KT dominate TES to become the first team through to Worlds 2025 playoffs ⇒ LoLNow

Game 1

TES struck first in the opening best-of-three of Worlds. An early gank from Kanavi’s Jarvan, set up by Creme’s Annie, took down Bdd’s Aurora for first blood. The lane phase stayed quiet, with the highlight being a first-turret race that KT won.

Kanavi impacted again with Creme to pick off Cuzz’s Wukong, but shortly after KT caught Kanavi at Rift Herald for the objective and a return kill, with TES trading back on Bdd bot side.

At the second dragon TES secured the drake, but lost the fight 4-for-1, handing control to KT. A tight Atakhan skirmish went 2-for-1 for KT, and despite low health they finished the objective.

Pushing for soul point, TES ran into a perfect KT engage that deleted Kanavi. KT claimed their first dragon and won the follow up 5-for-3 after TES overextended.

Baron became the focus. KT aced TES, chose to bank a second dragon, then returned, picked JackeyLove’s Kai’Sa and Creme, and finally secured Baron. From there TES found a good engage, but KT were too far ahead. The counter engage secured the fight which went 5-for-0, and KT closed the game.

Game 2

The second game of the first qualification match for playoffs started with a bang as Kanavi locked in Zed jungle. For the second game in a row, Creme’s Ryze set up first blood, teaming with Kanavi and Hang’s Rakan to take down Bdd’s Cassiopeia.

Kanavi and Hang invaded Cuzz’s red buff, trading Rakan’s life for the steal. But while recalling in a risky spot, Kanavi was punished by deokdam’s Ezreal and Peter’s Alistar. JackeyLove’s Xayah almost traded it back, but Creme secured the kill instead.

A pick on 369’s K’Sante top side gave KT a free Rift Herald. TES responded with two quick picks—one on Peter in the bot jungle and another on PerfecT’s Renekton top—but KT traded that for another dragon, reaching soul point.

The Baron fight sealed it. Bdd landed a massive four-man Petrifying Gaze, setting up deokdam’s Ezreal for a quadra kill and Baron, ballooning KT’s lead to 6.5k. With the buff, KT pushed mid and bot, taking both inhibitors uncontested.

At the next dragon, Kanavi tried to contest but was cut down by Cuzz and deokdam, who secured the soul and ended the game. KT closed the series 2–0, becoming the first team to qualify for playoffs.
