Gen.G's opponent has been decided as expected as the No. 1 seed AL (Anyone's Legend) of LPL (China).
The AL came from behind to win 3-1 against Flyquest, the representative of LTA North (North America), in the first round of the bracket stage (quarterfinals) of the 'MSI (Mid Season Invitational) 2025' held at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, Canada on the 3rd (hereinafter Korean time). As a result, LCK's Gen.G, which also won the previous day's match against G2, will face the AL in the second round at 9 a.m. on the 5th at the same place. If Gen.G wins the match, it will go straight to the fourth round winner's group and have only one win left to advance to the finals.
AL played in MSI as China's strongest team, but like Gen.G, he handed over the first set to Flyquest because he had not played for a long time. However, the difference in skills was also revealed on the premise of multiple games.
The AL lost one-stroke battle after another in the first set, and suffered a complete defeat that was far behind 7-28. However, in the second and fourth sets, he easily won, overwhelming his opponents in both line games and one-stroke fights, as well as dragon and object hunting. Based on the strong performance of Korean duo 'Tarzan'Lee Seung-yong and 'Kael'Kim Jin-hong, 'Shanks'Chui Xiaojun's complete victory in the mid-liner fight supported him. As a result, Gen.G's 「Chobi" Jung Ji-hoon and AL Cui Xiaojun's mid-position battle, with similar game style and skills, are expected to be a key factor in the match.
