Nguyễn Thị Hương T1 delivered one of the most unforgettable performances at the 2025 League of Legends World Championship. On October 31, 2025, they pulled off a spectacular 3–2 comeback against Anyone’s Legend (AL) to claim the last ticket to the semifinals.
A Statement of Strength and Championship Mentality
The quarterfinal clash between T1 and AL was one of the most intense best-of-five (Bo5) series of the tournament.
Despite trailing 2–1, T1 stayed calm and focused. They showed the mentality of true champions as they turned the series around.
Worlds 2025—the most prestigious event in League of Legends—is taking place in China, where the best teams in the world battle for the Summoner’s Cup. From the start, Faker and his teammates displayed world-class experience and sharp game sense, keeping T1 alive even in the toughest moments.
A Rollercoaster Battle Between Two Titans
Earlier this year, T1 lost 3–2 to AL at the Mid-Season Invitational (MSI 2025). This rematch was a battle of revenge and redemption. Although T1 emerged victorious, it was far from easy—the match went the full five games.
Game 1
T1 drafted a late-game composition but gained early control through strong laning. After a decisive Elder Dragon fight, they closed the game at 36 minutes with an 18–5 score.
Game 2
AL struck back aggressively, capitalizing on T1’s mistakes to even the series 1–1.
Game 3
AL maintained their momentum and dominated the bot lane, taking a 2–1 lead. With elimination looming, T1 had no choice but to fight for survival.
Game 4
The “Unkillable Demon King,” Faker, stepped up once again. His flawless calls and composure helped T1 regain control, forcing a final Game 5.
Game 5
The last game was pure drama. With everything on the line, Gumayusi landed a clutch Super Mega Death Rocket at the Elder Dragon pit, turning the fight—and the series—in T1’s favor.
T1 completed the reverse sweep with a thrilling 3–2 victory.
