Worlds 2025: GenG Versus KT – Can KT Achieve the Impossible

KT Rolster has already defied the odds this year. They were the first team in months to win a Best-of-Five series against GenG Esports. Now at the Worlds semi-finals, they must repeat the result. If they win, they will become the first team to win two Best-of-Five series against GenG. However, the mountain that they need to climb is a steep one. GenG is still the favorite to lift the Summoner’s Cup, and Chovy has already shown his hunger for his crowning moment.

Worlds 2025: GenG Esports Versus KT Rolster Schedule

The rematch of the LCK Round 2 and Lower Bracket final begins at 12:00 AM PT (8:00 AM CET). Will KT achieve the impossible once more?

Worlds 2025: GenG Esports Versus KT Rolster Head-to-Head and Match History

GenG and KT have met seven times this year. Two of those series are Bo5. GenG is 10-1 in the Bo3 series. The most recent meetings between the teams were the Bo5 series during the LCK Playoffs. KT won the first one, 3-2, but got demolished in the follow-up match, 3-0.

KT has yet to lose a game at Worlds so far. They have had an easier path than most, but their recent 3-0 victory over CTBC Flying Oyster has caused some of the e-word (if you know, you know). GenG is coming off a nail-biting series against Hanwha Life Esports, where they won 3-1.

Key Champion Picks

Azir, Orianna, and Taliyah are pivotal champions in the series. Chovy and Bdd are two of the best players on those champions. The teams might end up trading them in various situations, but if not, they will stay on the ban list for most of the series. As it was against CFO and GenG in the LCK, Bdd’s Zoe remains a terrifying prospect that the LCK Champions must consider throughout the series.

A key pick for Canyon against HLE was his famed Nidalee. While he did not carry the game, he had a significant impact on it. Even in less-than-ideal situations, Canyon will deliver if he is given the champion he has a skin for.

Will KT Achieve the Impossible?

KT’s victory over GenG came with ideal circumstances. Bdd and Cuzz had one of the best series of their careers. On the other hand, Canyon and Chovy had their worst. Despite that fact, GenG almost won the series. That will be the pivotal matchup as these teams face off once again. KT will need a miracle similar to what happened in the LCK playoffs if they are to take down the indomitable tigers.
