Zenji wrote a new history. Zenji, who was at the top of Vancouver just a week ago, wrote another golden finale in Saudi Arabia Riyadh. Even before the afterglow of the MSI championship, even the e -sports World Cup (EWC) was conquered. In a week, he lifted two championship cups on the world stage and completed the Zenji world.

And at the center, there was Kim Ki -in (26). He was like the heart of the team, and he made a perfect name on MVP, perfecting Hanta, operation, and momentary judgment.

Zenji won the championship by defeating 3-2 after a full set against China’s Kang Ho Annie’s Legend (AL) in the 2025 EWC League of Legends (LOL) finals held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. As a result, Zenji built a golden tower of two consecutive championships, following the top of the mid -season Invitational (MSI), which just got off in Vancouver, Canada.

The final was to face Zenji and AL’s pride of covering the ‘real strong team’. The game was not easy. Zenji seemed to be shaken by preempting the first and two sets with overwhelming performance and giving three sets of three and four sets.

It was the presence of the ‘man’ that decided to win in the fight that led to five sets of destiny. The explosive firepower of ‘Ruler’ Park Jae -hyuk was exploded, and the ‘Duro’ residents’ ultimate play was used for the link between ‘Chobi’ Jung Ji -hoon and ‘Canyon’ Kim Gun -jung. The MVP that led all this plate is ‘in’.

In an interview immediately after winning, ‘Ki -in’ said, “I was disappointed by the EWC last year. I wanted to win this year, but I’m really happy to win.”

Zenji once again proved his depth and strategic flexibility as a ‘strong team’. After defeating the Fly Quest (2-0) in North America in the quarter-finals and the European G2 esports (2-1) in the semi-finals, even the Chinese champion AL in the final. It’s a whole continent. In the process, Zenji also showed further growth in all aspects such as object controls, concentration and side operations.

With the EWC championship, Zenji accounted for $ 600,000 (about 836 million won) out of the total prize money of $ 2 million. However, it is a championship that contains more than just a prize money. Zenji left an unprecedented achievement of MSI and EWC simultaneously on the LOL international stage in the 2025 season. It’s just a week. Zenji is the only team that won two international competitions in the shortest period of LOL history.

The ‘winning’ march is not over yet. Zenji’s eyes are now heading for the coming LOL World Championship. Already entering the Rolled Cup is confirmed. There is only one thing to advance toward the championship. ‘Chobi’ Jung Ji -hoon said, “The next goal is to win the Rolled Cup. I want to run until the end this year.”

Zenji once again calmed the world. Their challenge to the last puzzle ‘Rolled Cup’ starts from now on. kmg@sportsseoul.com
