5 Players Who Could Break the Internet at EWC 2025 Week 2

 If there is one name that can cause an arena full of fans to erupt, it is Lee Sang-hyeok, better known to the world as Faker. The man many call the GOAT of League of Legends is returning to the EWC stage after a heartbreaking loss to Gen.G in the Mid-Season Invitational final. But you do not become a legend by backing down. Faker comes armed with five world titles and six MSI crowns, and this time he is not just here to play. He is here to take back the throne. With rising mid-lane giants like Chovy, knight, and Caps ready to duel him, Faker’s road to glory will be brutal. And that is exactly how he likes it.

 Back-to-back titles in 2022 and 2023 made Cindy “Cinny” Siswanto a Mobile Legends icon, but last year’s stumble was a reminder that staying at the top is even harder than getting there. This year, she is not just aiming for another title, she is trying to cement a legacy. Cinny is once again joined by her sister Chell on the Vitality roster, making them one of the most dangerous sibling duos in the tournament. If chemistry wins championships, the Siswanto sisters might be lifting that trophy together once more. The stage is set for a comeback story that writes itself.

 You do not get compared to Faker in any game unless you are terrifyingly good. Xu “YiNuo” Bicheng is that kind of player in the world of Honor of Kings. Already an MVP and already a legend in China, YiNuo arrives at EWC 2025 with one goal: to dominate. AG.AL enters the tournament as the team to beat, and YiNuo is their engine, their soul, and their biggest threat. His sharp mechanical skills and uncanny map sense have turned him into a fan favorite, but the real question is whether he can carry that pressure and turn expectation into dominance once again.

 Ratchanon “Moshi” Kunrayason did not need a championship to prove he was the best last year. He took MVP honors without even lifting the trophy, something almost unheard of in Free Fire. This time around, the road looks wide open. Team Falcons, last year’s champions, are down a player, and Moshi smells opportunity. Known for his explosive movement and clutch finishes, Moshi plays like a man possessed in high-pressure games. If he clicks into his rhythm early, there might not be a team in the world that can stop him from rewriting the ending of his own story.

 Illya “Yatoro” Mulyarchuk is no longer the up-and-comer. He is already a legend. With two The International titles and a Riyadh Masters crown under his belt, the Ukrainian Dota prodigy is now one of the most respected names in the game. Team Spirit always finds a way to be in the conversation, and with Yatoro at the helm, they never look like underdogs. His versatility, killer instincts, and ability to make the most absurd plays look casual make him a must-watch this week. Whether he is carrying his team or baiting enemies into traps, you can bet that every Yatoro game will be appointment viewing.

These are not just players. They are moments waiting to happen. Week 2 of the Esports World Cup 2025 is where the real legends begin to carve their place in history, and these five names are already at the edge of greatness. Whether you are in the arena, watching from home, or just catching the highlights, make sure these players are on your radar.
