For the professional League of Legends community, the title of World Championship is definitely the goal that every player dreams. A championship at the largest international tournament of the year of the League of Legends village not only brings glory at that time to the player, but they also have items honoring the area, the reward of the region, and especially to make the eyebrows bloom in their fans. However, it is because in the history of League of Legends, there are many changes, the name of the World Championship also often brings controversy. In the English versions of the title, Riot often used with the word “World Champions” and this recently made Gen.G “have drought”.
Gen.G is just the MSI 2024 champion
Accordingly, the official X account of LG Ultragear published an article announcing the schedule of Gen.G at the Esports World Cup 2024. However, instead of using the word “MSI Champions” or another word, the sponsor called Gen.G as “World Champion” – the title Riot used to call World Champions Champions. And everyone knows, the current World Championship is T1.
But the sponsor LG Ultragear has always set for Gen.G as the “World Champions” (World Champions) while this title is belonging to T1
Immediately, a large number of League of Legends community flooded below the post expressed confusing with the content of LG Ultragear. Even ChoVy's fans also said that the sponsor posted with misunderstandings and caused the Gen.G players to be attacked without reason. Particularly T1 fans, the larger frustration and many people do not hesitate to assert the sponsor not only does not find out information but also disrespect T1. In addition, the official X account of Gen.G also repost (reposted) the article of LG Ultragear increases the outrage.
Fans and BLV Montecristo of League of Legends also said that this is a serious and even disrespectful mistake T1
– Not only disrespectful T1 but also gen.g. Before cooperating, you should also find out what they achieve? Lower this one. Think before speaking
– Gen.G is not absolutely not the World Championship
– No disrespectful gene.g but a sponsor, you must learn carefully before posting. Especially the World Champion T1 also participated in this event
Fan Gen.G also confirmed that the article misleading information and needs to be changed.
Currently, although the number of comments is still increasing, the LG Ultragear or Gen.G side has not had any feedback or processing. But obviously, these types of content once again pushed the Gen.G into the pressure. Now, if they can maintain their current form and win the 2024 Worlds, everything will end. But if they could not win the 2024 Worlds, even eliminated early, the players themselves will become the target of the controversial communication from the host company.
