T1 vs Gen.G in League of Legends MSI 2025 Bracket Stage: Who will reach the Grand Final?

T1 is having an exceptional MSI 2025 event, with two consecutive victories against CFO and BLG. While the first series was won after a difficult battle (3-2 against CFO), the team went on to obliterate BLG in the subsequent series with a 3-0 scoreline.

All five T1 players are in great form and showcasing their deep champion pool and versatility on the Summoner's Rift. With Doran's ability to play both tank and carry champions, and his incredible synergy with the Jungler Oner, the team look the sharpest in 2025 so far.

However, the most consistent factor, and possibly the primary reason T1 is succeeding in this MSI, is its Botlane duo of Gumayusi and Keria. They have outclassed both CFO and BLG's Botlane, and were the prominent factors in winning mid-to-late game team fights.

Meanwhile, Gen.G, the LCK's first seed, is currently on a 21-game winning streak following its MSI Upper Bracket victory over Anyone's Legend. With four previous MSI winners on the roster, the experience and clutch factors are game changers.

The strongest aspect of Gen.G is its Mid-Jungle duo of Chovy and Canyon. They are individually so strong, and can easily outplay the opponent team with macro adjustments and great decision-making. The Toplaner, Kiin, is also very consistent, and he has had a significant impact on Gen.G's recent success.

Prediction: T1 3 - 1 Gen.G
