As expected, T1 and ZOFGK continued to dominate the Player of the Year categories for the second consecutive year, following their back-to-back World Championship victories in 2023 and 2024. This success came just days after Faker, Oner, and Keria were inducted into the KeSPA Esports Hall of Fame 2024, further solidifying their legendary status in the esports community.
Faker, often referred to as the "G.O.A.T" and the "Unkillable Demon King," once again claimed the LCK Player of the Year award, adding yet another title to his extensive collection of individual awards. Interestingly, this award has been exclusively won by mid-laners since its inception in 2021, with previous winners including ShowMaker (2021), Zeka (2022), and Faker himself in both 2023 and 2024.
Another mid-laner, Chovy, also won a fair amount of titles this year, being included in the All LCK 1st Team, and named as Regular Season MVP as well as Player of the Split. This year's All LCK 1st Team is more diverse compared to last year, with players from three different teams included on the list rather than all players from the same team.

Additionally, Atlus, an esteemed LCK play-by-play caster, was honored with a Special Achievement Award for his dedication to the scene.
As the LCK prepares for the upcoming 2025 season, the spotlight shifts to the LCK Cup, a pre-season tournament that will determine a team’s qualification for a new international event. The winner of the LCK Cup 2025 will advance to First Stand 2025, where they will face champions from other major leagues, including LPL Split 1, LTA Cross-Conference, LEC Winter, and LCP Split 1.
