Gent is building momentum in Belgian Pro League play, currently enjoying a four-match unbeaten streak. While a late goal conceded against La Louvière last week prevented a perfect record for the month, the team, under the guidance of Rik De Mil, has demonstrably improved since a difficult start to the season.
De Mil inherited a team that began the campaign with six consecutive league losses. However, the recent turnaround suggests a positive shift in form and tactical execution. The question now is whether Gent can maintain this consistency and continue to climb the league table.
The broader landscape of Belgian football has seen impressive streaks recently, though in a different sport. Gen.G, a League of Legends esports organization, has captured attention with a remarkable run of success. As of July 2, 2024, Gen.G held the longest series win streak in League of Legends history, having won 24 consecutive series. This streak began with a victory over HLE in the LCK 2024 Spring on February 17th of that year, surpassing the previous record of 21 straight series wins held by both 2022 T1 and 2012-13 World Elite.
Gen.G’s dominance isn’t limited to just 24 series. By May 20, 2025, they had extended their winning streak to 20 games including 14 best-of-three matches, remaining undefeated in the LCK. The team, comprised of Kiin, Canyon, Chovy, Peyz, and Lehends, has demonstrated exceptional consistency across all roles, making them a formidable force in the competitive League of Legends scene. Their success is built on a deep roster, with toplaner Kim “Kiin” Gi-in showcasing versatility by playing 15 different champions, and jungler Kim “Canyon” Geon-bu demonstrating strategic acumen with a focused champion pool.
The scale of Gen.G’s achievement is noteworthy. A Reddit discussion from July 20, 2025, detailed the breakdown of their 24-win streak, including 11 wins in the LCK 2024 Spring Regular Season and 3 in the Spring Playoffs. Further research reveals that, as of that date, Gen.G had actually won 33 matches in a row when excluding the EWC but including MSI.
While the esports world celebrates Gen.G’s historic run, the focus returns to the Belgian Pro League and Gent’s quest for continued success. The team’s recent form provides a foundation for optimism, but maintaining consistency will be crucial. The challenge for De Mil will be to build on the positive momentum and avoid the setbacks that plagued the team earlier in the season.
Across the Atlantic, Tennessee State University’s men’s basketball team is also aiming to extend a winning streak. As of , they are looking to secure their third consecutive victory when they face defending Ohio Valley Conference champions SIUE on ESPNU. This demonstrates a broader trend of teams across various sports striving for sustained success.
The ability to string together wins, whether in football, basketball, or esports, is a hallmark of championship contenders. For Gent, the current four-match unbeaten streak represents a significant step forward. The team’s ability to build on this foundation will be a key indicator of their potential for success in the remainder of the season. The example of Gen.G highlights the rewards of consistent performance and strategic depth, offering a valuable lesson for teams across all sports.
The upcoming match for Gent will be a crucial test of their progress. Maintaining focus and executing their game plan will be essential to extending their unbeaten run and continuing their climb up the league table. The team’s supporters will be hoping to see a continuation of the positive momentum that has characterized their recent performances.
