After a year of regional competitive play, the 15th annual League of Legends (LoL) World Championship began in Beijing on Oct. 14, 2025. South Korea’s T1, the defending world champions, faced off against China’s Invictus Gaming in a best-of-five series. The Play-In match resulted in a 3-1 victory for T1 and drew more than 2.5 million peak viewers (excluding Chinese viewership), a metric that is comparable to the average viewership of regular season MLB games on Fox and ESPN, regular season NBA games on TNT and ESPN and recent NHL Stanley Cup Finals games.
Coming off of fall break will be difficult. There are few things that can help you cope with going from New York trips with friends, outings to fall festivals and more, then returning back to campus to be greeted with more homework and exams.

Staying on campus for fall break? As the weather starts to cool, it’s a great weekend to explore what Baltimore has to offer.

So let’s dive into another week of Hopkins Sports in Review, and remember to continue supporting our teams and show some Blue Jay spirit!
Fall break is on the horizon, and the temperature is finally starting to approach the 50s (in degrees Fahrenheit — that’s around 10 degrees Celsius for all ye non-Americans). In other words, it’s the perfect time to grab a blanket, cozy up and immerse yourself in your new favorite watch, read or album and take the break to explore some of the wonderful live events this week.
Paul Thomas Anderson has an obsession with the past. His dynamic body of work is vast and varied in genre, but all of his films operate with a sort of disinterest in the modern world. He has several pictures backdropped by the ‘70s (Boogie Nights and Licorice Pizza), a few post-war stories (The Master and Phantom Thread) and a historical epic in the late 19th century (There Will Be Blood). Even Punch-Drunk Love, his most contemporary film until now, with phone sex lines and ‘80s songs, is more fascinated with remnants of the past than it is interested in being a present-day love story. One Battle After Another is different; it’s today’s most relevant love story of a father and a daughter in the midst of eerily familiar political turmoil.
