T1 is the Most Unique Team of KeSPA Cup 2025
Normally, the KeSPA Cup only serves as a platform for teams to showcase their new rosters to the audience, or for teams to maintain their gameplay and keep the competitive feeling while waiting for the new season. However, due to adjustments in the LCK, the KeSPA Cup 2025 has become a crucial factor for players preparing for ASIAD 2026. At the same time, T1 has also become a very special name: they are the team that played the most matches in this tournament.
Accordingly, since entering the playoffs, only the match against NS saw T1 finish the game swiftly. In all other matches, T1 played “enough to pay the net.” Even in the final against HLE, despite leading 2-0 after the first two games, for some strange reason, T1 still dragged the match to game 5 before determining the outcome.
T1 Winning the KeSPA Cup 2025 Also Helps Faker Complete His Career
It can be said that while 2025 has been quite a rollercoaster, for Faker it can be considered fully complete as he has achieved all the major titles that a Korean player, loyal to only one team, can acquire. In Faker’s vast collection, the KeSPA Cup was the only title missing. And in this season, Faker has made his career absolutely perfect.
For their part, HLE also played exceptionally well. However, the decisive game 5 marked too many mistakes from the HLE players. Nevertheless, this is just a single match, and HLE still has plenty of time to bond better, improve their mistakes, and aim for the 2026 season, which is sure to be even more intense.
