Gen.G had a dominant start, quickly securing a 2:0 lead. But on the third map, AG.AL finally found their footing, and what followed was a complete turnaround. With excellent map control, clean teamplay, and a well-executed finish, the LPL squad took the game and brought the series to 2:1.

The fourth map initially went in favor of Anyone's Legend as well — they played with confidence and took early control. However, a moment of brilliance from Ruler brought Gen.G back into the game, turning what looked like a loss into a potential 3:1 series win. But in the end, even Ruler’s heroics weren’t enough — especially when he was the first to fall in crucial teamfights. That brought the score to 2:2 and set the stage for a decisive Game 5.

Game 5 was a masterclass in team coordination from Gen.G. They maintained complete map control, always staying one step ahead of AG.AL, denying them any chance to dictate the pace. Gen.G were constantly in better positions for teamfights and never let go of their lead. In the end, the fifth map turned out to be one of the easiest of the series for Gen.G.

The MVP of the tournament was awarded to Gen.G’s top laner — Kiin. A well-deserved recognition, as he consistently delivered impact across every game. Kiin made the right target selections, applied constant pressure, and created tons of space for his team to operate. His performance was a key factor in Gen.G’s championship run.

Gen.G are the champions of League of Legends at the Esports World Cup 2025, taking home $600,000 and earning 1,000 EWC Club Points.

Anyone’s Legend finish in second place after a heartbreaking loss. Despite the defeat, the team delivered an outstanding performance throughout the tournament and have firmly established themselves as a top contender for the upcoming Worlds 2025.
