“Swing” narrowly, Gen.G turned to criticize Riot Games

The “escape” screen in a narrow Gen.G at Worlds 2024

Before the quarterfinals of Worlds 2024 took place, Gen.G was considered an extremely lucky team that only had to fight with the LCS representative called Flyquest. Even with a convincing 3-0 record in the previous Swiss round, Gen.G is also predicted by many people to “make salad” of LCS representatives to enter the semi-finals. However, the reality of the match is very different than imagination when Flyquest played extremely excellent and twice took the lead to the LCK representative in this match. The little attention of Flyquest such as Massu, Inspired … had a excellent Bo5 match and made Gen.G “unable to sweat”.

However, the level of gen.g is undeniable when they can adapt to the special ban/choice of Flyquest and win. Besides, stars like Canyon, Chovy … also have shining at the right time and helped Gen.G hard to overcome this opponent. Without that shine, Gen.G was likely to “hate” in Worlds 2024 this year.

Coach Gen.G criticized the Swiss format of Riot Games

With a highly expected team like Gen.G, the “escape” of the LCS representative is rare for people to think about. Moreover, this defeat also exposes some weaknesses of Gen.G, especially in the bottom line when Peyz and Lehends have many unnecessary adventure situations. One of them directly led to Gen.G failing at game 3 when he could not control Massu with the Kai'sa card. Explaining this problem, Gen.G's Helper coach said that the Swiss formula that Riot Games applied has made them problems.

“The get tickets to the quarterfinals with the 3-0 result in the Swiss round really have negative effects with us. This result does not bring much meaning and Swiss format that Riot Games applied has made us somewhat weaker than before. After losing game 1, players and coaches feel extremely different when the opponent plays very different from the SWISS period. Previously – Coach Helper shared.

In fact, the sharing of coach Helper is the basis when only a few days earlier, a team with 3-0 results, LNG, was completely defeated by the WBG. Gen.G itself at Worlds 2023 also had 3-0 results in the Swiss round but was eliminated from the quarterfinals by BLG. It is possible that playing less matches than other teams has negatively affected the process of preparation and research of the gen.G and this almost made them pay expensive before Flyquest.

To be fair, Gen's recent hard victory is a good sign for this team. It helps genes. This is extremely essential in the context of genes. Hopefully, with the expensive lessons from the last match, Chevy and his teammates will become stronger to continue raising hope to conquer the title of Worlds 2024.
