In LCK Spring 2024, Gen.G is showing an absolute dominance. They defeated T1 in both rounds of the group stage, in which the second leg was an absolute destruction. It can be said that Gen.G is the No. 1 candidate for the Championship of the first half of the year of the League of Legends. Of course, it is still too early to confirm ChoVy and his teammates will definitely win. However, the statement of Gen.G can be completely grounded. As long as they maintain their form as they have been shown from the beginning of the season until now.

However, according to LPL media, Gen.G is facing the risk of being “conferred” at the upcoming MSI 2024. As is known, the first international tournament in 2024 of League of Legends will be held in China. However, at the end of 2023, Gen.G made a serious mistake related to the land of billion people and made the League of Legends community shocked. At that time, Gen.G must completely cancel all schedules, and the team's COO is Mr. Arnold Hur. Must speak up. Although the incident later settled down, perhaps the LPL audience was unforgettable.
But the communication crisis of Gen.G in late 2023 made them risk of being “conferred” at MSI 2024 will be held in China.
This is more grounded when recently, the Gen.G team of Valorant also has the Madrid Masters. However, when broadcasting on streaming channels in China, the images of Gen.G are cut clean. This shows that the LPL will be very strictly handled the case of Gen.G at the upcoming MSI 2024.

Of course, there may not be genes. However, one measure is Gen.G must hit at home is entirely possible. And at this time, one realized one thing: Gen.G will prepare to follow the controversial path of Royal Never Give Up in 2022. At that time, RNG was also forced to fight at MSI's house and defeated the unbeaten squad of T1. One of the keywords associated with the event is “Ping 35” and the controversy about the honesty of each match with RNG has made Riot extremely headache.
Playing at home like RNG in 2022 can be controversial
Even, many LCK audiences at that time thought that Riot had “colluded” with RNG to make T1 unable to bring the MSI championship back to LCK. And now, Gen.G may suffer public opinion axes if they are forced to fight at home and win the championship (if possible). Remember, Riot itself had to fight back a few matches of RNG because of the issues related to this team fighting at home.
T1 was once thought to be the “victim” of Riot's allowed to fight at home
Perhaps, Riot and Gen.G will take measures to handle this situation. But at the present time, according to LPL media, hitting at home is the only way and also the best for the very sensitive case of Gen.G, once the defending champion LCK gives the capacity to MSI 2024.
