CFO’s Record at Worlds with T1 as the Background
This year’s Worlds has seen one of the most impressive teams, namely CFO. It has been a long time since the days of Flash Wolves dominating the League of Legends scene or GAM always making an impression, that a team from the “underdog” region of League of Legends could truly challenge even the top teams of LPL and LCK. CFO has even set a massive record: the team with the highest Baron power play gold gain in Worlds history (+11383 gold).
Notably, CFO’s achievement came from the match against the reigning champions T1. Thus, it can be said that T1 has “unintentionally” become the backdrop for the record of the “big brother of LCP.” In fact, this may be considered one of T1’s most disappointing defeats throughout all the Worlds they have participated in.
CFO’s Journey at Worlds 2025 is Like a “Fairy Tale”
So far, it can be said that CFO’s journey at Worlds 2025 is like a “fairy tale” in the professional League of Legends scene, even more thrilling than DRX’s story. After all, CFO is just the “strongest team from the underdog region.” CFO also features a very young player, HongQ. The other players have been competing for a long time but have not achieved any significant results on the international stage.
However, the real challenges for CFO are about to begin, as their next opponent is HLE – a formidable name that CFO faced in the First Stand earlier this year. Of course, even if they lose this match, CFO still has a chance to advance. But clearly, the upcoming BO3 or even BO5 series will not be as simple as the BO1 match that CFO used to defeat T1. The players from the LCP region will need to focus fully if they do not want their “dream” to end too soon.
