GEN has successfully defended his 2023 LCK Spring Championship and people wonder about GEN’s “level up” today, the answer is: Don’t expect!
GEN has “raised” into the final final of the LCK Spring 2023 – something no one could have expected because what does T1 have? T1 experienced, T1 engaged, T1 dominated the group stage, T1 even grasped the mystery of bans and picks (Peanut himself said so). What about GEN? GEN has a young bot lane duo, GEN has an unstable top half, GEN has a psychotic mid lane, GEN can’t stand the pressure of the big game. But victory or defeat is clear, the king of the LCK is GEN.
Solve the “monster” T1 in 4 games, GEN holds the throne
Even before the finals took place, people still believed in the obvious victory for T1 – the “monsters” had already made their way into the play-offs, trampling every opponent with strange cards and players who “master” the POG rankings. But maybe that’s a good thing for GEN, GEN doesn’t match expectations and pressure.
With the history of runner-up to the point of being called the “second-place king”, GEN may not be trustworthy in the eyes of many people, especially the Spring LCK has never been a “promised land” for this golden tiger team, if If you want GEN to win, people will think of Summer. But GEN in a position of little expectation, released a bit of pressure and “went on” extremely strongly.
GEN’s moment of embracing each other when the Champion was really broken
Peyz is only 17 years old, he is too “young” and “green” for a final, with the opponent T1 – that was certainly the opinion of many people watching the LCK Spring 2023. But maybe because so Peyz hit “fly”, better and “aggressive”.
Chovy got rid of the heavy pressure and returned to the original form of the top mid laner in the LCK
Chovy can’t stand the pressure from big matches, the bigger the pressure, the more “cold” the hands are – then the fan’s expectation of this season is the most priceless gift. No longer carrying the heavy burden of “shining”, Chovy plays more support, more control and more dedication. That really means something to GEN’s next win.
The whole GEN team has been rated as “the weakest champion candidate”, but sometimes that’s why they can maintain their LCK throne. The overwhelming victory over T1 has shown that this young team will shine even more, especially at the upcoming MSI.
