The competitive League of Legends season is just around the corner, and all eyes are on the top teams gearing up for 2025. With rosters finalized and major changes in lineups, here are the 10 teams you’ll want to follow closely as the race to Worlds 2025 begins.
10. KOI (LEC)
Returning to their original identity, KOI has built on their successful run at Worlds 2024 by introducing Jojopyun as their midlaner while retaining a strong core roster. This Spanish team is ready to make waves in the LEC with renewed focus and cohesion.
9. Fnatic (LEC)
After a dismal 2024, Fnatic is aiming for redemption with roster changes that bring in veterans Mikyx and Upset. With Oscarinin, Razork, and Humanoid staying on, and GrabbZ as the new Head Coach, Fnatic is looking to reclaim their place at the top of Europe.
8. FlyQuest (NA)
Fresh off their first LCS title and a strong showing at Worlds 2024, FlyQuest retains its standout roster, including Bwipo, Inspired, and rising stars like Massu. With their eyes set on elevating NA’s presence internationally, they are a team to watch.
7. G2 Esports (LEC)
Despite dominating Europe in 2024, G2’s underwhelming Worlds performance prompted roster adjustments. The addition of Skewmond and Labrov could be the key to closing the gap between G2 and Asia’s best teams in international tournaments.
6. Invictus Gaming (LPL)
Invictus Gaming is betting on a dream team of LPL veterans like TheShy, Rookie, GALA, Meiko, and Jiejie. After struggling in recent years, this all-star lineup could be their ticket back to Worlds glory—or their greatest gamble yet.
5. Hanwha Life Esports (LCK)
The addition of Zeus, a two-time Worlds champion with T1, bolsters Hanwha Life’s already impressive roster featuring Peanut, Zeka, Viper, and Delight. This lineup positions them as a top contender in the LCK and on the global stage.
4. JD Gaming (LPL)
JD Gaming is returning to form with a new super roster, including Ale, XUN, Scout, Peyz, and MISSING. After a disappointing 2024, JDG is determined to reclaim their spot as one of the LPL’s most dominant forces.
3. Gen.G (LCK)
Gen.G’s 2024 season was bittersweet, ending without the Worlds title. The return of Ruler, alongside key players Kiin, Canyon, and Chovy, could finally bring Gen.G the championship they’ve been chasing.
2. BLG (LPL)
After a stellar 2024 with second-place finishes at both Worlds and MSI, BLG is sticking with their proven roster of Bin, Wei, Knight, Elk, and ON. With their eyes firmly on international glory, they’re among the strongest contenders for 2025.
1. T1 (LCK)
As the reigning back-to-back Worlds champions, T1 leads the pack in 2025. With Faker and the team’s core intact, their only change is swapping Zeus for Doran in the top lane. Their mission? Winning an elusive LCK title after three years and securing a historic third consecutive Worlds title.
Conclusion
The 2025 League of Legends season promises fierce competition and thrilling narratives, with these teams leading the charge. Whether it’s T1’s quest for dominance or Invictus Gaming’s gamble on a veteran roster, this year is shaping up to be unforgettable.
