Gen.G narrowly beat T1 and advanced to the 2025 MSI finals

The 2025 League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) ushered in the focus battle of the winner's group final, with two LCK powerhouses Gen.G and T1 facing off head-on.

In the end, Gen.G won 3-2 after five rounds of fierce battle and successfully advanced to the finals, becoming the first team to advance to the championship game of this tournament.

As the peak showdown between the 2024 MSI champion and the S-League champion, this winner's bracket match is highly anticipated. Gen.G defeated G2 Esports and Anyone's Legend along the way, while T1 defeated CTBC Flying Oyster and Bilibili Gaming in succession. The two teams are in hot form and evenly matched.

In the first game, both teams fought back and forth, and their strength was almost equal, but Gen.G gradually took control of the situation by winning the bottom lane teamfight, and finally won the first game in 35 minutes. In the second game, T1 took over the rhythm of the game, frequently forcing teamfights and taking key resources, and tied the score in 29 minutes.

Entering the third game, both teams tended to be conservative in the early stage, and no kills broke out for 23 minutes. In the end, Gen.G found a breakthrough first, led by Ruler's Senna, and won another game. The fourth game was the most intense game in the series. T1 played wonderful operations in many Baron group fights, and completed a team-kill counterattack in 45 minutes, tying the score again.

In the final game, Gen.G successfully punished T1's mistakes in the mid-game teamfight, and Ruler's Jinx burst out to complete the harvest and end the game. Gen.G defeated T1 with a score of 3-2 and secured a place in the finals.

Gen.G will compete in the MSI finals on July 13. T1 will face Anyone's Legend in the loser's bracket final on July 12 to compete for the last ticket to the finals.
