Starting with the end of the regular summer league, various champions are emerging in the playoffs. Gen.G has already utilized various champions by leveraging its wide range of players starting from MSI. “We are still practicing various championships,” coach Kim Jung-soo said. “But not only our team, but also our opponents are all different champions. So it’s meaningless to use a meta champion. I think we will use various champions as well.”
Through these various championships, Gen.G is the strongest team in LCK this season. Previously, he won the first four consecutive league titles by winning the spring split, and he boasts a powerful appearance by winning the mid-season Invitational (MSI) championship. As the team boasts such strength, it is more powerful in the multi-faceted game.
In fact, Gen.G. has not lost in all five games throughout this year’s spring, MSI and summer. Against this backdrop, coach Kim Jeong-soo cited Gen.G’s ability to focus in the second half of the multi-game series as his strength. “We have a wide range of championships and our strength is our mid-to-late management,” he said. “In particular, the more we go from multi-game series, the better our players can concentrate. I think the strong ability of players in the fourth and fifth sets is my strength.”
Following the previous spring, Gen.G is once again in a position to wait for an opponent in the final. With the lightweight winner of Hanwha Life e-Sports and T1 facing off, coach Kim Jung-soo showed a cautious attitude. “I never thought a team would come up,” Kim said with a smile. “I don’t know the expected score, but I hope we win 3-1.
If Gen.G wins this summer, he will be able to achieve his fifth consecutive LCK title. Gen.G, who has already failed to show his best performance, is now aiming for a five-peat title. “We don’t talk about such things,” coach Kim Jung-soo said. “I want to achieve it because it’s a big milestone. I want to achieve it and show good performance this time.”
