KT Rolster mid laner Gwak ‘Bdd‘ Bo-sung has won LCK Player of the Year at the 2025 LCK Awards.

The annual awards ceremony for South Korea’s premier League of Legends competition celebrates the individual achievements of players across a variety of categories.

Throughout 2025, Bdd cemented his place as one of the LCK’s strongest mid laners, often spearheading his team towards victory across the LCK season and international competitions. In particular, his performance on Mel during the Grand Final of the 2025 World Championship kept KT Rolster in contention in a thrilling five-game series.

Bdd beat Jeong ‘Chovy‘ Ji-hoon, Lee ‘Faker‘ Sang-hyeok, and Lee ‘Gumayusi‘ Min-hyung to the accolade, taking home a ₩10,000,000 (~£5,058) prize. The mid laner also took home the Best Moment Award.

Despite taking home the Player of the Year award, Bdd didn’t win LCK Mid of the Year, which was won by Gen.G‘s Chovy. Although the outcome sparked debate among fans, the community acknowledged that both mid laners had exceptional seasons.

Bdd was one of two KT Rolster players to win an award during this year’s ceremony. Jungler Mun ‘Cuzz‘ U-chan won the FANTASTEAL Award for stealing the most objectives throughout the season.

Winning Player of the Year at the LCK Awards and the Best Moment Award takes Bdd’s award total to three. The player also won LCK Player of the Year during the League Awards, another League of Legends award ceremony hosted by Eefje ‘Sjokz‘ Depoortere and Marc ‘Caedrel‘ Lamont.

ESI Ranking System
We’ve created a ranking system to help you quickly know how good each gambling platform is. As gamblers ourselves, we know which factors matter most to you, so we follow a best-in-class methodology to test each one with no stone unturned. Once done, we then rank each platform based on the following tiers:
  • A-Tier High-quality sites that deliver a top experience every time. They boast strong performance, nice features, and reliable support, but are just shy of perfection.
  • B-Tier Solid platforms that are worth a spin. They’re safe, fun, and functional, but may be lacking advanced features or have minor drawbacks.
  • S-Tier Reserved for elite operators only. These go well beyond the norm with lucrative bonuses, rewarding promotions, lightning-fast payouts, and a flawless experience overall.
