On October 16 at the Beijing Smart Esports Center, Day 2 of the 2025 League of Legends World Championship Swiss Stage saw KT and HLE pick up wins, while Gen.G and T1 fell. As a result, KT Rolster stands alone at 2–0.

Vivo Keyd Stars and FlyQuest—both coming off Day 1 losses—opened the slate. From the outset, FlyQuest’s jungler on Wukong scaled cleanly and racked up impact plays, which let their laners press the advantage even during lane phase. In skirmishes, Bwipo’s Mordekaiser and Quad’s Viktor carried key fights to seize control, and FlyQuest closed out a routine victory.

Next up, KT Rolster faced Team Secret Whales. KT wobbled slightly in the early minutes but quickly steadied, imposed their game plan, and took control of the tempo. From there it was one-way traffic; KT cleanly suppressed TSW and locked in their second win to move to 2–0.

The third match featured Europe’s first and second seeds—G2 Esports and Movistar KOI—both of whom had dropped their openers on Day 1. Early on, MKOI’s Elyoya on Wukong found sharp ganks to put his team ahead. But after a single pivotal fight brought G2 back to level footing, they kept winning subsequent engagements and secured their first win of the tournament to move to 1–1.

China’s Top Esports met North America’s 100 Thieves in Game 4. TES opened up a lead from the early game and kept widening the gap. Although 100T produced a few bright moments and managed some degree of chase, it wasn’t enough to flip the script. TES avoided major mistakes, quickly claimed Dragon Soul, secured Baron Nashor, and wrapped the game in 26 minutes.

In Match 5, recent dark horse CTBC Flying Oyster took on T1—and proved even stronger than expected. JunJia’s Qiyana outperformed Oner’s Vi from the jump, and Doggo’s Draven solo-killed Rek’Sai to signal trouble. From there, Doggo’s overwhelming DPS hounded T1 all the way to the finish. CFO shattered T1’s Nexus at 32 minutes to keep their win streak alive.

The sixth game pitted LCK’s No. 1 seed Gen.G against LPL’s Anyone’s Legend. Gen.G piled up advantages through early-mid skirmishes and looked to snowball, but AL quietly stacked drakes. At the crucial Dragon Soul fight for AL, superior setup and positioning let them dismantle Gen.G, secure the Soul, flip the momentum, and take the win.

Bilibili Gaming squared off against Fnatic in Match 7. BLG kicked off with a razor-sharp early gank to kill Fnatic’s bot duo and never looked back. They squeezed Fnatic’s map steadily, avoided major hurdles, and notched a bounce-back victory to protect the pride of the LPL’s first seed.

Finally, Hanwha Life Esports—who had fallen to AL the day prior—closed the day against PSG Talon. HLE controlled the pace and methodically took care of business, cruising to a comfortable win and joining the 1–1 pack.
