What big events will happen in 2025? Faker's second chance to win three in a row

★ Game Horseshoe Original

In the 12 years since Faker's debut, he has won 6 championships and is also the second chance to win 3 consecutive championships in his life

Faker, who debuted in 2013, is about to celebrate the 12th anniversary of his debut in 2025. He has won five World Championships in the past 11 years, and the fact that he won back-to-back finals has made Faker an almost impossible existence to beat. The S15 is also Faker's second chance to win three consecutive titles, having lost 3-0 to Samsung in the 2017 final. The departure of Zeus and the addition of Doran have brought some uncertainties to the T1 team led by Faker. Especially in the declining LOL heat of the general environment, Faker has become one of the few top-notch focuses. His 2025 year is undoubtedly in full swing.

Traffic team or strength team?

It doesn't seem to be an exaggeration to package an IG with the strength of the whole region. First of all, the sponsors behind IG have spent a lot of money to recruit the ultra-luxury lineup of Theshy, JieJie, Rookie, Gala and Meiko. Secondly, from the warm-up of the Legend Cup to the stunning debut of the German Cup group stage, all kinds of overwhelming publicity in front of and behind the scenes make this IG team really look like they are going to win the championship. Some people say that this is a first-class team, some people say that it is to save the LPL, and some people say that it is really for the results. In any case, the German Cup has been crushed, will they prove themselves in 2025 to be a galactic battleship, or a pure embroidered pillow? It's worth the wait.

Europe could change

G2 unexpectedly dismantled their squad that had dominated Europe for 2 years, junglers and support departures, and G2 failed to buy any star players to fill the slots, so they chose the most accessible and cheap newcomers instead. On the other hand, Fnatic has absorbed G2's old support, and now this long-dormant old giants are eyeing G2's dominant position. Could it be that the boomerang that stole someone else's family order back then is coming to G2? In 2025, it may not be so easy for G2 to continue to reign supreme in Europe.

New Events

In an effort to save its system, Riot will launch a new event, First Stand, in 2025. With the new bilateral global BP, the hero pool of team players in Bo5 is very demanding, but the current official event size is even smaller than that of MSI, and only the first stage champions of the 5 major regions can participate. The freshness is relatively sufficient, but to say that the gold content of the championship is probably not as good as the mid-season. Such a dessert-like event, can it really bring any new heat growth points to LOL? If you really want to pursue excitement, maybe MSI and S should both enable double elimination and global BP to be a little more exciting. But in any case, this inaugural First Stand in 2025 is sure to be in the spotlight.

Every year I was said no, how many years can I last?

Except for the Korean LCK, other competition regions have basically been declining in recent years, and the related popularity has declined very quickly. LOL's global divisions have also changed from 5+8 at the most to 5 now, with most wild cards merged and a small number disbanded. The scale is getting smaller and smaller every year, so there has been a voice of "lol e-sports is not good anymore" every year since many years ago. However, before it is completely replaced by competing products, it seems that it is still difficult for LOL to be kicked off the altar, it will still be the hottest e-sports event in the world, and it will continue to be the No. 1 position in the global e-sports live broadcast rankings. How will the new competition change LOL next year? Let's wait and see!
