As we close another landmark year in esports, Team Razer takes a moment to celebrate the players, teams, and gear that defined competitive excellence at the highest level.
The Team Razer Awards 2025 are about more than trophies or titles. They recognize consistency under pressure, trust built through teamwork, and technology shaped by real competitive play. In a year that also marks Razer’s 20th Anniversary, the awards reflect the spirit that has driven esports forward for two decades.
What the Team Razer Awards Represent
Esports has always been about more than individual moments. It is shaped by long hours of practice, split-second decisions on stage, and the support of a global community that lives and breathes competition.
Last year, the Team Razer Awards spotlight three categories that reflect that journey:
- Player of the Year
- Team of the Year
- Gear of the Year
For 2025, fans around the world were invited to cast their votes through the Team Razer esports ecosystem, giving the community a direct role in recognising the individuals and teams that stood out across the season.
Player of the Year: Lee “Faker” Sang-Hyeok
Few names in esports carry the same weight as Faker. Across multiple eras of competitive League of Legends, he has remained relevant by doing what the game demands most – adapting, refining, and evolving.
In 2025, Faker’s sixth World Championship title, and his third consecutive Worlds win, reinforced what fans have known for years. Longevity at the top level is rare in esports, and maintaining it requires discipline, preparation, and an ability to perform when the pressure is highest.
What makes Faker’s career special is not just the trophies, but the standard he continues to set for the next generation. His approach to practice and competition has influenced countless players, making his impact felt far beyond the stage. It is that consistency and leadership that earned him Player of the Year.
Team of the Year: Hanwha Life Esports
At the highest level of competition, success is built on coordination and trust. Hanwha Life Esports exemplified this throughout the 2025 season, earning Team of the Year through disciplined play and strong execution when it mattered most.
Competing in one of the most demanding regions in League of Legends, the team showed an ability to adapt across matchups while staying composed in high-stakes moments. Their victories at the LCK Cup 2025 and the 2025 First Stand Tournament highlighted what can be achieved when preparation translates into performance on stage.
For fans, Hanwha Life Esports delivered matches defined by structure, teamwork, and confidence – qualities that continue to shape how top-tier League of Legends is played.
Gear of the Year: Razer Viper V3 Pro – Esports Green Edition
At the professional level, gear is not about features on a spec sheet. It is about reliability, consistency, and confidence in every movement.
Among Razer’s esports lineup, the Razer Viper V3 Pro stood out as Gear of the Year. Developed with direct competitive insight, it is designed to deliver precise tracking and dependable performance across long practice sessions and high-pressure matches alike.
Players value the Razer Viper V3 Pro not because it promises an advantage, but because it removes uncertainty. When outcomes are decided by milliseconds, having gear that performs consistently allows players to focus entirely on the game. That trust is why it continues to be used by top esports athletes, including players like Faker and Zellsis.
A Year Defined by Competitive Excellence
The Team Razer Awards reflect more than individual wins. They celebrate the shared effort across players, teams, and technology that continues to push esports forward.
As Razer marks its 20th Anniversary, 2025 stands as a reminder that innovation is strongest when it is shaped alongside elite competitors. The moments created this year, on stage and behind the scenes, are the result of that collaboration and the trust built through years of competitive play.
With the new season approaching, we thank our teams and community for being part of an unforgettable year in 2025. Looking ahead, the pursuit of excellence continues. In esports, progress never stands still, and neither do we.
