Gen.G recently had an extremely successful launch against HLE at LCK 2025 Regular Season.

Gen.G's victory makes LPL fans "worry"

On April 2, LCK 2025 Regular Season officially started with an extremely noticeable encounter between HLE and Gen.G. By being the LCK Cup champions as well as First Stand 2025, HLE seemed to be more appreciated before this match took place. However, Gen.G showed the extremely overwhelming power in this match when defeating HLE with a convincing 2-0 score.

After the aforementioned victory, fans can realize that Gen.G has been a lot more advanced than themselves since the previous LCK Cup. Besides a bright shining in both games, players who were once considered a weakness called Duro also had a great performance. This helps Gen.G create an overwhelming game and gives the audience the feeling that they can defeat any opponent.

It is this strong rise of Gen.G that makes LPL fans worried when they think that the gap between this area and the LCK is expanding too much. The reason comes from the bitter team's elimination at First Stand 2025 - TES is playing overwhelming at LPL. Meanwhile, in the opposite direction, the champion of this tournament lost in the opening match at LCK against Gen.G.

"The distance between LCK and LPL is too large. After returning from First Stand, TES still overwhelmed the regional tournament.

"That's right, LCK is exceeding from LPL and the distance is increasingly expanding" - another gamer agrees

"I think this hleg has been completely defeated by the opponent. It is sad for LPL when there are 3 or 4 other teams strongly on par with HLE" - another bitter player shared

Gen.G and LCK promise to make LPL more "hugging" more times

Since JDG champion MSI 2023, LPL representatives have not been able to regain glory for this area in international tournaments. From where they played on par with the LCK representatives, now the LPL teams can lose to the names that are considered weaker from LEC, LTA. TES's defeat at First Stand 2025 is a clear evidence for this when they are repeatedly beaten by less reputable teams. The sad thing here is that when returning to LPL, TES shows his overwhelming and makes fans lose faith in the power of the tournament.

Tes, along with IG, are the only two teams that have won all 6 matches in the recent division of LPL

It should be known that the LPL at the present time has 16 teams attending but only about 5-6 teams are real and worth the monitor. This makes the LPL season very long but the competition in many matches is not high. Meanwhile, LCK with only 10 teams attended but the number of competitive names for the leading group is also 5-6 teams, so the competitiveness and quality of the matches are extremely good. As a result, the general quality of the LPL tournament is constantly downhill and the LCK teams are increasingly improved.

Competition at the LCK tournament is always kept at extremely high levels

Therefore, it will not be too surprising if the LPL continues to be surpassed by LCK representatives in upcoming international tournaments such as MSI or Worlds. Perhaps only a huge change in the way of organizing the LPL tournament, this area can escape the current "tragic" situation to rise up and raise hope to surpass LCK in the future.
