Gen.G beat Hanwha Life e-Sports to advance to the quarterfinals. The team avenged its defeat in the LoL Champions Korea Summer Final last month. Gen.G, who became the first LCK team to win three games, is now heading to Paris.
Gen.G won the set-score 2-1 against Hanwha Life in the third round of the Swiss Stage of the “2024 LoL World Championship (LOL World Cup)” at Riot Games Arena in Berlin, Germany on the 6th (Korea time). Gen.G started nervously by giving up the first set, but gained the upper hand in the operation and combat of the second and third set lines, writing a reversal drama of “loss, victory, and victory.”
Hanwha Life Insurance dominated the first set. “Zeka” Kim Gun-woo’s Yone and “Viper” Park Do-hyun’s Kaisa finished the game in 30 minutes.
Gen. G., who allowed another set defeat even before the pain of the summer final defeat healed. Gen. G took “Aura-Nocturne-Ari” to the upper body in all the first to third sets, as if to prove that their picks were not wrong.
His tenacity worked well. Early in the second set, Gen. G flew by without a line swap (exchange) and focused before the line without much trouble. Gen. G gained the upper hand in the fight against objects, taking the first dragon to the five larvae of the void. When Gen. G. posted his first kill around the 13th minute, Hanwha Life fought back and balanced it.
Gen.G was not in a hurry. He responded calmly and piled up the dragon stack. Hanwha Life Insurance tried to stop Gen.G while building the third dragon stack, but rather lost the battle by giving up a kill. Gen.G also overwhelmed Hanwha Life in the battle.
After winning the battle over Baron, Gen.G. also won the battle of the fourth spirit dragon, taking the lead. Gen.G, who showed an ace in the battle in front of the elder dragon, then advanced to Hanwha Life Insurance’s main camp and destroyed Nexer, tying the game.
The three sets that will determine “Train to Paris.” Gen. G’s upper body combination was the same as Aurora, Nocturne, and Arro. The variable was Twitch that Kim Soo-hwan took out. Twitch, which appeared for the first time in a long time, was the key to the victory.
Hanwha Life Insurance started off laughing. Hanwha Life Insurance posted two kills with a bottom dive in the beginning. However, “Canion” Kim Geon-bu did not look at this. Kim Geon-bu took advantage of his fast growth to catch the larvae of the void and caught Park Do-hyun, Hanwha Life’s long-distance dealer through the bottom gang.
A tight race ensued. The battle was unfolded as the kill score was also balanced. Gen.G also gained the upper hand in the object battle, quickly stacking up the dragon stack in the third set. While Gen.G was acquiring the third dragon, a massive battle took place, and he launched an ace thanks to Kim Soo-hwan’s Twitch performance. The moment Gen.G clearly took the lead.
Hanwha Life Insurance also fought back and chased after him, but it was not enough. One stroke took place around the 26th minute for Baron, and after Gen.G. “Canion” Kim Geon-bu succeeded in stealing Baron, the team won the battle. Gen.G took the lead. In the battle held at the tower around the 32nd minute, Gen.G once again launched an ace, advanced to the main camp, destroying the Nexus, and sealed the victory.
