If not counting the defeat against the top eSports at the 2024 World Cup Esports, Gen.G is the only team that still retains the unbeaten circuit from the summer LCK 2024 up to now. This is a really respectable achievement, showing how perfect Gen.G is at the current level. Of course, the record came with pressure and recently, in the match against the other Dplus, Gen.G had a game 1 “unbelievable” when letting Showmaker and his teammates defeat without taking any defeated networks. However, because Gen.G still won the final and extended the winning chain to the present, so in general, the unbeaten achievement of this team is still being preserved.
Gen.G is the only team that is still unbeaten from the beginning of spring until now, in Riot's official prizes.
But recently, Gen.G's coach Kim has a controversial statement. Accordingly, he believes that the unbeaten circuit of the team will be cut off. But the problem is the reason that the coach given is not from a team that is strong enough but implicitly said that Riot himself affects the play of Gen.G. Accordingly, coach Kim said: “I always think our unbeaten string will end one day, we will lose. But now we are practicing some new tactics. Only in the upcoming version, Corki and Tristana are all reduced and that are all the good generals of the Gen.G.”
Coach Kim said that Gen.G will then break the unbeaten series when Riot has many good generals of these team players
In fact, slow adaptation with meta is indeed one of the reasons why professional players have bad results. However, the important thing in a match, is a team winning when they play better than the opponent and make every mistake of the opponent's smallest. Therefore, with a team placed in the position of the candidate champion like Gen.G, the loss of the match and the unbeaten string (if any), perhaps just because they played inferior to the opponent.
But every player must quickly adapt to Meta and if they lose, they will only play inferior to the opponent.
Possessing an unbeaten chain and is highly expected to be both motivation and pressure for League of Legends players and perhaps Gen.G is no exception. Their position was different before Gen.G was the current MSI 2024 champion. However, whether they could complete the Golden Road or not, and have to see the performance of the players themselves, the game lost before DK is the first warning.
