Sheep Esports brings expert analysis and live updates on League of Legends Esports. This Sunday, the 2025 League of Legends Worlds will culminate in a historic final, spotlighting a legendary rivalry: the reigning two-time world champions T1 will clash with KT Rolster in what is anticipated to be the most intense Telecom War ever.
As part of a daily preview series by Sheep Esports, this Friday's focus is on the midlane showdown between Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok and Gwak "Bdd" Bo-seong, two iconic players whose rivalry has defined an era.
Bdd launched his professional career with CJ Entus ten years ago. His first major achievement came in 2017, winning the LCK Summer Split with Longzhu Gaming and debuting at Worlds alongside jungler Moon "Cuzz" Woo-chan.
In 2018, Bdd continued his success by reaching the Mid-Season Invitational final with Longzhu Gaming, ultimately finishing as runners-up to Royal Never Give Up.
He transferred to KT Rolster in 2019, where he experienced a challenging season before moving on to Gen.
"Over ten years of competition, Faker and Bdd have faced each other 135 times — two legendary careers whose paths have constantly collided."
"One filled with glory and trophies, the other less so, yet both have ignited passion, thrilled crowds, and continue to stand as living legends in South Korea and across the entire world."
