0:2 (Gen.G)

Glad to meet you on EGamersWorld.

The group stage of LCK Spring 2024 continues. We are talking about the last week before the start of the small "vacation" on the South Korean League of Legends scene.

In one of the matches of the last round of games, we are about to watch the duel between Gen.G and FearX. And although the game, at first glance, seems quite ordinary, its importance cannot be underestimated.

Gen.G wants to solidify their position at the top of the group table, from where they were temporarily displaced by T1. FearX, on the other hand, are trying to make it to the top six in order to play in the playoffs of LCK Spring 2024.

Let's figure out who will be stronger in the FearX – Gen.G match and earn an important victory on the eve of the slot distribution for the playoffs.

Let's go.

Form of Gen.G

Let's start the match analysis with an analysis of Gen.G's game form. In this match, the Korean team is playing as the first seed, with the odds of winning around 1.03.

In the 2022 season, Gen.G secured 2nd place in LCK Spring 2022 and won LCK Summer 2022, then went on to Worlds 2022, where they dramatically lost in the match for the grand final. However, this didn't shake their position much at the start of the 2023 season.

In 2023, Gen.G confidently won LCK Spring 2023, leaving no chance for T1 in the grand final. They had slightly less luck at MSI 2023, where Bilibili Gaming surprisingly didn't allow the champions of Korea to advance to the final.

Gen.G's lineup: Kiin, Canyon, Chovy, Peyz, Lehends.

In LCK Summer 2023, Gen.G easily made it to the playoffs. Throughout the group stage, the Korean titans only lost 2 series, ultimately finishing second in the group stage table with a score of 16-2.

In their first playoff match, Gen.G crushed HLE. An easy 3-0, and now Gen.G is ready to make it to the final of the league for the second time in a row.

The grand final – a rematch of the match to get here. In the last round, Gen.G defeated T1 with a score of 3-2 in a very difficult series, and I think the final will be the same.

And they succeeded in the grand final as well. Moreover, even easier than in the match to get here: Gen.G became the champion of the LCK summer split by defeating T1 with a score of 3-1.

In Worlds 2023, Gen.G started with a confident victory over Gam Esports. It was quick and painful for Gam: 22 minutes and only 5 kills for the Vietnamese.

In the match to secure a spot, Gen.G played against their colleagues, and at the same time, their fiercest competitors, T1. The South Korean derby, like the last 4, ended in favor of Gen.G, as Chovy with his Akali left no chance for T1.

Gen.G made it to the playoffs of Worlds 2023 with a score of 3-0. In their final group stage match, they played against G2 Esports and, as expected, easily defeated the Europeans with a score of 2-0.

Being one of the favorites of Worlds 2023, Gen.G couldn't handle the burden of responsibility and lost in the first round of the playoffs, losing to BLG.

In their first match of LCK Spring 2024, Gen.G awaits a test against T1. I am sure the reigning champions of LCK will proudly pass it, as historically Gen.G is strong against the champions of Worlds 2023 at home. Following this, Gen.G will play against Nongshim RedForce, where they should outplay their counterparts not without difficulty.

At the end of the first half of LCK Spring 2024, Gen.G is aiming for the top spot. Before the match starts, they have 7 wins in 8 matches.

Gen.G's Most Popular Champions

The most popular champion in the top lane is Gnar (10 games, 90% win rate). Jayce appeared 8 times, with a win rate of 87%. Kennen played 4 times and won all matches, KSante 4 times with 3 wins, Renekton 4 times with 2 wins.

In the jungle, Vi (11 games, 72% win rate), Sejuani (10 games, 80% win rate), Wukong (7 games, 85% win rate), Lee Sin (6 games, 83% win rate) were picked.

In the mid lane, Azir (13 games, 69% win rate), Gragas (6 games, 100% win rate), Kassadin (5 games, 100% win rate), Viktor (4 games, 75% win rate) were popular picks.

The most popular marksman is Lucian (12 games, 83% win rate). Following him are Varus (8 games, 87% win rate), Caitlyn (5 games, 100% win rate), Xayah (4 games, 75% win rate).

Supports Nami (13 games, 84% win rate), Ashe, and Lux have 4 games each with a 100% win rate.

FearX's Form

Let's analyze FearX's game form. In this match, the team will play as the second seed, with the odds of winning around 8.

FearX is a relatively new name in the LCK scene. The team shone in the competitive scene back in 2018, but made it to LCK 2024 through the merger of Liiv Sandbox and SANDBOX Gaming, so when analyzing FearX, we will rely on this.

Having been in the competitive scene since 2018, they started playing in LCK from 2019. At first, they were in the Top 5 in LCK Spring 2019, then Top 4 in LCK Summer 2019 and Top 3 in the Regional Finals 2019, which wasn't enough to qualify for Worlds 2019.

There was a series of poor performances and playing in the Tier-A tournaments. The situation began to change in 2021 when FearX, still Liiv Sandbox, took Top 4 at the regional finals.

Things went well in 2022 when SANDBOX was on the verge of Worlds. First, they took Top 3 in LCK Summer 2022, and then Top 3 in Regional Finals, losing to DRX with a score of 2-3 and failing to qualify for Worlds. By the way, DRX won Worlds that year, just like that.

2023, however, was a failure, after a rather decent performance in the previous season. They were Top 6 in LCK Spring 2023 and Top 7 in LCK Summer 2023.

FearX's lineup: Clear, Willer, Clozer, Hena, Execute.

FearX made significant changes to the roster during the transfer window in November 2023. That's when Clear, Clozer, Hena, and Execute joined the team, with the only player from the previous roster being the jungler Willer.

Before the FearX – Gen.G game, FearX has 3 wins and 6 losses.

FearX's Most Picked Champions

The most popular champion in the top lane remains KSante (7 games, 42% win rate). Also picked are Gnar (6 games, 83% win rate), Fiora (5 games, 60% win rate).

In the jungle, there's nothing fundamentally new: Sejuani (7 games, 57% win rate), Wukong (6 games, 66% win rate), Maokai (4 games, 100% win rate).

In the mid lane, the favorite champion of the patch is Azir (7 games, 85% win rate). Besides him, Akali (4 games, 25% win rate), Sylas (4 games, 75% win rate) are picked.

The most picked marksman is Varus (6 games, 66% win rate). Lucian (4 games, 100% win rate) and Ashe with Caitlyn (3 games each and 66% win rate) are also popular.

Among the supports, Heimerdinger (5 games, 60% win rate), Karma (4 games, 50% win rate), Ashe (3 games, 66% win rate), and Nami (3 games, 100% win rate) stand out.
