Gen.G’s Revenge Complete: HLE Falls 1-3 In A Heated Worlds 2025 Showdown 😤

GenG officially sends HLE home and advances straight to the semifinals of Worlds 2025.

Once again, GenG proves why they are called the “Kings of the LCK.” After three intense and confident games, GenG closed out the quarterfinals with a dominant 3–1 victory over Hanwha Life Esports, officially securing their spot in the semifinals of Worlds 2025!

A Convincing Victory and a Champion’s Mentality

The quarterfinal matchup between GenG and HLE was considered a “final before the final” by many analysts. This rivalry has always been one of the highlights of the LCK, and Worlds 2025 was no exception.

Although HLE showed significant improvement in the latter half of the season, GenG remained unshakable as the 2025 Spring and Summer LCK Champions and are the immovable obstacle that HLE has yet to overcome.

With that confidence, GenG entered the series with a rock-solid mindset, meta-oriented strategy, and superior draft execution. They kept constant pressure throughout the match, never giving HLE a real chance to bounce back.

Keys to Victory

Balanced Strategy and Macro Control:
GenG demonstrated their mastery in controlling major objectives (Dragon and Baron), maintaining perfect map rotations, and synchronizing team movements, living up to the praise that “GenG plays the most structured game of the year.”

Mid-laner Chovy showcased absolute consistency, working seamlessly with his teammates to turn critical moments into game-winning advantages for GenG.

Having triumphed at multiple major tournaments, GenG knows exactly when to step up and deliver something HLE still lacks when facing decisive late-game teamfights.

“The King of LCK” More Than Just a Title

GenG’s 3–1 victory over HLE at Worlds 2025 isn’t just another win – it’s a statement of dominance. It reaffirms that GenG remains the top force of the LCK and is fully ready to take on the world’s best.

Now advancing to the semifinals, GenG stands among the top four strongest teams at Worlds 2025 – a position that only the elite can claim. At present, GenG is regarded as one of the leading contenders for the Worlds 2025 championship title.
