During the LCK Media Day 2025, 10 teams and coaches answered the question before the official season. In particular, the question of the tournament champion team showed the overwhelming overwhelming Hanwha Life Esports when there were 8/10 teams chose the defending champion LCK will successfully defend the title.

LCK Media Day is an LCK communication activity, considered as an "heating" event before the season of Korean League of Legends. Here, each team will have a coach and a representative player participating in the interview. Different from previous years, this year LCK will organize a transparent tournament, divided into two stages: round 1-2 and round 3-5.

Although the season lasts longer, the players and coaches all claim to continue playing and showing the best performance possible. Meanwhile, the bad teams at the LCK Cup also promised to return soon this season. LCK's Esports director Lee Jung-Hoon, said that League of Legends Esports has changed and LCK will also innovate to suit the situation.

With the most concerned question, which team will win (in addition to the defending champion), up to 8/10 teams have chosen Hanwha Life Esports (HLE). Oner explained his choice that HLE has shown a very high performance in the Fearless Draft format, so he said this team has the greatest opportunity to take the throne.

Meanwhile, two T1 players are Beryl of Plus Kia and Peanut of HLE. Beryl explained that when the road changing tactic is no longer used, T1 will take a great advantage thanks to the number of generals used diverse and strong travel ability. Peanut also agreed with this idea, affirming that "it will be more evident when the road change tactic is removed."


The players also made their own comments about Fearless Draft and the elimination of road changes, especially forest people. Peanut and Oner both said that when no longer changing the roads, the jungler could find more diverse forest cycles, serving many different tactics. Meanwhile, Fearless Draft is also very well received, especially when combined with the change of roads that are removed, helping to balance in ban/selection because choosing a blue or red team will be less affected.

LCK 2025 will officially enter the 1-2 period with the first match to recreate the final of LCK Cup 2025 between Gen.G and Hanwha Life Esports. The match will take place at 15:00 on April 2 and are broadcast live on the official channels of LCK.
