Gen.G Reveals Critical Weakness After Winning Against NS
Among the top teams in the LCK, Gen.G has been relatively disappointing so far. Even during the match commentary between this team and NS, the analysis desk at LCK Global bluntly stated that Gen.G is currently in their weakest state compared to the last two years. Therefore, many experts at LCK Global shared before the match that Gen.G would face numerous difficulties against NS.
And the match indeed proved this right as Gen.G had to struggle hard to defeat NS with a score of 3-2. In fact, during the decisive fifth game, there were moments when NS held a significant advantage to win, but the timely performances of Ruler and Chovy kept hope alive for Gen.G and helped the team “turn the tables” successfully. After the match, Ruler himself expressed dissatisfaction with the current strength of his team and admitted they are revealing critical weaknesses.
“I feel a bit embarrassed after this match because it is the result of a lack of cohesion. Before joining Gen.G, I anticipated this issue, but the actual situation is much worse. Moreover, I haven’t figured out how to effectively coordinate and operate with Duro. I will do my best to help Duro play better, communicate comfortably to improve the situation,” Ruler shared after the match against NS.
Defeat Seems to Await Gen.G
Indeed, after watching the recent match between Gen.G and NS, the audience could clearly see the lack of cohesion between Duro and Ruler. This made Gen.G’s bottom lane too weak in some games, severely affecting their ability to control the lower half of the map. Even when the match ended, the audience caught a glimpse of Duro holding his head in disappointment despite his team’s overall victory. Perhaps this young man himself understands that he just had an extremely poor performance.
It should be noted that Gen.G’s next opponent is a DK team that has been performing exceptionally well recently. Moreover, the duo Aiming and BeryL of DK also demonstrate excellent coordination both in fights and during the laning phase. If Ruler and Duro do not improve their coordination in the near future, it is very likely that the bottom lane will be the “Achilles’ heel” leading to Gen.G’s defeat in the lower bracket finals against DK.
