All qualified teams for League of Legends World Championship 2025

League of Legends Worlds 2025 is fast approaching, and in just a few weeks, 17 teams will start the climb to the highest peak the game’s esports scene can offer.

Taking place in China, some teams will kick off the event on October 14th with Play-In matches, while others will wait in the Swiss Stage. As always, only eight teams will qualify for the Knockout Stage, with one team walking out as world champion on November 9th.

There’s still a long road before League of Legends’ biggest event of the season begins, as most regions still have to hold their Summer Finals. Still, a lot of teams have already made it through due to the Split’s formats — or because the organisation won MSI months back.

Gen.G were the first team to qualify for this year’s World Championship in the LCK after securing its slot as soon as it qualified for the LCK Season Playoffs.

As a result of the organisation’s MSI win, three more teams will join it from the LCK — but undoubtedly Gen.G will enter Worlds as the favourite to win the title. 

Joining Gen.G at this year’s World Championship are KT Rolster and Hanwha Life Esports. Whilst seeding for the international competition has yet to be decided, both KT Rolster and Hanwha Life Esports have guaranteed a spot at the World Championship by making it to the LCK 2025 season’s upper-bracket final.

The final team that has secured LCK’s last Worlds 2025 spot is T1. After beating Dplus in the LCK 2025 Season Lower Bracket Round 2 on September 18th, the five-time League of Legends World Champion has booked its place in China.

Unlike most regions, all three LCP representatives have been decided, with only seeding remaining for the World Championship.

CTBC Flying Oyster qualified for Worlds through its regional split after winning the first upper bracket semifinal of LCP Season Finals Playoffs against Team Secret Whales. CFO will be the fan-favourite dark horse to play at Worlds 2025 without a doubt. Moreover, the organisation has an opportunity to win the 2025 LCP Season after making it to the Grand Finals on September 13th.

After making it to every League of Legends esports international event this year, fans have high expectations for CFO — and the team is usually not one to disappoint.

PSG Talon has also qualified through the same road as CFO and will look to make an unforgettable run at Worlds 2025. The team is spotlighted by Huang ‘Maple‘ Yi-Tang, who qualified for the tournament after making a stellar comeback from retirement earlier this year. 

LCP’s third representative is Secret Whales after making its way to the LCP Lower Bracket Final. The organisation, which interestingly currently holds a ‘guest’ slot in the LCP, ultimately made it ot the finals of the LCP Season Playoffs, losing to CTBC Flying Oyster.

G2 Esports secured its place at Worlds 2025 and will likely once again carry the torch as Europe’s strongest contender. Known for flashy plays and unmatched adaptability on the international stage, G2 remains a perennial threat at Worlds despite its performance at MSI 2025. 

Joining G2 from the LEC, Movistar KOI will make its second international appearance of the year.

While the organisation, under the MAD Lions banner, has historically struggled at the World Championship, MKOI is running towards Worlds 2025 with renewed energy. Despite its success this year, the team’s journey unfortualy didn’t conclude with an LEC Summer Finals trophy. Moreover, with the weight of some major announcements surrounding the organisation, MKOI will be under heavy pressure to deliver on the Worlds’ stage.

The final LEC League of Legends World Championship place was ultimately secured by Fnatic during the LEC Summer split playoffs after beating Karmine Corp on September 26th.

Vivo Keyd Stars wasn’t the most dominant team in the regular season, but when it mattered most, it rose to the occasion. During the LTA Split 3 Playoffs, it swept through nearly every series 3-0, earning a Worlds 2025 spot in convincing fashion.

However, Worlds qualification carries a heavy responsibility. In recent years, Latin America has performed beyond expectations at international events, raising the bar for the region. Now, Vivo Keyd Stars must step up to carry that momentum forward and prove it can keep LATAM’s global reputation alive.

FlyQuest have been dominating North America this year, finding its stride starting in Split 2 and carrying that momentum through to Worlds qualification. With solid international showings already under its belt, the team is now seen as the leader of NA’s comeback on the global stage.

The final Worlds 2025 place was fought at the LTA Championship, which features both LTA North and LTA South representatives. After two rounds of action, the final spot was awarded to LTA North’s 100 Thieves after beating RED Canids 3-0, a fitting farewell for the North American organisation’s last year in League of Legends.

After beating TOP Esports on September 15th, Bilibili Gaming (BLG) secured enough LPL Championship points to guarantee its place at League of Legends’ season-ending event. However, the team then went on to win LPL Split 3, meaning that Anyone’s Legends qualified via Championship points instead.

The remaining two spots were decided via the LPL Regional Finals. Participating in the event, which commenced on September 25th, were Top Esports, Invictus Gaming, JD Gaming, and Weibo Gaming. In the end, it was Top Esports that secured qualification to the Swiss Stage. Meanwhile, Invictus Gaming has qualified for the Worlds 2025 Play-In.

Playing in front of a home crowd, four LPL teams will have the support of thousands of passionate fans, making them even more dangerous to face on the international stage.
