Besides BLG, Gen.G is also a name that brings a lot of disappointment at EWC 2024. As the LCK and MSI champions, Gen.G is highly appreciated in this tournament. However, they quickly collapsed against TES with a score of 2-0 and were eliminated in the quarterfinals of the tournament.
In terms of results, EWC 2024 is a failed tournament with Gen.G
The shame that the shame at EWC 2024 will cause Gen.G to have a problem but they show extremely scary performance in LCK. Specifically in the match against KDF, Gen.G defeated the opponent relatively easily with a score of 2-0. Moreover, this team's overwhelming is that KDF cannot stay up to the 30th minute in both matches.
And it was surprising that the Gen.G players were that failure at EWC 2024 was helping them to be much stronger. “We accept defeat at EWC and learn a lot from it. It is not a bad experience and I'm sure I will return to Saudi Arabia in the future,” Canyon shared with the press after defeating KDF.

If you look back at version 14.13, the audience can see this is a huge update from Riot. Moreover, the generals considered to be the hand of Gen.G like Karthus, Skarner or Kalista all receive non -light Nerf batches. Perhaps this has caused Gen.G to “get lost” in the ban/selection and lead to their early elimination at EWC 2024.

However, when returning to LCK, Gen.G had a “makeover” right from the selection of the squad. There are no more “out meta” picks like Twisted Fate or Aphelios, Gen.G has brought more powerful and “trendy” cards such as Kai'sa, Gangplank … and overwhelming the opponent completely. This shows that Gen.G has learned a lot from the last failure.

With the victory over KDF, Gen.G still holds the leading position on the Summer LCK rankings 2024. Even with the “knowledge, experience, experience” obtained from EWC 2024, it is possible that they can keep this position until the group stage ends.
