Gen.g's “shocking” failure
Before the Valorant's VCT Champions 2024 tournament, Gen.G is the team that is considered to have a very high rate that will win the championship. Simply because they won the VCT Master Shanghai and VCT Pacific Stage 2 in a convincing way. Even in the opening match in Champions, Gen.G also defeated Sentinels with a score of 2-0 too quickly to confirm the strength.
Gen.G was once considered a heavy candidate for the title of VCT Champions 2024
However, after only a few days after the victory above, Gen.G has dropped in a very confusing way. The first is the 1-2 defeat against the Heretics team and the latest is a weak defeat with a score of 0-2 when meeting the old opponent called Sentinels. This failure is really a “shock” to the audience as well as experts when one of the big candidates of the championship was eliminated from the group stage.
However, when meeting Sentinels again, Gen.G lost with a score of 0-2 and stopped right from the group stage
Bad signal for gen.g before Worlds 2024
It should be known that the journey of the two Gen.G Valorant and League teams this year is too similar. First, they were the same regional tournament champion, the LCK Spring 2024 and VCT Pacific Stage 2. Moreover, Gen.G also won an international tournament in the middle of the year held in China (MSI 2024 and VCT Master Shanghai). Therefore, many viewers think that ChoVy and his teammates will fail at Worlds 2024 like Gen.G Valorant collapsed at VCT Champions recently.
“Gen.G when entering an important match,” Choke “is exactly like the League of Legends team” – a humorous audience commentary
“If they (Gen.G League) cannot reach the semi -finals in Worlds, this organization must have DNA” Choke “and then another audience agrees
“This organization” choke “in the World Championship, League of Legends or Valorant is the same” – the community said that the failure of the Valorant team is the forecast for the fall of Gen.G at the upcoming Worlds
Remember in Worlds 2023, Gen.G also caused great disappointment when being eliminated from the quarterfinals despite being considered a championship candidate. The Gen.G gained 3 consecutive victories in the Swiss round brought a lot of confidence to fans and experts at that time. However, the unfortunate failure against BLG has made the audience extremely disappointed with Gen.G and believing in this team's “making things” in the World Worlds has greatly reduced.
Gen.G at Worlds 2023 was eliminated from the quarterfinals even though they were highly appreciated before the tournament took place
Therefore, when the Valorant team of Gen.G failed to be shame at VCT Champions 2024, the audience had more basis to lose confidence in this organization. Despite knowing that rationally, the results of the Valorant team have no evaluation value for the League of Legends team. However, the journey of the two Gen.G home teams is so similar this year has made fans unable to associate and think it is “bad omen” with Chovy and his teammates.
Gen.G Valorant's failure at VCT Champions 2024 made the belief where the audience put in this organization has reduced a lot.
In fairness, with the MSI 2024, Gen.G championship, it was certain that his name was in the biggest tournament of the year of Riot Games. This helps the team and teammates have more confidence and preparation time for the upcoming Worlds 2024. Perhaps only won the title of World Championship 2024, Gen.G can dispel suspicions towards himself.
