In the Match Between T1 and Gen.G: A Potential “Early Final” of the 2025 Regular Seasons
This week, during the 7th match of the 2025 Regular Seasons Round 1-2, the match between T1 and Gen.G could potentially be one of the two “early finals” of the season. Currently, T1 is in a good position; although there have been signs of revival, no one dares to underestimate T1’s ability to challenge Chovy and his teammates. However, in sports, no one can predict the outcome. T1, perhaps unlike anyone else, is a team that has previously managed to “shut down” Gen.G at the beginning of the season if Chovy does not perform exceptionally well.

Currently, T1 has just achieved a milestone by winning three consecutive matches. If nothing changes, they will solidify their position within the Top 3, despite the defeats against Gen.G (week 7) and HLE (week 8). However, if they win, it will be a significant morale boost for the team as they aim for the championship title at the World Championship (Worlds). T1 also tends to target Gen.G or HLE during pivotal moments that no one else would dare to do.
Regarding the match-up, a victory against T1 would be a key step forward for HLE in their upcoming battle against DK next week. But even if they face defeat, Gen.G should not be underestimated. This mindset has led to their surprising loss against T1 in the first week of this season’s round-robin.

For HLE, they will have a challenging week ahead before facing Gen.G, DK, and T1 in the final two weeks. Among these, DK will present a tough match-up, especially with the formidable name BNK FearX. Meanwhile, KT’s winning streak may come to an end as they face HLE this week.
