Gen.G and KT Rolster Clash in Epic League of Legends Worlds 2025 Semifinals

As the League of Legends Worlds 2025 playoffs reach the semifinals, all eyes are on the clash between two Korean giants, Gen.G and KT Rolster. The winner of this best-of-five series will advance to the grand final, where they will face the victor of the T1 vs. Top Esports matchup.

Gen.G, the reigning MSI, EWC, and LCK champions, are the heavy favorites heading into this series. With the addition of the bot lane duo of Ruler and Duro earlier this season, the team has been unstoppable. All five players are in excellent form, making Gen.G the current frontrunner to claim the Worlds 2025 trophy.

The key to Gen.G's success has been the stellar performances of their ADC, Ruler, and toplaner, Kiin. With a wide range of champion versatility, these two players have the ability to single-handedly take over a series and dominate their opponents. Chovy, the team's midlaner, is also desperate to finally add a Worlds title to his impressive resume.

However, KT Rolster, the third seed from the LCK, have been equally impressive at Worlds 2025, not dropping a single game so far. Their midlaner, Bdd, has been the standout performer, showcasing a dynamic playstyle and an extensive champion pool. He will be the primary threat to Chovy and could be the key to KT Rolster's chances of pulling off an upset.

While Gen.G may have the stronger overall squad, KT Rolster's brilliant mid-to-late game skirmishing ability could prove to be the difference-maker. The team will need to find a way to overcome Gen.G's superior macro adaptations if they hope to reach the grand final.
