One of the things fans are most excited about during this League of Legends Esports off-season is the release of the LCK 2025 rosters.

With a new format that replaces the traditional LCK Spring and LCK Summer splits, the Korean league becomes more competitive than ever.

The LCK 2025 season is divided into two halves. The first half features Round 1 and Round 2, while the second half comprises Rounds 3 to 5.

Let’s take a look at all the LCK 2025 rosters competing in this new format in League of Legends Esports Season 15.

Another exciting change is the promotion of 16-year-old top laner Jeon “Siwoo” Si-woo from the Dplus KIA Challengers team.

One of the biggest announcements among LCK 2025 rosters is Gen.G’s retention of star mid laner Jeong “Chovy” Ji-hoon and the signing of renowned bot laner Park “Ruler” Jae-hyuk.

Chovy, a core member of Gen.G since 2021, has been a key player in the team’s four LCK championships.

Ruler, who previously played for Gen.G until 2022, returns to the team after playing in the LPL with JD Gaming.

Both Chovy and Ruler have signed multi-year contracts with Gen.G, securing their place on the team until 2027.

Additionally, Gen.G has re-signed top laner Kim “Kiin” Gi-in and jungler Kim “Canyon” Geon-bu. The team has also added rookie top laner Joo “Duro” Min-kyu from BNK FearX to their roster.

After their successful LCK Summer Playoffs 2024 run, Hanwha Life Esports has decided to part ways with top laner Choi “Doran” Hyeon-joon. They’ve acquired the highly skilled Choi “Zeus” Woo-je from T1 to fill the void.

This is a big change for Zeus, as he transitions from T1, the organization where he began his professional career in 2019. The “God Thunder” joins HLE, forming an LCK 2025 roster that boasts three players who have won the World Championship.

On paper, Hanwha Life Esports has one of the strongest LCK 2025 rosters. However, it remains to be seen how they will perform on the actual stage and if they can live up to the expectations.

KT Rolster is making a few changes to its LCK 2025 roster. One notable addition is the return of jungler Moon “Cuzz” Woo-chan, who previously played for the team in 2023. Cuzz played a crucial role in KT’s playoff appearance during the 2023 regular season.

Additionally, KT is promoting support player Han “Way” Gil from its Challengers team. Way has been a key player for KT Challengers, helping them win back-to-back LCK CL championships in 2024. He is now ready to make his debut in the LCK.

Kwangdong Freecs has acquired three new players, including former Cloud9 bot laner Kim “Berserker” Min-cheol, who returns to the LCK after a three-year stint in the North American region.

Berserker is teaming up with Kim “Life” Jeong-min, another Korean player who is returning to the LCK after a year with FunPlus Phoenix in the Chinese region, LPL.

The final addition to the roster is Worlds 2022 champion Hong “Pyosik” Chang-hyeon, who joins from KT Rolster.

T1 is kicking off the LCK 2025 Season with a revamped roster. With the departure of top laner Choi “Zeus” Woo-je, the team’s former lineup, ZOFGK, has disbanded.

For the LCK 2025 Season, T1 fields a new top laner, Choi “Doran” Hyeon-joon, alongside Mun “Oner” Hyeon-jun, Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok, Lee “Gumayusi” Min-hyeong and Ryu “Keria” Min-seok. This core group has been playing together since 2022 and has proven to be a formidable force in the LCK.

How will Doran’s playstyle and approach complement the established synergy between these four players?

Doran was instrumental in Hanwha Life Esports’ victory over Gen.G in the LCK Summer Playoffs 2024 and played a key role in Gen.G’s LCK Summer Playoffs 2023 triumph against T1.
