Gen.G extended its dominance during the second week of the 2025 LCK Regular Season, solidifying its position as a top contender by clinching its 18th consecutive win over Dplus Kia. With the series held at the LCK Arena in Jongno-gu, Seoul, the victory against Dplus Kia highlighted Gen.G’s steady rise, as the team maintained an unblemished record throughout week two.

Facing Nongshim RedForce on Friday, Gen.G demonstrated superior execution by closing the match in both sets within 28 minutes, despite rising roster speculations surrounding its opponent. Then, on Sunday, Gen.G squared off against Dplus Kia in a high-stakes encounter, with both teams eyeing a perfect season. After a sluggish opening set that left Gen.G trailing, the team regrouped and mounted a comeback in the following sets. A critical dragon pit skirmish in the later stages of the second set shifted momentum in Gen.G’s favor, and a decisive series of plays in the third set ultimately sealed the victory. This performance not only extended Gen.G’s head-to-head success but also underscored its strategic adaptability over the past four years.

Elsewhere in week two, Hanwha Life Esports continued their impressive form with a six-game winning streak, including a dominant performance against T1. The defending champions, buoyed by recent successes in the LCK Cup and international tournaments, demonstrated tactical precision. A standout mid lane performance helped Hanwha Life Esports claim decisive wins in both their matches against DN Freecs and T1, reinforcing their reputation as one of the season’s most formidable teams.

The week also saw a surge in the use of unusual champion picks, including Yorick, Cho’Gath, and jungle Zed, due to the recent implementation of the Fearless Draft. These selections have added a fresh dynamic to match strategies, challenging traditional lineups and prompting teams to innovate in their approaches to competitive play.
