Gen.G vs Hanwha Life Esports in League of Legends Worlds 2025 Quarterfinals: Chovy's destined triumph against Peanut's final run

Prediction

After winning the MSI 2025 and LCK 2025 trophies, Gen.G and its long-standing Midlaner, Chovy, are now the prime candidates to achieve the World Championship. Being the best player in LoL esports for the past few years, this is the only trophy that is missing from the 24-year-old Midlaner's cabinet.

However, Gen.G's Toplaner, Kiin, and the ADC, Ruler, have been the best performers so far at Worlds 2025. The squad's overall synergy and team fighting have been spectacular, as it has only faltered against Anyone's Legend in this tournament.

Now that Gen.G's next opponent is HLE, the former is the favorite, having recently defeated the latter in the LCK 2025 Grand Final. But the Playoffs stage boasts a single-elimination format, so Chovy and co. must overcome the choking of previous years' Worlds and put out the best possible performance to progress further.

Meanwhile, HLE's Jungler Peanut is also eyeing the maiden Worlds trophy in his career, despite competing at a high level for so many years. Furthermore, this is his last chance to do so, as Peanut will be retiring from LoL esports after Worlds 2025 to join South Korea's mandatory military service.

HLE has, however, three Worlds winners on the squad: Viper (2021), Zeka (2022), and Zeus (2023 and 2024). So the team has the experience to perform on a big stage, and these players can single-handedly change the tide of a series. HLE's biggest prowess lies in its individual brilliance.

All in all, the Gen.G vs Hanwha Life Esports clash will be one for the history books, where any team can outclass the other if stars align appropriately. However, based on the recent team performance, the former is expected to clinch the victory.

The winner of this elimination series will proceed to the Semifinal to face the victor of the KT Rolster vs CFO series.
