The Take
When it mattered, Gen.G won. They beat Kanavi’s Top Esports 2–0 at Worlds 2025. This year they met his Hanwha Life twice in the LCK playoffs and won 3–1 both times, the second in the final. Tonight is a best-of-one, so there is no long series for Gen.G to grind out: one game, and either side can take it.

“Our team had done well up to the final, but whenever we meet Gen.G, it feels like we get a bit hasty or things get tangled.”
저희 팀이 결승 전까지 잘해왔는데 젠지라는 팀을 만날 때마다 조금 급해지거나 꼬이는 느낌이 있는 것 같다.

Back at Gen.G after his JD Gaming contract ran out, Ruler told OSEN he had weighed staying in the LPL against returning to the LCK, and that he came back to Gen.G to win Worlds.
OSEN →“Honestly, when my contract with JDG ended, I thought a lot about whether to stay in the LPL or return to the LCK.”
