Now, no one remembers GEN’s painful 0-2 defeat to T1 at the beginning of the season.
After a heroic performance on par with Liiv SANDBOX last night (February 3), Gen.G won the first place in the LCK Spring 2023 group. The defending champion reversed the “phenomenon” of LSB 2-1 in Week 3 of the round. table to raise the winning streak to five – the longest in the current region. Despite being led by LSB after 35 minutes of game 1, GEN did not flinch. At the beginning of game 2, LSB created a relative gold gap and held two Elemental Dragon buffs. But young talent Peyz ruined the LSB evening with a sublime Sivir performance (KDA 6/08). Winning an important fight, GEN made the most of the Baron buff to equalize 1-1 after 36 minutes.
Having a big mental advantage, GEN didn’t waste it in game 3. The LCK champion took the initiative to play fast and the goal was to crush the top lane with a situation where four top laners beat Burdol. Not only that, they also turned the Varus in Peyz’s hand into a monster (10/02) to knock down the Nexus LSB Town Hall to complete the victory.
Entering the press conference room, Captain Peanut let out a big smile with glee evident in his answer. “It was a game I really wanted to win and I’m glad I did. I was led around by the opponent in game 1. I think game 2 was also extremely difficult. But the key was in two situations where the bot lane was in game 2 and top lane in game 3. I think we did it well and used it to open the victory,” – Peanut shared on his 25th birthday. .
GEN’s score becomes even more meaningful because they have solved a problem called LSB – the team also has four consecutive victories like them before entering the last Bo3 series. Now, GEN has temporarily forgotten about the 0-2 defeat to T1 on the opening day and is looking forward to a bright future. On Week 4 of the 2023 LCK Spring Split, GEN (5-1) will meet Nongshim RedForce (1-4) at 5:30 pm on February 9 and KT Rolster (2-3) at 3:30 pm on February 11.
