Gen.G defeated T1 to win the MSI second consecutive championship and won a prize of $500,000

The 2025 League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) came to a successful conclusion. The LCK powerhouse Gen.G defeated T1, also from South Korea, 3-2 in the finals, successfully defended the title, and won a championship prize of US$500,000.

T1 performed brilliantly in this tournament, defeating CTBC Flying Oyster and BLG successively. Although they lost in their first match against Gen.G, they still beat LPL champion Anyone's Legend in the loser group and advanced to the finals. The five-game final was full of ups and downs, showing the top level and profound heritage of the two teams.

In the first game, T1 reversed the game with Faker's key operations and won the first game. Gen.G quickly adjusted and tied the score in the second game with the stable performance of KiIn and Doran. In the third game, T1 played a 22-2 crushing battle and pulled the score back to the lead.

In the crucial fourth game, Gen.G wiped out T1 twice in the Baron and Atakhan team battles, dragging the game into the final round. In the final round, the two sides were deadlocked until the middle and late stages, and Ruler stepped forward and made key outputs many times, helping Gen.G to fully control the rhythm of the team battles, and finally destroyed T1's main base in one fell swoop, winning 3-2.

Although T1 missed the championship, its performance was still remarkable, and it finally won the runner-up and a prize of $300,000. Gen.G won the MSI championship for the second time in a row, proving once again that it is one of the most dominant teams in the current League of Legends arena.
