Gen.G, the player on Kim "Kiin" Gi-in shared his thoughts after a stressful victory that lasted five matches at MSI 2025. In an interview after the match, he pondered why the series was so difficult, the way the player's experience played a key role in their success, and he wanted to confront the next team-T1 or BLG.
This interview is especially deep because Kiin not only says things obvious. His comments revealed the internal motivation of Gen.G, the process of strategic and psychological thinking when entering the final stage of MSI. His words help draw a more complete picture about what makes Gen.G one of the most stable teams in the world.
To better understand the meaning of this victory, it should be remembered that Gen.G has a series of 21 consecutive wins in 2025. On the way through MSI, they continue to prove why they are not only the LCK champion but also one of the top candidates of the tournament. In the semi -finals, Gen.G defeated the number one seed of LPL Anyone’s Legend in a series of 3: 2 tensions. They are currently waiting for the winner of the Battle of T1 vs BLG in the semi -finals.
After a series of tensions with the Chinese representative, Kiin explained why the match became so difficult. The main problem is because they have a limited combat tool in choosing the squad: "I think most of the matches are determined by small fights, and I realize that our squad really does not have many fighting tools. Therefore, it is the main focus of our response, and we want to make some adjustments in selecting the squad."
At the same time, Kiin emphasized that what really keeps the Gen.G stabilize is the personal experience of the players and the ability to take action without too much communication: "Most of our players are very experienced, so they have a very good understanding of their role. We really don't need much communication - you just need to know what to do in the match. Therefore, I think it is the biggest part."
Talking about the power of this year's LPL, Kiin was frank in his assessment and did not underestimate the Chinese region: "Even today's series is very challenging for us. Therefore, if we have a rematch, everything can happen in any way. I think they are still a big threat to us."
Looking at the next round, Kiin has a clear preference about the team that he hopes Gen.G will confront: "Gen.G is really familiar with confronting them at MSI. Not new faces, but I want to say is still our LCK family - T1. I hope they can go far."
Gen.G is still the leading candidate to win at MSI 2025. If they pass the semi -finals, they will have the opportunity to defend their title. However, as a series of matches against Anyone’s Legend showed that even the strongest teams have weaknesses. Each of the next match is not just a step - it is a true challenge of the champion DNA.
MID-SEASON INVITATIONAL 2025 will take place from June 27 to July 12 in Canada, with a total prize of $ 2,000,000.
