Gen.G’s Superstar Deserves the Title “Rare Support” in the League of Legends Scene
As it stands, the LCK Cup 2026 has reached its final matches, and the first confirmed name for the upcoming First Stand 2026 in Brazil is Gen.G – the team that has advanced to the finals of this season’s LCK tournament. The victory over BFX was not particularly surprising, as Gen.G displayed an almost flawless performance. In the picture approaching perfection of the reigning MSI champions, Duro is a name that has garnered much attention due to his brilliant display.
In all four games, Duro performed at an exceptional level, and in game four, using the champion Nautilus, he undoubtedly stood out as the most prominent player. There were at least two moments where Duro showcased his “godly” reflexes and experience to “outplay” the BNK stars. This allowed him to set the stage for Gen.G to counterattack and secure victories in fights that seemed to be against the odds.
Notably, at this very time last year, Duro was one of the most scrutinized players. The League of Legends community mocked the former star of BNK as a failed signing, asserting that he would drag Gen.G “downward.” But right after the First Stand that year, Gen.G entered the Regular Seasons, and Duro completely transformed. It can be said that currently, only Keria might surpass Gen.G’s player.
Duro – Keria Could Be the “New Rivalry” in the World of League of Legends
Looking at Duro’s champion pool and playstyle, you can clearly see the “shadow” of Keria. However, in a less pressured environment, with highly balanced teammates, Duro is showing a consistent performance throughout. He even has moments of brilliance that rival his counterpart on the other side of the battlefield.
Therefore, it is likely that in the future, alongside matchups like Chovy – Faker, Gumayusi – Ruler, or Canyon – Oner, the pairing of Keria – Duro will also be very noteworthy as both are outstanding superstars in their positions and have a significant impact on the game dynamics and outcomes.
