Gen.G’s Remarkable Achievement: The “Hard to Beat” Streak
Recently, Gen.G faced off against Hanwha Life Esports, securing a victory with a score of 2-1 in the opening match of the Regular Season 2025. Following their previous win against T1, this remarkable performance allows Gen.G to conclude the group stage with an impressive unbeaten streak. As it stands, Gen.G is poised to be the second team after T1 to achieve an undefeated record in a national league tournament. However, a “hard to beat” streak is currently in focus: Gen.G has yet to win two consecutive matches without a loss in the World Championship (CKTG).
Throughout its history, if we exclude the controversial period of Samsung Galaxy, Gen.G has had two consecutive undefeated streaks but has never secured a championship in the highest tier of the League of Legends scene. This is a disappointing fact, especially considering the high stakes during these critical playoffs. Each time they enter the playoffs, there’s a feeling that Gen.G could potentially lose to any opponent.
Meanwhile, Chovy has become a key player in the highly competitive League of Legends environment. Compared to Uzi, who has been inducted into the Hall of Legends, Chovy has had two appearances at the World Championship finals. However, in recent years, he has often been regarded as the best player globally since Faker’s decline, yet his best achievement remains only reaching the semifinals.
Will 2025 Be Gen.G’s “Year of Redemption”?
With Chovy exhibiting exceptional performance, it’s hard to believe that Gen.G could continue to stumble at the CKTG this year. However, the reality is that this competition is unlike any other, and each opponent poses a greater challenge. Therefore, even though Gen.G is in good form and Chovy is performing at his best, it remains uncertain, especially when T1 or HLE have previously eliminated Gen.G in crucial moments.
