T1 and the Top Teams Face Challenges in the Opening Matches of the LCK Cup 2025
One of the most highly anticipated tournaments in 2025 is the LCK Cup, as League of Legends in Korea gears up to feature new teams. The LCK Cup is viewed as a “kick-off” event before the main competition starts later in the year, also serving as a platform for LCK representatives to participate in another tournament organized by Riot for regional competitions at the beginning of the year. Additionally, the LCK Cup will implement the Fearless Draft system.

Moreover, with specific rules being applied, the LCK Cup 2025 will also feature several standout matches in the first week of the tournament. According to predictions, T1 is expected to face Dplus KIA and Gen.G will battle against Hanwha Life Esports. These matches are predicted to be the focal points of the tournament unless any team changes their lineup.

T1 is predicted to encounter tough challenges at present, with the DDoS attack still lingering on this roster. Additionally, DK has also made several significant additions during the recent transfer window, notably the return of Super Support BeryL.
The upcoming match between Gen.G and Hanwha Life Esports is also highly anticipated. Hanwha Life Esports recently “shut down” Gen.G’s consecutive LCK championship streak. Both teams have made notable changes in the recent transfer window and fans are eagerly waiting to see the performance of Ruler and Zeus in the coming matches.
