Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the World Game Exchange.
After the end of S14, all major regions have started to compete for the transfer period, and after T1 won the championship this year, it has had a huge impact on other teams in the China and South Korea divisions, and GEN on the LCK side is facing the crisis of disbandment.
I thought GEN would be unable to hold back, but what I didn't expect was that GEN came to a wave of Jedi overturns.
Here's the thing, after T1 won the championship, various leaks from the Korean Open showed that GEN was on the verge of disbandment, and it was very dangerous, the initial leaks showed that Canyon and Kanavi were both seeking offers from T1 teams, and HLE would abandon the top laner Doran, with the goal of bringing GEN's Kiin under his command.
At the same time, there were multiple teams competing for Chovy players in the LPL, and the situation at that time was that once Kiin joined HLE, GEN could fall apart.
The LPL side broke the news that WBG wants to replace the mid-laner, and the target is the left hand or the right hand.
There is a high probability that the left hand will renew the contract of BLG, and the WBG focus is on Chovy, which can be said to be an important plan of the LPL, if Chovy can be signed and weakened while weakening the strength of GEN, LCK may only have a strong team in T1, and HLE's jungler peanut will serve in the military, and it seems that the configuration is not this year's GEN.
Follow-up LCK broke news one after another, showing that GEN needs to climb the mountain several times to be able to keep the core lineup configuration, and the latest revelations show that GEN completed the Jedi turnaround and directly renewed the team's Kaminakano, that is, Kiin, Canyon and Chovy, once these three are set, then GEN's transfer period goal has been achieved.
After Kaminakano was confirmed, there was also news from Ruler's side, Ruler bluntly said that he would only consider the GEN team when he returned to the LCK, the former home team, so that the previous rumors of Ruler joining T1 were self-defeating, Ruler does have a strong sense of belonging to GEN, but GEN's attitude towards Ruler is obviously not so good.
Because in the transfer period two years ago, GEN chose to give up Ruler to protect Chovy, and Chovy's performance in the World Championship at that time was extremely outrageous, and Ruler was a real Samsung meritorious veteran, but I didn't expect GEN to give up Ruler in the end.
The reason is that GEN has a good seedling Peyz, and Peyz has indeed shown a very strong individual competitive state, but Peyz's performance in the tough battle has never been enough, and it is much worse than Ruler's peak.
Now in the official team list of OBGG, Ruler has been attributed to GEN, which seems to be a sure situation, if this is the case, the two top two basic disks of the LCK have also been preserved, which is not good news for the LPL, and what I have to admire is that the head of GEN is indeed capable, and it can be compared to Guo Hao in the LPL division.
GEN has been a team in recent years, that is, there are always problems on the world stage, especially Chovy, who has a very high lower limit, but is prone to make mistakes in top confrontations or choose a more extreme style of play, it seems that Chovy does not look like a really good leader, but Ruler has this quality.
Personally, I think Ruler's return to GEN will become more terrifying, of course, the premise is to look at Ruler's personal competitive state, last year in the LPL division Ruler showed a top level, but this year Ruler has declined, I don't know what will happen next year, if Ruler's state is online, there is no need to reach such a high peak, there is a chance to help GEN end T1.
You must know that the last time the team that ended Faker's three consecutive championships was the old Samsung, Faker won the championship in S5 and S6 for two consecutive years, but was swept by SSG on the S7 stage and fell to second place.
Personally, I think that next year's GEN can also carry out a strategic goal transfer, simply put, in this era when the S game is greater than everything, too much attention to other games, similar to the league or MSI, is not conducive to playing the S game, T1 is to put more energy into the S game, and now GEN is not short of league championships, and next year you can also learn from T1's approach.
