KT Rolster has won the coin toss for the Worlds 2025 Finals and selected the Blue Side for Game 1 against T1. This decision carries strategic importance as side selection influences draft phases and contested picks.
Choosing a side is critical at the beginning of a Best of series since drafting most contested champions occurs early. Some leagues, such as the LPL and LCP, had experimented earlier in the year with side selection through 1v1 matches on the ARAM map. However, this practice was not adopted internationally and was discontinued by the LPL during the Summer Split.
The LCP "added a bit more fun by limiting the number of champions based on the season’s region themes, but for the Worlds, the Coin Toss is used."
The meta, picks, and bans at Worlds 2025 are fairly uniform across teams.
This strategic approach reflects confidence in Bdd’s champion versatility and KT Rolster’s drafting methodology.
Author’s summary: KT Rolster’s flawless Blue Side record at Worlds 2025 emphasizes the tactical weight of side selection and the team’s trust in Bdd’s champion mastery during critical drafts.
