Gen.G kept their perfect record in the 2025 LCK season after a 2� win against T1. This win locked them into rounds 3 to 5 of the tournament. With 14 straight match wins and only 3 map losses, Gen.G remains the top team.

You saw T1 struggle to keep up. Since losing Zeus, their form has been shaky. In the first map, they were close to winning, but one key mistake led to a full team wipe. Gen.G used that moment to destroy the Nexus and take the lead.

The second map was all Gen.G. They played smart, took control early, and never gave T1 a chance to recover. Their clean and steady gameplay made the win look easy.

The winner gets about $214,420, and the top three teams will go to Worlds 2025. Now, Gen.G is leading the way and showing no signs of slowing down.

Fearless Draft is one of the biggest changes in LoL esports. Choi 'Zeus' Woo-je, who won the 2023 and 2024 World Championships with T1, shared his thoughts after Hanwha Life Esports' 2-0 win over CFO at First Stand. 

He admitted the format is tough but thinks it makes the game more fun. 'So I know that whoever decided to implement this had considered a lot of different factors before they made this decision', Zeus said. 'So I think as a player, you just have to be able to do your best in the given circumstance, and I just hope that all the fans that are watching just get more enjoyment out of this change'.

Fearless Change started in the 2025 season and made a strong impact at First Stand. It prevents teams from picking champions they have already won within a series. This forces them to change strategies and avoid repeated drafts, which has been a problem in League esports. 

Riot first planned to use it only for Split One and worked well. It will likely be used at MSI 2025 and Worlds 2025. Some pros say it is too hard, but players agree with Riot. 

With Fearless Draft likely coming to major events, teams must adjust quickly. Zeus sees this challenge as part of the fun. 'I’m sure that there are a lot of players who are doing a good job adapting, and some teams are still adapting to it', he said. 'And I think this in the process of it all, you can actually find a lot of fun out of it'.
