At the present time, it can be said that the results in the LCK Spring 2024 group stage are no longer so important. Because, the LCK audience will look forward to the playoffs with even more important developments and results. Especially when T1 failed in some of the final matches of the group stage, forcing their players and fans to no longer be too optimistic. Not to mention, Gen.G, KT Rolster and Hanwha Life Esports or Dplus KIA have shown how ready they are to challenge.
The individual and collective titles of the LCK Spring 2024 group stage have also just been announced
At the same time, as soon as the group stage ended, a series of individual and collective achievements during this period were also announced. Accordingly, it was not unexpected that Chovy and Gen.G dominated almost all categories for individuals and teams in the group stage. In the typical squad 1 of the LCK Spring 2024 group stage, Gen.G occupies all 4 positions and the only “outsider” is Keria. T1 Support has performed very well and this is worthy recognition for him. T1 stars also appear in squad 2 and Gumayusi is in typical squad 3.

However, many audiences realize that, since LCK Spring 2022 until now, Gen.G has a common formula for champions. Specifically, throughout the 5 consecutive LCK seasons up to now, the winning team has never occupied the entire typical squad of the group stage. Even in some seasons, the champion cannot even make a single representative into the typical team 1. For example, T1 in Spring 2022 has Canyon as an “outsider”. As for Gen.G in Summer 2022, there is an outsider named Zeus, while in Spring and Summer 2023, they are not even in the typical squad 1.
T1 occupied 4/5 of the typical lineup spots in LCK Spring 2022 and then they won the championship
On the contrary, the teams that occupied all the spots in the typical group stage squad (T1 Spring 2023 and KT Summer 2023) did not win the championship afterwards. As for KT, it was even worse when they could only reach Worlds the same year thanks to the regional qualifiers.
But in LCK Spring 2023, when they occupied the entire No. 1 representative team in the group stage, they failed in the end.
Of course, if only based on the typical lineup or Keria, Gen.G will not be able to win the 2024 LCK Spring, but the performance of the players is the most important. Not to mention, Keria and T1 will definitely do their best to compete with the LCK champions, as well as end their empty-handed period in the domestic arena.
