League Awards 2025 – Here is What Happened

The annual League Awards 2025 took place yesterday and they were hosted by Marc “Caedrel” Lamont and Eefje “Sjokz” Depoortere. We saw some interesting moments, including Caedrel shaving his head after failing to predict Worlds 2025. There were also several interesting rewards, so let’s learn more about them.

Chovy Wins the Player of the Year Award

The first trophy that LoL fans had access to was Player of the Year and it was an intense battle between Gen.G’s superstar Chovy and the Worlds 2025 winner Faker. It was definitely a close call, but Chovy ended up winning. He was terrific throughout the year and if it was not KT’s shocking result versus Gen.G, the latter would have won. 

Aside from these two, players could also vote for the following:

• Viper
• Oner
• Bdd
• Kiin
• Gumayusi
• Doggo
• Keria
• Ruler
• Knight
• Tarzan

Inspired Wins the LTA Player of the Year

Kacper “Inspired” Sioma won the LTA Player of the Year award. The jungler from FlyQuest wins the title for the 2nd time in a row. Interestingly, he may join Lyon Gaming for 2026, but nothing has been confirmed yet.

Here are the other nominated players besides him:

• River
• Busio
• Trymbi
• Bwipo
• Massu
• Dhokla
• Quid
• Mireu

Caps won the LEC Player of the Year

This was one of the closest voting because several players had the chance to win the award. In the end, Rasmus “Caps” Winther won the award after he also got the LEC Player of the Year trophy. Aside from him, here are all of the others that were nominated:

• Supa
• SkewMond
• BrokenBlade
• Alvaro
• Canna
• Elyoya
• Jojopyun

Tarzan is the LPL Player of the Year

This is probably not surprising to most people because the jungler Tarzan won the best LPL Player of the Year award. The Korean powerhouse was one of the big reasons why Anyone’s Legends did so well at Worlds 2025, even though the team did not win. In terms of nominations, here are all of the names we saw:

• Shanks
• Knight
• Flandre
• Bin
• Kanavi
• GALA

BDD Became the LCK Player of the Year

It is no surprise that KT Rolster’s midlaner BDD became the division’s player of the year. He was one of the best throughout the season and helped his team achieve great results. These were all of the other nominees:

Doggo is the LCP Player of the Year

• Kaiwing
• FoFo
• Driver
• REst
• Karsa

• Loki
• Vladi
• Caliste
• SkewMond

• Jeesun
• Emily

Baus is the Community Creator Talent of the Year

An interesting fact is that Simon “Baus” Hofverberg received the Community Content Creator of the Year and he wore the same suit that he had for his prom. The popular streamer had little to no competition, but here are all of the other names you’ll find:
