prediction

After winning the MSI 2025 i LCK 2025 trophies, Gen.G and his longtime Midlaner, breedthey are now the main candidates to get the World Championship. Being the best player in LoL esports for the past few years, this is the only trophy missing from the 24-year-old Midlaner's cabinet.

However, Gen.G's Toplaner, Kinand the ADC, regulatorthey have been the best so far at Worlds 2025. The overall team synergy and team fight has been spectacular as he has only faltered against Anyone's Legend in this tournament.

Now that Gen.G's next opponent is HLE, the former is the favorite, having recently defeated the latter in the LCK 2025 Grand Final. But the Playoffs stage features a single-elimination format, so breed and co. he must overcome the suffocation of previous years' World Cups and perform as well as possible to advance further.

Meanwhile, HLE's Jungler Peanut He is also looking at the first world trophy of his career, despite competing at a high level for so many years. Besides, this is his last chance to do so, since Peanut will retire from LoL esports after Worlds 2025 to join South Korea's compulsory military service.

However, HLE has three world winners on the roster: viper (2021), intelligence (2022) i Zeus (2023 and 2024). Thus, the team has the experience to perform on a big stage, and these players can single-handedly change the course of a series. HLE's greatest feat lies in its individual brilliance.

All in all, the Gen.G vs Hanwha Life Esports matchup will be one for the history books, where either team can outdo the other if the stars align properly. However, based on the team's recent performance, the former is expected to take the win.

The winner of this elimination series will advance to the Semi Final to face the winner of the KT Rolster vs CFO series.
