Gen.G has made history in the 2025 LCK Spring Season by completing the regular split with a perfect 18–0 record. This is the first time in League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) history that a team has remained unbeaten throughout both rounds of the double round-robin format. The achievement highlights Gen.G’s dominance not just in Korea, but potentially on the global stage.
This undefeated streak has secured Gen.G the top seed in the playoffs and a place in the upper bracket for the Road to MSI tournament. Their last match of the regular season was another clean and convincing win, proving their consistency under pressure. The team’s success has come from strong synergy across roles, clear in-game communication, and highly efficient execution of strategies.
Throughout the split, players like Chovy, Peyz, and Canyon have stood out with standout performances, while the coaching staff has been praised for smart drafting and game preparation. Many analysts are calling Gen.G one of the strongest teams in the world right now.
In the playoffs, Gen.G will first face Hanwha Life Esports—the same team that defeated them in the LCK Cup Final earlier this year. That loss has set the stage for an exciting rematch. This match, scheduled for June 13 in Busan, will be closely watched, as both teams are seen as top contenders for the upcoming Mid-Season Invitational (MSI).
Road to MSI Playoffs Begin in Busan
The Road to MSI playoffs are set to take place from June 13 to 15 at the Sajik Indoor Gymnasium in Busan. These matches will determine which two teams from the LCK will represent Korea at the 2025 Mid-Season Invitational, one of the most important international tournaments of the year.
This year’s playoff format includes both an upper and lower bracket, allowing teams one chance to bounce back from a loss.
-
Gen.G and Hanwha Life Esports will start in the upper bracket, thanks to their top finishes in the regular season.
-
The remaining four teams—T1, KT Rolster, Dplus KIA, and Kwangdong Freecs—will begin in the lower bracket.
All playoff matches are best-of-five series, with a lot at stake. Only two teams will earn the right to attend MSI, meaning the pressure is intense for every match. One team will qualify through the upper bracket finals, and another will emerge from the lower bracket to claim the second MSI slot.
The event is not only a major opportunity for teams to gain international exposure but also a test of how well the LCK stacks up against other regions like the LPL (China) and LEC (Europe). With Gen.G in top form, many fans hope Korea can reclaim dominance on the global stage.
Whether Gen.G can maintain their perfect record through the playoffs is yet to be seen. But with the way they’ve performed all season, they are definitely the team to watch.
