In Spring and Fall… Gen.G Lost Again to China’s BLG
Gen.G Esports, the number one seed in Korea's League of Legends professional league LCK, collapsed.
In the quarterfinals of the 2023 League of Legends World Championship (Worlds Cup) held at Sajik Indoor Gymnasium in Dongrae-gu, Busan on the 3rd.
Gen.G had a close match that went all the way to 5 sets against Bilibili Gaming (BLG), the second seed in the Chinese league, but ultimately lost.
The Gen.G players, who played for the first time in two weeks, lost two sets, but as their sense of real-world play improved, they gradually showed performance worthy of being the 'first king of the LCK.'
Although they lost the first and second sets in a row in a tense early game, they won the third set after a fierce battle that lasted more than 46 minutes, setting the stage for their pursuit.
He won the 4th set and brought the game back to square one.
However, he lost 5 sets and his World World Cup journey came to a halt.
Following the 2023 MSI (Mid-Season Invitational) last May, Gen.G lost to BLG at another important moment, reaffirming their status as a 'natural enemy'.
In sets 1 and 2, Gen.G had been devising a 'meta destruction method' for two weeks, but it was painful that it didn't work.
In the 1st and 2nd set ban picks, Gen.G gave the opponent Rumble, Jarvan, Orianna, and Xayah, which are currently considered meta picks in the Swiss stage and quarterfinals.
Instead, he picked Aphelios and Azir and came up with a strategy to counter them.
However, this counter pick did not work and they lost two sets in a row.
In the 3rd set, Gen.G made a quick revision and came up with a revised ban pick.
In the 3rd set, Gen.G banned many ADC champions.
I closed Xayah, Aphelios, and Kalista and took out Kai'Sa.
In mid-game, Chovy's carry power was strengthened by using Yone instead of Azir.
The 4th set also presented the same answer sheet. Gen.G banned Xayah, Aphelios, and Caitlyn and brought out Kalista.
In mid-game, he chose Akali instead of Yone, who was banned, giving Chovy another carry champion.
The result was a success. Unlike BLG's mid and ranged dealers, who lost strength due to the changed ban picks, Gen.G's Jeong "Chovy" Ji-hoon and Kim "Phase" Soo-hwan played well and won every important team fight.
The fantastic initiating performances of the relaxed ‘Delight’ Hwan-jung Yoo and Han ‘Peanut’ Wang-ho also contributed greatly to the team’s victory.
