The esports scene of League of Legends is huge in many parts of the world. Besides the official European league, the LEC, there is the Korean league called LCK. A new top team has achieved the perfect result of the tournament there.
Which team is it? The Korean team Gen.G has been in the League of Legends scene for many years. However, the current roster has only been together since November 2024. In May 2025, the team made their debut in the LCK 2025 and dominated the tournament from the start. Gen.G consists of the following Korean players:
- Kim “Kiin” Gi-in on the top lane
- Kim “Canyon” Geon-bu in the jungle
- Jeong “Chovy” Ji-hoon as mid laner
- Park “Ruler” Jae-hyuk plays the ADC
- Joo “Duro” Min-kyu supports the team
What milestone has the team of Faker and Gen.G achieved? Each split of the LCK is its own tournament. The current split is called LCK 2025 Rounds 1-2 (via lol.fandom.com). In a series of best-of-3 matches, teams must compete against each other. In the spring split of the LCK in 2022, Faker and his team T1 achieved a perfect split (via lol.fandom.com). This means they won every series of the tournament with a final score of 18 wins and no losses.
Until May 31, 2025, that was a record held only by T1. With the series against the team OKSavingsBankBrion (BRO), Gen.G has also reached this milestone.

What does the future hold for Gen.G? By achieving first place in the LCK split Rounds 1-2, Gen.G will next play in the LCK 2025 Road to MSI on June 13, 2025. Their opponents will be the second-placed Hanwha Life Esports. The winner of the best-of-5 series will be the first of two teams to represent the LCK at the Mid-Season Invitational (MSI).
What is the MSI? The Mid-Season Invitational is one of the most important tournaments for League of Legends after the World Championships (Worlds). In the first global meet of the season, the strongest teams from different regions such as Europe (LEC), China (LPL), North America (LCS), and Korea (LCK) demonstrate who is the best. The winner of the MSI qualifies for Worlds 2025.
While the LCK Rounds 1-2 are coming to an end, things have also heated up in the north of Europe, in the so-called NLC.
