The ongoing 2025 LCK split’s fifth round is coming to a close, but before it does, T1 and Gen.G will face off one last time ahead of a potential playoff battle. Hanwha Life Esports and T1 are competing for second place in the legends group, and winning against Gen.G will guarantee that spot to T1.
Betting tip: T1 has continued to adapt to Gen.G’s tactics, and there’s a good chance that it may cause another upset by winning here.
My T1 vs Gen.G pick: T1 wins 2-1 at 7.15 odds at GG.BET.
It took only one good day of play for T1 to prove that Gen.G wasn’t unbeatable. The team has continued to slowly adapt over the course of the year to how Gen.G plays, from polishing its early game strategies to countering most of Gen.G’s strongest draft compositions. There’s a good chance that T1 may get the win again here against the favorite to win the split, especially considering how strong Faker, Gumayusi, and Doran have all been.
The two teams are well-accustomed to each other’s playing styles. Matches have gone to the third game every time the two sides have met on the big stage this split, and that will also likely happen here. It’s a good idea to bet on the total maps being over 2.5, especially considering the payout opportunity there.
It’s fairly common for T1 to dominate in the early game against Gen.G, and picking the team to find first blood is also likely a safe bet. While Gen.G may win at least one game, as long as T1 doesn’t get unnecessarily overconfident the reigning world champions should be able to secure the series win in the third.

Gen.G may have won all but one of the recent matches against T1, but each match has gotten progressively closer. If Faker and his teammates can keep it cool and utilize their mix of tactical know-how and mechanical prowess, the team will have a good chance to win here and solidify its second-place moving into the playoffs.
Our T1 vs Gen.G prediction: T1 as the match winner 2-1 @ 2.76 odds at GG.BET.
