Reflecting on 2025: A Year of Mixed Fortunes
Throughout the VCT 2025 season, Gen.G Esports experienced a rollercoaster of performances. Despite a promising start by placing third in the Pacific Kickoff, they narrowly missed qualifying for Masters Bangkok after a close encounter with T1. In Pacific Stage 1, they showcased their potential by finishing as runners-up and securing a spot in the Masters Toronto, where they claimed fifth place and a $50,000 prize.
The team also made a strong showing at the Esports World Cup in Riyadh, finishing third and earning $130,000. However, their journey in the Pacific Stage 2 concluded on a disappointing note, with an eighth-place finish after falling to Rex Regum Qeon in the Lower Brackets’ first round.
As Gen.G Esports looks to the future with fresh talent, the gaming community eagerly awaits to see how their strategies and new recruits will shape the upcoming season.
