With the LCK shifting to a single-season format this year, Gen.G once again sat atop the throne after taking down Hanwha Life Esports. If you’re looking for the architect of this victory, look no further than Park 'Ruler' Jae-hyuk. During the battle for a finals ticket against kt, he racked up over 10 kills on both Corki and Jhin, a form he carried right into the grand final against Hanwha Life.

The real masterclass, however, was in the fourth game of the finals. Gen.G looked to be in dire straits after suffering a dragon steal, but they regained their composure during a Baron teamfight. Then, at the next Baron spawn, 'Ruler' pulled off a clutch Baron steal that turned the entire match on its head. It’s absurd to think he’s the oldest active marksman in the league; his performance defies his age. We’re all holding our breath to see what he brings to the World Championship starting 14 October.
