The League of Legends Worlds 2025 Swiss Stage puts Gen.G Esports up against Top Esports. This monumental best-of-three series will decide who proceeds to the Quarterfinals. However, as this is not an elimination match, the losing team will get one more chance to make the Playoffs.
Here are more details regarding the Gen.G vs Top Esports clash in the League of Legends Worlds 2025 Swiss Stage on October 23, 2025.
Gen.G vs Top Esports in League of Legends Worlds 2025 Swiss Stage: Who will make the Playoffs?
Prediction
After winning the MSI 2025 and the LCK 2025 trophies, Gen.G joined the LoL Worlds 2025 as the favorite. Despite starting the event with a straightforward victory against PSG Talon, it suffered a defeat against LPL's Anyone's Legend.
However, in the subsequent series, Gen.G faced its regional rival, T1, and obliterated them. With prominent picks like Sion, Xin Zhao, Orianna, and Corki, the team outplayed the opponents from the draft stage.
Also, Gen.G's Support, Duro, showcased exceptional performance with his Poppy pick. His roam timing and team fight participation were spot on, and he brilliantly assisted Ruler to carry the mid-to-late game team fights.
Top Esports, on the other hand, is infamous for underperforming at international events. It has so far defeated two Western teams, G2 Esports and 100 Thieves, and lost a best-of-three series against LCK's KT Rolster.
Even though Top Esports players had a good synergy in the first two matches, the Toplaner 369 was the only one playing admirably during the loss against KT Rolster. The rest of the team was slow to make adjustments and counterplay, and failed to win team fights around neutral objectives.
However, with legendary names like 369, Kanavi, and JackeyLove on the squad, Top Esports can definitely pull off an upset against Gen.G. But given how Gen.G reads the opponent's strategy and methodically makes macro adjustments, it's quite difficult to beat the team without any unorthodox shenanigans.
Prediction: Gen.G 2 - 0 Top Esports
Head-to-head record
These two teams faced off four times in the past. Both have two wins each.
Previous results
Gen.G won its earlier match against T1, while Top Esports lost its previous series 0-2 against LCK's KT Rolster.
