T1 vs Gen.G – A Clash of Titans That Defines the MSI Legacy
The Mid-Season Invitational 2025 gave us a showdown worthy of the history books: T1 versus Gen.G—two LCK giants, battling it out in a thrilling five-game series that captured everything League of Legends stands for—strategy, resilience, and passion. Gen.G ultimately emerged victorious and defended their MSI crown, but the story behind this clash runs far deeper than just the final score.
Coming into the tournament, T1 held the spotlight as reigning World Champions. Their run through the upper bracket was nearly flawless—surviving a scare from CTBC Flying Oyster and sweeping Bilibili Gaming with surgical precision. But their true test came when they clashed with Gen.G in the bracket final. That series stretched the limits of both teams, ending in a narrow 3-2 win for Gen.G. T1, undeterred, fought their way through the lower bracket to earn a second shot at revenge in the Grand Finals.
Meanwhile, Gen.G looked unstoppable. The reigning 2024 MSI champions showed incredible form, taking down the likes of G2 and Anyone’s Legend with calculated dominance. When they met T1 again in the finals, it was more than just a rematch—it was the collision of legacies, of Faker’s pursuit of another title and Gen.G’s quest for back-to-back MSI trophies.

For Li “Flandre” Xuan-Jun and the rest of Anyone’s Legend, watching this battle unfold from the sidelines was a lesson in what it takes to win at the highest level. Flandre, a former World Champion himself, knows all too well that past glory fades. His words echo that sentiment: “After winning Worlds, I felt so happy—but that emotion faded. You need to focus on the present.” Now, with T1 out of the way, AL dreams of their own revenge on Gen.G.
Flandre and his squad train with relentless discipline—three scrim blocks daily, fine-tuning every draft and strategy. Their decisive 3-0 sweep over BLG proved they’re not just surviving—they’re contending. And while Flandre remains grounded, treating his return as a rookie’s new journey, his eyes are firmly set on what’s next.
In the end, Gen.G secured the MSI 2025 title, extending their win streak and taking home $500,000. T1 finished second, earning $300,000 and hard lessons learned. But make no mistake: this rivalry is far from over. And for fans around the world, T1 vs Gen.G wasn’t just a match—it was a moment in esports history.
