League of Legends has one of the largest-scale competitive scenes that ensures players worldwide are constantly tuning in to watch their favorite teams compete for glory. As it is with most other esports, a handful of teams stand at the pinnacle of their games, and when it comes to League of Legends, those teams are T1[1] and Gen.G [2].
While both teams have faced off against each other multiple times, the looming question is always which team is stronger. We’re here to compare both teams by pitting their individual skill, notable victories, and recent performances against each other to determine which team is truly the stronger one.
So, if you’re interested in learning which League of Legends[3] team is stronger between T1 and Gen.G, keep reading because we have you covered.
Is Gen.G’s League of Legends team better than T1?
It’s hard to say for certain which League of Legends team is better, because various factors determine this. To help you come to your own conclusion, we’re here to compare both teams’ notable victories, match history, roster, and more.
Notable wins
Gen.G has been dominating the LCK recently. The team won four straight LCK Spring titles from 2022 to 2025. Their biggest global win came at MSI 2024, where they beat Bilibili Gaming 3–1. That gave them their first international trophy. Gen.G is also on a 21-series win streak at the time of writing. While this streak will likely change in the coming days, it’s already one of the longest in LCK history.
T1, on the other hand, is known for its legendary past. The team won Worlds four times, with its latest title coming in 2024, again against Bilibili. The team went undefeated (18–0) in the 2022 LCK Spring Split and beat Gen.G 3–1 in that final. The team has also made the MSI Finals twice in recent years, finishing second in 2022 and 2024. Not to mention, T1 won 2024’s League of Legends Esports World Cup, showcasing its domination over teams worldwide.
Head-to-head match history
T1 and Gen.G have played over 40 times in the past few years. Gen.G currently leads their head-to-head record with 21 wins to T1’s 19. This includes a clean 2–0 victory for Gen.G in their most recent series on May 18, 2025, during 2025’s initial LCK split.
In 2024 alone, Gen.G beat T1 five times. That includes both LCK regular season and playoff matches. Gen.G’s playstyle and consistency have given them a slight edge in this rivalry recently, even though T1 still holds the bigger trophy cabinet overall. This match history is also why so many fans believe Gen.G may have the potential to beat T1 in achievements, though that hasn’t happened yet.
Roster history
T1 has kept a very stable lineup since 2022. The core includes:
Faker (Mid) – still the face of the team.
Gumayusi (ADC) and Keria (Support) – one of the strongest bot lanes in the world.
Oner (Jungle) – aggressive and experienced.
With this being said, it’s important to keep in mind that the team’s long-time top laner Zeus left the team in 2024. The player’s absence was filled by Doran, who has earned the title of Krug Lord, showcasing the replacement top laner’s skill and potential.
On the other hand, Gen.G has rebuilt smartly over the years. The team’s current lineup (as of mid-2025) includes:
Kiin (Top)
Canyon (Jungle)
Chovy (Mid)
Ruler (ADC)
Duro (Support)
All five players are proven stars. Gen.G has kept this roster mostly intact since late 2023. With this lineup, the team won MSI 2024, swept through LCK Spring 2025, and is now undefeated in LCK Summer 2025.
Recent performance
Gen.G is the team to beat in Korea right now. The team’s flawless 2025 season and recent MSI title back that up. But T1 has always bounced back when it matters. With Faker still on the roster and a hungry squad behind him, T1 remains a threat at every event.
The rivalry between these two teams continues to define the Korean League of Legends scene. And with Worlds 2025 approaching, fans may get to see another classic showdown between Gen.G and T1 on the biggest stage once again. Not to mention, Hanwha Life Esports is in a strong third-place spot, and while it looked like HLE would qualify for MSI 2025 instead of T1, T1 bounced back when the stakes were high, just as it has always done.
