Starting at MSI 2024, Gen.G is expected to easily win when their opponent is just Fnatic from the Play-In round. The European representative also had struggling moments against GAM Esports, so there is almost no chance of making it difficult for the reigning LCK Spring 2024 champion. Not to mention, Gen.G will definitely need a win to win. had the best momentum for this campaign, especially after they were completely empty-handed in the international arena in 2023, although every time they step onto the world stage, Gen.G is always considered a candidate. top member for the championship.
Gen.G is predicted to win easily when the opponent is only FNC from the Start-up round
The result was not unexpected as Gen.G did not encounter too many difficulties in all 3 games and ended their first BO5 match at MSI this year with a score of 3-0. Perhaps, the second game was a bit longer than usual when the Gen.G players had obvious “self-throw games”. But in the end, FNC could not create any surprises, especially when Chovy used the champion Aurelion Sol who destroyed T1 in the last LCK Spring.
It was no surprise that the score was 3-0 for Gen.G
In the post-match sharing, Canyon – the most important player in Gen.G currently has a very high assessment of his opponent: “LEC has many differences compared to LCK. If in LEC, you can choose the position Having a good champion means I can have a very good laning phase. But in LCK, even if I choose a good champion, I still need a lot of other preparation steps to achieve the above. And in LEC, macro skills Their strength far surpasses LCK in terms of mutation, forcing us to prepare carefully if we want to face them.”
Canyon confirmed that LCK is far behind LEC in terms of sudden macro
In fact, Western teams are always famous for their gameplay that is somewhat inspired, innovative, and not completely dependent on the meta. This is something that LCK is very weak at as many teams, including Gen.G itself, always strictly adhere to the meta according to certain periods. This unintentionally causes them to be stuck in old strategies and can easily be neutralized if they encounter a mutant player. That's probably also the reason why Gen.G and other LCK teams have more or less difficulties every time they go international. Meanwhile, a bold T1, ready to test new tactics with macro gameplay suitable for each match and each opponent, has achieved many successes, culminating in the recent World Championship 2023.
But the mutation is T1's strength that helps them take the throne at Worlds 2023
Perhaps, the LCK teams themselves need to be more daring, forcefully change many tactics and expand the champion pool. As is the case with Canyon – Chovy themselves when they use mutant champions like Kha'Zix or Aurelion Sol. This is probably also the best plan for Gen.G to think about winning the championship at the tournament in Chengdu this year, when in front of them are still famous names in the international arena such as BLG and T1.
