Look Sports Media – GenG have etched their names into LCK history, completing a flawless 18-0 regular season sweep across Rounds 1-2. This monumental achievement makes them only the second team in the modern LCK era to achieve a "perfect split," following T1’s Spring 2022 feat. Their dominance, culminating in a 2-0 victory over BRO, solidifies their position as the undisputed kings heading into the Mid-Season Invitational (MSI).
The final hurdle, a seemingly innocuous match against OKSavingsBank Brion (BRO), proved to be merely another stepping stone for GenG’s relentless march to perfection. While BRO have pulled off surprising upsets this season, including victories over T1 and Dplus KIA, they were ultimately no match for GenG’s cohesive strategy and exceptional teamfighting. Mid-laner Chovy once again shone, securing another Player of the Match award. The LCK English broadcast’s host, dGon, a known BRO supporter, was subjected to good-natured ribbing from his colleagues following the inevitable GenG victory.
GenG’s success isn’t just a matter of luck; it’s a testament to their mastery of map control and their devastating teamfight execution. Their 21-game win streak, including clean sweeps against powerhouses like T1, Dplus KIA, and DRX, underscores their exceptional consistency and skill. This undefeated run extends beyond a month of competition, cementing their status as the top seed heading into the LCK 2025 Road to MSI.

While GenG are only the second team to achieve a perfect split in the modern LCK format, a deeper dive into history reveals that SKT T1 K (now T1) achieved this feat back in Champions Winter 2013-2014. This historical context adds another layer to GenG’s impressive accomplishment.
The Road to MSI is now underway, with a new format offering two direct qualification spots and a "King of the Hill" style lower bracket for the remaining top six teams. GenG and Hanwha Life Esports, having secured the top two spots, need only one more series win to secure their MSI berths. The battle for the remaining spots promises intense competition, with the Dplus KIA vs. Nongshim RedForce match on June 1st holding significant implications for both teams’ chances at MSI and the World Championship. The stakes are high, and the LCK’s intensity is only set to increase as the race to MSI heats up.
