League of Legends Worlds 2025 Swiss Stage has already caused some shocks, with reigning champions T1 finishing round two in the 1-1 bracket after an unexpected loss to LCP representatives CTBC Flying Oyster.
T1 qualified for the Swiss Stage after defeating Invictus Gaming in the tournament’s play-ins, and after defeating FlyQuest, the team appeared to build momentum towards a third consecutive world title. However, CFO — a team that had already pushed T1 to five games at MSI 2025 — proved to be a formidable opponent, this time securing the win in a tense best-of-one match.
