Gen.G has cemented its dominance in the League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK), defeating Hanwha Life Esports 3-1 in the 2025 Woori Bank LCK Finals on Sept. 28 to claim the league’s first-ever unified championship.

The victory at Inspire Arena in Incheon marked Gen.G’s seventh consecutive LCK Finals appearance since Spring 2022, and their fifth title in that span. With the win, the organization also became the first team in LCK history to capture both the Finals Advancement Match and the Finals in the same split.

2025 LCK Finals Results

Gen.G entered the postseason with a 29-1 regular-season record, and the team’s momentum carried through the final weekend. In the Advancement Match on Sept. 27, they swept KT Rolster 3-0 behind standout performances from bottom laner Park “Ruler” Jae-hyuk and mid laner Jeong “Chovy” Ji-hoon.

In the Finals, Gen.G took control early in Game 1 with Jeong’s Ryze and Park’s Ezreal dictating teamfights past the 20-minute mark. Jungler Kim “Canyon” Geon-bu’s aggressive Xin Zhao led the charge in Game 2, while Park closed out the map with a decisive Kai’Sa performance. Hanwha Life answered back in Game 3 behind Kim “Zeka” Geon-woo’s Sylas, but Gen.G recovered in Game 4. A pivotal Baron Nashor fight flipped the momentum, and Chovy’s Cassiopeia sealed the championship in a comeback win.

Park, who was named Finals MVP, received a custom Golden Dew necklace. The team collected 300 million won in prize money and championship rings.

The triumph marks Gen.G’s return to the throne after losing the 2024 Summer Finals to Hanwha Life. The team previously completed an unprecedented four-peat from 2022 Summer through 2024 Spring.

Looking ahead, Gen.G will represent Korea as the top seed at the League of Legends World Championship, set to begin Oct. 14 in China. The squad has already claimed international trophies this year at both the Mid-Season Invitational in Vancouver and the Esports World Cup in Riyadh.

The Finals also made history as the first esports competition broadcast live on a terrestrial Korean channel, MBC. Thousands of fans filled Inspire Arena across two days, underscoring the growing cultural footprint of professional League of Legends in South Korea.
