Gen.G succeeded in multiple bloodshed against Hanwha Life Insurance and won the LCK again in a year


Gen.G has proved the era of the '1st round' by climbing back to the top of LCK after a year.

Gen.G beat defending champion Hanwha Life e-Sports 3-1 in the final of the '2025 LCK' held at Inspire Arena in Yeongjong-do, Incheon on the 28th, winning the spring season in April last year, and regaining the trophy for the first time in a year and five months. And he will play as the No. 1 seed in LCK at the League of Legends World Championship, which starts next month.




Gen. G. succeeded in perfect revenge in a year's 'Rematch'. Gen.G failed to win its fifth consecutive LCK title by losing 2-3 to Hanwha Life Insurance in the summer season final held at Gyeongju Indoor Gymnasium in September last year. On the other hand, Hanwha Life Insurance, which won the championship for the first time since its foundation, won the LCK Cup held before the opening of this season and the following international tournament First Stand, breaking down the LCK two-river system that Gen.G and T1 had been building for three years and creating a three-way structure.

Still, in the regular league, which began after reorganizing into a single season, Gen.G. was reborn as a team close to perfection, beating Hanwha Life Insurance and T1.

Gen.G, which won all 18 games in the first and second rounds in which 10 teams competed together, ranked first in the regular league with an overwhelming 29 wins and 1 loss, including two consecutive losses in the MSI (Mid Season Invitational) international tournament, and only one loss in the legend group in the third and fifth rounds in which the top five teams competed. Veteran 'Ruler'Park Jae-hyuk, who returned after a year, and newly joined 'Duro'Jo Min-kyu showed perfect synergy with the league's strongest upper body line.




However, Gen.G, who was hit 2-3 by KT Rolster in the second round of the playoffs, fell to the loser group and lost his pride. Gen.G, who beat KT, who met again after T1, perfectly in the final round, reached the final round and finally regained the championship.

Gen. G. caught the first set with the strong performances of Jung Ji-hoon and Park Jae-hyuk, and in the second set, he fought a one-up fight until the second half, but Park Jae-hyuk's exciting play that swept 10 kills led to 2-0 and was on the verge of a landslide victory.

In the third set, Hanwha Life, whose hands were finally released, succeeded in counterattack in about 28 minutes, but Gen.G was also strong. In the fourth set, Park Jae-hyuk succeeded in Baron Steel again and became the best protagonist to lead the championship by completely reversing the momentum. As the game was broadcast live on the ground wave (MBC) for the first time in LCK, it was a good opportunity to promote e-sports to the general public.




Meanwhile, Hanwha Life Insurance finished second, but maintained a competitive edge high enough to stay in the regular league and play as the No. 2 seed in the LOL World Cup. KT, which lost to Gen.G in the final, will advance to the LOL World Cup as the third seed and T1 as the fourth seed.
