Gen.G Esports and Hanwha Life Esports will clash for the 11th time this season when they lock horns in Shanghai on Tuesday, October 28. Only this time the stakes are higher, as the two LoL Champions Korea (LCK) squads battle for a spot in the League of Legends World Championship 2025 semifinals.

Gen.G have had Hanwha Life’s number this season, beating their rivals in the last seven meetings. And according to the best LoL betting sites, they are in an excellent spot to extend that streak.

Despite a sluggish start to their LoL Worlds campaign, Gen.G enter the playoffs after an impressive victory against Top Esports. It was one of the most dominant series of the tournament and a glimpse of how good the Korean champions can be.

While there were some close moments, Gen.G outplayed the Chinese squad with superior decision-making and team fighting, proving just how good they are in clutch situations.

Hanwha Life Esports secured their playoff spot with a 2-0 sweep of CTBC Flying Oyster on Wednesday. It was a fairly dominant display; however, some of it came down to CFO’s errors, as they could’ve won the second map.

HLE also benefited from CTBC Flying Oysters’ aggressive style, as the Koreans prefer to sit back and wait for their opponents’ mistakes. This approach has yet to work against Gen.G, however.

Gen.G have been the better team in this contest since the LCK Cup, and there is little to suggest anything will change. Even though the favorites did not look the cleanest early in the Swiss Stage, their performance against Top Esports suggests Jeong “Chovy” Ji-hoon and his crew are back.
