Gen.G has been absolutely relentless in the global League of Legends esports arena this year. They clinched the trophy at the last MSI by taking down T1, and shortly after, they secured another victory at the Esports World Cup (EWC) by edging out the Chinese powerhouse Anyone's Legend (AL) in a tense 3-2 series. It is a firm reminder that Gen.G stands as the undisputed kings of the rift.

At this year's EWC, 'Kiin' Kim Gi-in and 'Chovy' Jeong Ji-hoon were simply a class apart. 'Kiin' earned the MVP award for that characteristic, unshakable consistency and the sort of super plays that drag a team out of the fire. 'Chovy' dominated the laning phase throughout the tournament, balancing offence and defence like a true ace. The synergy between Kiin and Chovy felt like a tactical masterclass in 'pressing football', leaving no room for their opponents to breathe. Despite the punishing schedule of moving straight from MSI to EWC, the pair delivered a performance that left Korean fans absolutely buzzing.
