According to previous editions, this year’s awards are expected to be presented to one player for each in-game role — top, jungle, mid, bot, support — as well as the Best Overall Player. Additional categories might include Rookie of the Year and Coach of the Year.
The event will be supported by official LCK partners and sponsors, including Upbit, Logitech G, SecretLab, LG, beer brand Cass, and more. The ceremony is expected to be broadcast through the LCK and SOOP‘s YouTube channels.
Who is Most Likely to Win the 2025 LCK Awards?
Based on both domestically and internationally results of the LCK teams, this year’s awards are expected to be contested between the two League of Legends powerhouses, Gen.G and T1.
The latter ended up lifting the 2025 LoL World Championship trophy once again, becoming the first team to complete a three-peat in LoL esports history. Gen.G, on the other hand, was dominant for the majority of the season, winning the LCK Championship and its second Mid-Season Invitational, as well as finishing in the top four at the World Championship.
Among individual categories, the standout players for Gen.G are top laner Kim ‘Kiin‘ Gi-in and mid laner Jeong ‘Chovy‘ Ji-hoon for their contributions to the team’s achievements. On T1’s side, jungler Mun ‘Oner‘ Hyeon-jun and bot laner Lee ‘Gumayusi‘ Min-hyeong, along with the League of Legends GOAT Lee ‘Faker‘ Sang-hyeok, are likely to be the main contenders.
The Coach of the Year award is expected to be contested between T1’s Kim ‘kkOma‘ Jeong-gyun and Gen.G’s Kim ‘KIM‘ Jeong-soo. For Rookie of the Year, the debate will likely be between Dplus Kia’s top laner Jeon ‘Siwoo‘ Si-woo and BNK FearX’s ADC Nam ‘Diable‘ Dae-geun, as both of them were key players in shaping their teams’ 2025 season.
