LoL - LCP: CTBC Flying Oyster complete LCP Grand Slam

CTBC Flying Oyster complete the Grand Slam. Winners of the three LCP splits of the year, the Oysters won the LCP Season Finals of the League of Legends APAC elite at Da Nang's Tien Son Sport Center on Sunday, in front of 6,500 spectators. In the Grand Final, CFO defeated Team Secret Whales (3-0).

This decisive win not only crowns them as the kings of LCP but also secures their place as the region's first seed for Worlds. CFO will be the only team in the World to have participated in all international events of the year. TSW will go as the region's second seed, while PSG Talon will go as the third seed.

CFO’s dominance this year is unprecedented in APAC history. As the league’s first true emperor, they executed a flawless Grand Slam in the LCP’s debut season—a league forged by merging the once separate Japan (LJL), Southeast Asia (PCS), and Vietnam (VCS) circuits. Throughout 2025, CFO dropped just a single game: a best-of-three loss to Team Secret Whales during the very first split back in February. Since then, the Oysters have remained undefeated.

In this final against TSW, the Oysters simply displayed overwhelming mechanical skill and macro strategy, earning themselves a title that had to end in their hands today. Moreover, just like in Split 1’s finale, Tsai "HongQ" Ming-Hong took home Finals MVP mostly thanks to an amazing Akali in game 3, humbly stating: "My teammates played so well that it allowed me to deal as much damage as possible and shine." At just 18 years old, he’s already recognized as one of the biggest, if not the most outstanding, new talents of the year worldwide.

This win makes CFO the LCP’s first seed at Worlds 2025, a position rival teams can only envy. In 2025 alone, CFO have shone internationally, catching attention at First Stand early in the year by taking games off big names like Top Esports, Karmine Corp, and Team Liquid, then pushing T1 to five games at MSI before dismantling Movistar KOI. No longer underestimated, the Taiwanese organization now carries the region’s legacy—a blend of the old Flash Wolves and PSG Talon spirit—into Worlds, aiming boldly for a deep Swiss Stage run and a qualification to the quarterfinals at the very least. And they might just pull it off.

Team Secret Whales, now the LCP’s second seed, and PSG Talon, third, both enter Worlds as underdogs after a year of CFO’s near-total dominance. Yet both represent the depth and potential of this new APAC super-region.
