Gen.G Makes History with a Four-Peat LCK Spring Split Championship

0 comments

In the finals of the 2024 LCK Spring Split, Gen.G and T1 engaged in a fierce five-game series, culminating in Gen.G's 3-2 victory over T1 to claim the championship title. This win not only marks Gen.G's fourth consecutive LCK championship but also an unprecedented achievement in LCK history, surpassing the previous three-peat records held by SKT and DWG.

Tactical Choices with Fire Dragon Soul
Gen.G secured an early advantage with the Fire Dragon Soul but, following a critical team fight where top laner Kiin fell, they made the sensible decision to forgo contesting the Baron Nashor while at a numerical disadvantage. This strategic choice set them up for a subsequent team fight victory, which solidified Gen.G's lead in the series.



T1's Trust in Meta vs. Gen.G's Trust in Players
In the pivotal deciding game, T1 chose to trust the current meta, fielding a lineup considered to be the strongest combination of champions, including Ziggs, Twisted Fate, Lucian and Braum. Conversely, Gen.G placed their confidence in their star players Chovy and Peyz, who played Azir and Kai'Sa, respectively, supported by a sturdy top and jungle tank frontline.



Faker and T1's Ongoing Challenge
Despite having the legendary mid-laner Faker on their team, T1 still could not defeat Gen.G in the LCK finals. Since the 2022 Spring Split, this marks the fifth time T1 has faced Gen.G in the LCK finals, with only one victory to their name in the initial match, followed by four consecutive losses. Even after winning the S13 World Championship, T1 seems to struggle against the revamped Gen.G back in the LCK.

Gen.G's Outlook for MSI
Gen.G's triumph not only earned them the accolade of the 2024 LCK Spring Split champions but also secured their position as the first seed from LCK at the MSI. T1, on the other hand, will attend MSI as the second seed. Both teams will showcase LCK's might on the international stage.

Kiin's Dream-Fulfilling Moment
For Gen.G's top laner, Kiin, this championship holds significant meaning. Since his debut in the 2017-2018 season, Kiin has been regarded as one of the strongest top laners of the new era in Korea. After leaving his old team, Afreeca Freecs, where he couldn't achieve notable results, he transferred to Gen.G at the end of last year. This championship is his first in several years, realizing his dream and bringing him to tears of joy.



Conclusion
Gen.G's latest championship once again confirms their dominance in the LCK and adds more excitement to the upcoming MSI. Fans are looking forward to the performance of Gen.G and T1 on the international stage, eager to see if they can continue LCK's strong performance on a global level. Congratulations to Gen.G, and best wishes for further success at the MSI!
