T1 League of Legends 2025 Roster
Yes, Doran will be taking Zeus' place after HLE offered a substantial contract, effectively both organizations swapping their top laners. This came as a major surprise given how well the T1 Zeus-Oner-Faker-Gumayusi-Keria (ZOFGK) team played throughout the years. Although Doran has big shoes to fill, he is no stranger to competitive success and high-stakes matches. The current roster for T1 in 2025 is as follows:
- Top Lane - Doran
- Jungler - Oner
- Mid Lane - Faker
- Bot Lane - Gumayusi
- Support - Keria
Despite the overwhelming amount of support coming from fans and other pro players, some die-hard analysts on Reddit and social media are skeptical of Doran being able to perform as well as Zeus, however, Doran should not be thrown under the bus so hastily. Having played in Gen.G and HLE, this top laner knows his way around the best of the best.

T1 Legacy and Future
T1 as an organization has seen many successes, but some pitfalls are inevitable in this highly competitive scene and constantly shifting environment. The only player that has remained is Faker, and it seems he will not be going away anytime soon. Not only did the ZOFGK roster become synonymous with a well-oiled machine, as the rookie players gave much-needed energy to a veteran like Faker, but his in-depth knowledge of the game, coupled with international experience resulted in a team that would always reach new heights.
Despite struggling to be the top-performing League of Legends team in the LCK, T1 almost always managed to qualify for the World Championship, and take down some of the best LPL teams in best-of-five (Bo5) series. Truly, the legacy of Faker and T1 is not to be underestimated, as the organization looks forward to bringing in more titles and trophies. The community has begun joking that Faker wants to give Doran a World Championship so regardless of what your position is on the matter, LoL Esports 2025 looks to be very promising both in the LCK and internationally.
