2025 LCK Cup Winners Crowned

24 February 2025 14:30

Hanwha Life Esports has kicked off its 2025 season with a major victory, claiming the inaugural LCK Cup title after a hard-fought five-game series against Gen.G Esports.

With this triumph, Hanwha Life Esports has secured a spot in First Stand, the first international tournament of the League of Legends season. The team’s top laner, Choi "Zeus" Woo-je, was named MVP of the tournament, impressing with his diverse champion pool and mastery of the Fearless Draft system. His standout performance came in game three, where his Aatrox pick proved crucial, finishing with an impressive 7/0/4 KDA in a tightly contested series.

While the LCK Cup is not considered a traditional split like Riot Games’ other leagues, this victory marks Hanwha Life Esports’ second consecutive LCK trophy following their Summer Split championship last year.

The 2025 LCK Cup, which began in January, featured 10 teams split into two groups battling for an edge in the later stages of the competition. Despite their eventual victory, Hanwha Life Esports' ‘Group Baron’ fell short against ‘Group Elder,’ forcing them into the Play-In stage. The team finished second in their group with a 3-2 record, trailing behind T1 (4-1).

Hanwha Life Esports secured a playoff berth with a decisive 2-0 victory over DRX, setting the stage for a high-stakes postseason run that ultimately led them to lift the LCK Cup.
