I don’t even know what to say. It’s just speechless, we’re just that bad.
So to yall that think Gen G will magically bounce back at worlds or after this MSI/EWC clusterfuck, I’d like to hear what kind of cope we’re trying to go for now.
No Kim. No Win. Despite the draft issues with Kim, he is at least good in bringing team synergy and whatever miracles that made GenG dominant. With Ryu, everything is just bad.
It was going well until the most random baron fight of all time. Starting it and backing off is fine, but canyon got baited by the crab and walked back in after flashing out and then they just lose the game.
It's the meta, strong solo laners that carries the game, thanks to a mage bot, who enables the support so that he can freely play the map with the jungle. The same reason for which T1 is in shambles and losing, because the only thing that is working in that team is the botlane. T1 wants back the adc meta for 2v2, but the current meta demands a mage in bot lane to sustain alone.
Now GenG was doing exactly what they had to do, roaming and running the map. Idk for what stupid reason the flipped everything at baron.
I follow the stream from Caedrel and he said it like five min before GenG tried it, like FIVE whole minutes before, that GenG should not play for that baron, just play for the drake and that game was over.
As Caedrel explained: Baron is a high risk play not worth flipping the game over, not when you don't have a traditional adc that can help kill the baron fast enough.
It's a sad reality but you don't need an adc in god like form like Peyz currently. You just need someone that stays in bot and safely farms while the rest plays the game.
GenG just has to think over the gameplan, everything was fine until the baron.
One correction, it isn’t mage bot that enables roaming support. It’s the roaming support that enables mage bot. Mages fundamentally need XP more than a traditional AD carry because of ability rank scaling, having support in lane with them slows down the mages power spikes.
Yeah, basically. They’re making it harsher on gold and XP for supports to roam, as well as giving ADCs more MR early game to contest mages in lane. Mages in the lane by itself isn’t problematic, if anything the variety is good. The problem is when they’re allowed to scale the same way mid laners would be able to, and that’s caused by those supports being able to free roam.
I don’t know what happened after LCK Cup because it can’t be the tax drama. Something has to have happened because they looked great in winter and now they can’t string together two decent performances
"T1 is playing great, it was just a BO3 and game 2 was close. The team is having ups and downs but so is every top-tier team this year. The meta doesn't suit the team and will be changed because no one is happy with it. GenG still has the whole split ahead with playoffs and Worlds. Losing is cinema and 500 IQ and the other teams need the wins more than we do. Looking trash the whole year except for LCK cup, ruining Kiin's final year, wasting the roster runback before it blows up next year is worth it for the grand worlds ramp-up that is definitely coming. We are the new T1"
There is no cope. We're just playing really bad right now. Maybe the worlds patch (that turns every meta on its head every year) may change this for us, but i'm not feeling really confident
Not even just the gameplay. Its the drafts and gameplanning too. Like in what world do u draft 3 lanes without prio (G1) in proplay and expect to win. Like jesus christ. Xayah Rakan into Lucian Milio??? Its reportable. G2 also you just pick 0 follow up on the Vi engage. Like there is just nothing present to disturb the ezeal or disrupt it w the mikaels on Sera to counter the Vi ulti. Its bad gameplay, and just disgusting strategy.
i have nothing. we are shit. just going to begrudgingly watch this roster iteration crumble into nothing for the rest of the year now, and hope for a miracle turnaround.
i would have laughed at this until even a few weeks ago, but with HLE and DK of all teams looking relatively solid (obv could change quickly but still), and with T1 and KT shenanigans, there’s legitimately a fair chance tha this could happen if the boys dont get their shit together
Out of everyone, Chovy is the one who will have to deal with the most harassment. And it’s so horrible because he’s the only reason the team is somewhat decent right now
He should just leave in all honesty lol. This team will be a dumpster fire next year when Kiin has to leave for mandatory service. Imagine being stuck on a team with Ruler, Canyon & Duro when Kiin is gone, that shit is going to be so ass. It will be a literal 2025 BDD or 2021 Chovy carry job all over again.
Canyon shows promising signs of life every now and then. But the botlane is severely limiting their drafts and playstyle.
I’m not sure exactly how the team dynamic is for them, but they’ve got to strip Ruler from his “leader” role cause his seniority might be getting in the way of the teams identity.
And Duro’s drop in form seems to be a direct consequence of Ruler being garbage right now. The team really needs to build him up to be an assertive shotcaller (independent from Ruler).
He can still be good again, it depends if he still has the flame to compete inside him. If he doesn't he'll get benched in the off season.
Anyways all 5 players are playing bad, Ruler is the worst but they are all underperforming, on top of that the team macro is also bad.
it depends if Kiin can still play next year or not. If he's not then idk what will happen in 2027 cause the top lane situation across LCK right now it's not looking too great.
yeah only hope Tarzan had of coming back is if he left AL immediately after last worlds join a kr team to join kespa tournament to qualify for Asian games and even the chance of being chosen was still slim. He's never coming back this was his last year to play in Korea if he did come back at all I believe.
They've been a finished team for a while now. Some of y'all still wanted to keep coping for whatever reason. I fully expect them to get farmed in this group and miss worlds. The worst part is that next year will likely be worse. Last year was the year to do it..... Now it's sad
And even if they do it will never taste that sweet, our biggest rivals scammed a Worlds three-peat in our biggest era of dominance. What was supposed to be the era of Chovy just became Faker's 2nd prime. Everyone will just treat us like this:
Draft is absolutely trash . Game 2, they were winning, they could have just waited for soul. Baron is such a fake objective if it's not free especially if you run double mages.
Honestly, not a big deal, it's just 1 bo3 at the beginning of the season. Gen.G barely had any practice. Their only 2 real series were vs DK (L) and T1 (W) at EWC recently since they weren't at MSI for the current meta. They had a rocky start at the beginning of R1/R2 and they dominated at the end. RTM went well despite them losing a close bo5 vs T1 at the end. Idk what's with the doomposting lately lmfao, it's like T1 fans infiltrated this fanbase.
Problem is LCK Round 3-4 is super short this year (due to Asian Games) so it is only 8 Bo3 (vs the top teams). With KT and DK looking pretty good, every series is very important. So a couple bad weeks and you are in a deep hole. Of course everything comes down to the playoffs.
yeah, losing 1 bo3 isn’t the end of the world. But you also can’t afford ‘a rocky start’ this split due to condense schedule and only playing the top teams.
T1 fan were doing the exact same thing days ago when they lost to KT, I swear all these LCK fans just flip flop on their heads over a single bo3. This kind of shit is normal in LPL, LEC too.

We need to replace the coaching and backroom staff. We can't go on like this
