GEN 2:0 BFX
Such a strong showing from every player. If we get this chemistry and pace against T1 on Saturday, then KT might be in danger of not getting back into 2nd place.
Also, redemption for Kiin on the Vayne!
POM goes to Chovy with a K/D/A of 14/1/15, he's sitting at 700 points in Rounds 1-2!
GEN 1:0 BFX
BFX started off well, but then completely threw the game during that Herald fight, after which GEN's team comp just took over the game and nothing could be done to salvage it.
Also, Chovy penta!
I feel such an unbreakable bond with photographs of harsh, freezing winter conditions in forest, mountains or just more isolated nature settings in general, but mostly forests and mountains.
I can't explain it, but the perceived miserable conditions of freezing cold out in the wilderness of nature, similar to those portrayed in movies such as The Revenant and The Grey give me a deep sense of comfort and in a strange way feeling of 'home', bringing me to tears sometimes.
Does anyone else feel the same or something similar?
Gen.G now has a 1 game lead over KT. 19-8 vs. 18-8. I hope they can keep this up and keep winning 2-0 against everyone to make some separation from KT.
Edit: Typo with losses.
Result: GEN 2:0 KRX
Gen.G improves their team record to 9-3 and extend their series win streak to 6.
They will face BFX and T1 next week.
Result: Gen.G Esports 2:0 Nongshim RedForce
Game 1: Nongshim played really well deep into mid-game and was on the brink of winning until a huge team fight broke out in Gen.G's base on the back of a Kiin's Renekton teleport flank, catching Diable's Ezreal off-guard. Gen.G ended up taking Baron afterwards, winning the 5v5 fight and finishing the Nexus in 42 minutes!

Game 2: Canyon, that's it, that's the summary of the whole game. Canyon woke up during his post-game 1 bathroom break and chose violence, with a sprinkle of domination. He was everywhere on the map, single handedly created a big early game lead and was a menace in team fights for the rest of the game.

Player of the series: Chovy (600 Points, leading the LCK)
I've been meaning to open a thread similar to this for a few weeks now, because this is unfamiliar territory for Gen.G fans. We are used to the team being at the top, barely even losing individual games, let alone dropping entire series'.
As per current standings, Gen.G is sitting in 3rd place with a record of 7-3, behind HLE and KT, ahead of T1 and DK, who are just slightly behind as well.
How do you feel about the team's overall performance, synergy, drafting after 5 weeks and how concerned are you going into the final 4 weeks of this split?
Personally I don't really know what to think about the way this team has been playing so far. They are making uncharacteristic mistakes, macro and micro, Kiin, Canyon and Duro have been inconsistent this whole time and if it wasn't for Chovy cosplaying Atlas himself, holding the franchise on his shoulders, I can imagine the team being in the bottom 5 and looking at a Rise Group spot by the end of Rounds 1-2.
I'm a "little" late with this post, but better late than never as they say.
The boys were able to pull off a series win, beating KRX 2-1. Chovy was great, as always.
The team is facing off with KRX tomorrow at 10:00 AM CET and DK on Saturday at the same time.
How are we feeling about both series? An e-mail and a back and forth series?
Beating DK would give us some separation as we're currently only 1 individual game ahead of them, holding onto that 4th spot.
A strong 2-0 to lift the vibes. That's good news and I hope they keep playing like they're actually having fun and enjoying the game.
GG WP to NS.
This is the GEN I'm used to seeing. I hope this creates a trend for the rest of the series and GEN pick up where they left off at LCK Cup.
GG WP to NS, they are a formidable foe.
