar matchups from MSI and EWC. Meanwhile, the representatives from LPL are facing “soft opponents” and there is little chance for another upset to occur.
