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.
Team Side Performance at Worlds 2025
- KT Rolster boasts a 100% win rate on the Blue Side this tournament, with six victories.
- T1 shows a 73% win rate on the Red Side, winning eleven out of fifteen games.
Significance of Side Selection
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."
Meta and Draft Trends
The meta, picks, and bans at Worlds 2025 are fairly uniform across teams.
KT Rolster's Draft Tactics on Blue Side
- Gwak "Bdd" Bo-seong is often targeted with bans on his Ryze and Azir, though these bans never exceed 45% of the time.
- Ryze and Azir are the two most banned champions against KT overall.
- KT typically bans Qiyana and Yunara when on the Blue Side.
- An important note: KT rarely bans Azir themselves, trusting Bdd to play it well and counter with champions like Orianna or Taliyah.
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.
