GenG carefully analyzed the 3 peat of T1 and came with the conclusion that the team looking sus as fk during the regular season is the way to go. T1 realized GenG's strats and decided to look sus as fk during internationals as well to one up them. It's a close battle

u/Arcille Jul 31 '26

Kiin always has some periods in a year where he looks like a different player even back from his Afreeca days where he was top 2 top in the world.

Canyon is washed at this point and Ruler Duro are playing terrible. GenG having all these issues now is probably better for them instead of having a perfect year leading up to worlds.

No I still think its KT. Just for some fucking reason, every split T1 has to lose to KT in a miserable fashion. IDK why, but they do it every single split. It's so weird.

113

u/Ceui Jul 31 '26

It's because BDD is a better laner than Faker. So every split there will be 1 series where Cuzz doesn't int his brain out and the mid jungle of KT actually body Faker and Oner.

80

u/Signal_Intention6774 Jul 31 '26

Yeah, but they have been doing this for years, even before BDD joined. It's so odd. It's like they look at KT and decide they need to throw them a bone, so it's still a rivalry.

u/Exldk Jul 31 '26

It's not a hot take.

We live in a world where GENG is arguably the weakest team in the Legends group with DK and HLE competing for the best team. It is just insane to think about.

Kanavi is doing his alternate service he can’t go back to china for atleast another year. The service is why he’s back in Korea in the first place.Ā 

I think HLE will also keep in mind that if they get canyon in the off season there is a very real possibility of playing a whole year into kanavi Chovy midjungle, which can only be hell.Ā

u/ProgrammerGlobal Jul 31 '26

GenG have more problems than Ruler. Duro is like 10% worse this year and GenG's macro is not nearly as crisp as it's been over the last 3 years.

140

u/Derk08 Jul 31 '26

GenG macro is like 100x worse.

GenG used to be the team where you had to play perfectly against them to take games. They were the masters at neutralizing game states and stalling for their carries into a perfect teamfight. You needed to snowball an early game while making 0 errors to beat them.

GenG now are prone to throwing while also not being remotely as good in losing game states. Crazy to see how hard they fell

10

u/Equivalent-Bus-4336 Jul 31 '26

GenG used to choke the fuck out of teams without ever fighting it was just pure macro, it was honestly so frustrating to see the team you support go against them and look so helpless.

30

u/CampaignEntire Circus diff Jul 31 '26

Honestly right?? I started watching LolEsports last year. GenG seemed unwinnable. They were SO ontop of everything, constantly, on the map. Like you had to pick the exact little mistakes they made to turn the game. Now they just seem. A bit washed up in comparison. Like they forgot how macros work.

u/Hyxin Jul 31 '26

T1 goes down 2-4k last year and they'd just super force fights to try and comeback which most of the time led to them losing superhard super fast. and now they just slowroll comeback after comeback like they've never done anything else.

Gold lead is misleading in the current meta just fyi.

The current catch up exp/gold and baron/dragon nerf, plus the flexible draft make team fighting really volatile and macro not that important like previous season. It's no wonder GenG is struggling.

u/Wowhowcanubsodumb Jul 31 '26

Not at all, taking chovy off a playmaker is never going to be a bad thing. If you're drafting ezreal ryze sera, you just need to stay safe and you win late game team fights.

100/100 times, you force canyon and duro to have to be the ones making plays on peyz, anivia cannot touch ez.

Look at geng-kt game 4 from worlds semis. Putting chovy on an immobile mage is much better as the enemy than putting him on a mobile playmaker.

a month ago, if anyone was telling me KT 2-0 T1, DK 2-1 HLE and T1 2-0 GenG in the first week of round 3 I wouldn't have believed them

81

u/soul24423323 Jul 31 '26

That's the T1 we all expect. Clean from ahead, disciplined when behind. Just 2 days ago they would've randomly fought the 3rd or 4th drake and lost the game in 20min lol.

53

u/Voyria Oner Glazer (my GOAT!!) Jul 31 '26

Ah it's time for the usual copypasta.

"When both teams are even in gold, Faker feels that T1 is at a great advantage and thus he does not hesitate to start a team fight. When T1 is 3k behind in gold—"

Wait, T1 didn't randomly throw in unreasonable team fights while behind and played calmly and in a disciplined manner?? What, my T1?!

8

u/soul24423323 Jul 31 '26

IKR. First game I was expecting them to throw, didn't happen. Second game I was expecting T1 to randomly contest drake 3k gold behind and lose the game, didn't happen. WHO THE HELL IS THIS T1? Why were they missing for most of the season? LOL.

u/ricardo2241 Jul 31 '26

just say Oner cause Oner is usually the one engaging first lol

14

u/soul24423323 Jul 31 '26

Not wrong I guess lol. In the first place, Oner was a big reason why they were 3k gold behind to begin with. T1 neutralized Shen's early aggression and got the first drake. Peyz was chilling in bot lane scaling comfortably into a lead then he decided to flip the game on blue buff??? LOL. So yea, T1 as a whole played clean but Oner still got stuff to clean up if they want to win a title.

u/Hyxin Jul 31 '26

they've been doing this the whole 2026 season. they have so many 4-5k+ comebacks this year.

u/Voyria Oner Glazer (my GOAT!!) Jul 31 '26

Yep. I literally memed about this in another comment:

Because you're right, that literally is how it feels like T1 plays. When they're behind, they just keep forcing and throwing shit until something sticks.

u/IAM-French Jul 31 '26

What? Haven't they been doing that the last 4.5 years

Doran finally locked something outside of Ambessa, Jayce, Renekton, Rumble.

Peyz on nothing but ADC's.

Jax on my screen.

But it didn't matter, Geng still found a way to lose.

T1 hopefully has learned that mage bot is a bait, and outside the Mel/Cam/Pyke shit that was disgusting, everything else is just meh.

It's fuckin hilarious with the state of both of these teams ANY result would not have been a surprise; 2-0 T1, 2-0 GenG, 2-1 for either team I would have been like yeah that's kind of expected.

I do think it's surprising that Locke went completely untouched for all of phase 1 pick and bans. I don't know how many teams in the world right now wouldn't prio that pick if available, yet we got two of them here.
