It’s not often you see a regular season match feel like a grand final, but when Gen.G face off against T1, it’s always more than just another LCK series.
In their latest clash, Gen.G came out on top with a 2-1 reverse sweep over their long-time rivals, T1. Not only did this win push Gen.G’s season record to a ridiculous 22-1, but it also served up a bit of sweet revenge after T1 ended their 27-series win streak earlier this year.
The match started off rough for Gen.G. T1 came in swinging, completely dominating Game 1 with a 16k gold lead and only giving up two kills. Keria looked unstoppable on Bard, styling on Gen.G and making it look like we were in for a T1 stomp.

But Gen.G weren’t going to let the night slip away that easily.
Game 2 saw the LCK and MSI champs regaining their footing. Ruler built up a solid lead in the bot lane, and despite a decent early game from T1, Gen.G snowballed their way to a win, setting the stage for a decisive Game 3.
If you were hoping for a nail-biting finish, you might’ve been left a bit disappointed. Gen.G came out with fire, and T1 just couldn’t keep up. Canyon, who fans have dubbed the “Friendly Assist Bear”, was absolutely clinical in shutting down T1’s early plays, including a genius countergank that crushed their momentum.

Oh, and speaking of Canyon, he just became the sixth player (and only the second jungler) in LCK history to hit 4,500 assists. Not bad for a guy who already has a Worlds title under his belt.

With Worlds just around the corner, Gen.G are making it loud and clear: they’re not here to slow down. Even though they’ve already locked in their spot at Worlds by winning MSI earlier this year, they’re still steamrolling through the LCK.

But as every League fan knows, regular season dominance doesn’t always translate to international trophies. Last year, Gen.G were also favourites, until they stumbled against Hanwha Life in the LCK final and bowed out to T1 in the Worlds semis.
This time, the story might end differently. Chovy and the boys look hungrier than ever. And if Gen.G can keep this form going, 2025 might just be the year they finally get their hands on the Summoner’s Cup.
