A “storm” is waiting for the former LCK king after Worlds 2024
From 2021 onwards, Gen.G has continuously made extremely strong investments towards titles. And in fact, this team has dominated almost absolutely in the LCK and also has the MSI title. However, at Worlds, things did not go smoothly. Gen.G's highest achievement is still only the Semifinals. They even lost with a 1-3 margin to their “favorite” opponent T1. This is clearly unacceptable to the LCK's “all-star” team.
But the “disaster” only comes after Worlds 2024. Accordingly, there is news that Kiin and Lehends may leave to join “Dream Team” Kwangdong Freecs next year. Canyon and Chovy's contracts also expire and Chovy himself is said to have unresolved issues to renew with Gen.G. However, the LCK community also has information that worries Gen.G fans: Except for T1, all 7 remaining LCK teams will have personnel changes next year.
The two most anticipated players at Worlds must take responsibility
In Gen.G's defeat, two players performed below their strength, especially in the two matches against FlyQuest and T1. Those are Chovy and Peyz. To be frank, without the brilliance of Kiin – Canyon, Gen.G might have received “bitter consequences” from the match against the LCS representative.
This is not the first World Championship for both Peyz and especially Chovy. But the pair of players still repeat exactly what they showed in previous seasons: a pale face, unable to speak up when the team needs it and only really doing something when the team has an advantage or is in sync. team creates space/opponent is too weak. This is not the look of a team competing for a championship, nor of the players who will ascend to the top of the League of Legends world.
With the greatest expectations, Gen.G equipped their two main forces with the best and the results were disappointing. It can be said that the upcoming “storm” that Gen.G is preparing for, the pair of most expected players must also bear the responsibility.
