The LCK Summer 2021 is heading into its final matches before the playoffs. Although the top 6 has been determined, in reality, until the matches conclude, no one knows what might happen, especially since the goal of the top 6 is not only the playoffs but also the LCK Spring Championship and a ticket to the World Championship in China. However, for Gen.G, they are facing numerous backstage troubles just ahead of a major battle with T1.
Specifically, yesterday, July 30 (Vietnam time), a “final notice” from the fans of this team was found, addressed to the management regarding the players’ performance and gameplay, as well as the controversies surrounding the lack of communication with fans and the opacity of revenue and expenses… This can be seen as a “wake-up call” right before the playoffs, as Gen.G, since taking over Samsung Galaxy, has had a “tradition” of poor performance during the most crucial phase of the season.
Today, July 31 (Vietnam time), Gen.G’s official website once again surprised and confused the fans of this team by announcing that their headquarters in Seoul had been breached by an armed intruder.
According to the report, this incident may have been occurring for several days, with actions typically involving the intruder being armed or waiting for players to return late at night (when players typically come and go…). The announcement also stated that the team had contacted the police for intervention and pledged to actively deal with any impersonation of staff or anonymous threats to the players’ personal safety.
Such actions as sending “final notices” or breaching the team’s headquarters, as well as stalking players… by some fans will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the players’ morale, especially with tough matchups ahead for Gen.G. Apart from Fredit BRION, who is at the bottom of the standings, they will face formidable opponents like T1, DWG KIA, and Nongshim RedForce. And it is not out of the question that with the pressure weighing heavily on them, Gen.G might face another winless season despite the team currently holding a rather impressive ranking in the group stage.
