KT Rolster's Bdd Wins LCK Player of the Year 2025

KT Rolster mid laner Gwak 'Bdd' Bo-sung has been crowned the 2025 LCK Player of the Year, capping a remarkable season that saw both player and organisation reach unprecedented heights. Bdd beat out legendary competitors including Lee 'Faker' Sang-hyeok, Jeong 'Chovy' Ji-hoon, and Lee 'Gumayusi' Min-hyung for the prestigious honour.

A Historic Season

Bdd's 2025 campaign will be remembered as one of the most impressive individual performances in LCK history. His journey through the World Championship exemplified his impact:

Worlds 2025 Run

• Swiss Stage: Led KT to a perfect 3-0 record
• Quarterfinals: Spearheaded a sweep of CFO, keeping the team undefeated
• Semifinals: Orchestrated a stunning upset victory over Gen.G
• Finals: Pushed T1 to match point in a thrilling five-game series

The finals performance marked the first time both Bdd and KT Rolster reached the Worlds finals, finally breaking the organisation's infamous "quarterfinals curse."

Award Details

Bdd claimed the Player of the Year award and an accompanying prize of ₩10,000,000 (approximately £5,058). He also received the Best Moment Award for his outstanding plays throughout the season.

An Unusual Outcome

In a curious twist, Bdd won Player of the Year despite Gen.G's Chovy claiming the Mid of the Year award. This split recognition reflects the exceptional quality of Korean mid lane talent in 2025, with both players delivering standout campaigns that justified their respective awards.
