🎉 Let's Go Gen.G! 🎉

Gen.G, rise up and fight,
Show your power, show your might!
Meteor's aim is straight and true,
With Munchkin and T3xture, you can't lose!

Lakia's strategies, sharp as a blade,
Every round, every move, perfectly played!
On this battlefield, you'll make your mark,
Light up the stage, ignite the spark!

From the first shot to the final spike,
With every round, we'll cheer with all our might!
Gen.G, you're our shining star,
In Shanghai's Masters, you'll go far!

Push through the rounds, stay on top,
Gen.G, we'll cheer until we drop!
Victory is within your reach,
Let's show Leviatán how we breach!

Gen.G, Gen.G, hear our cheer,
For the win, we're all right here!
In Valorant, you're the best,
Now go out there and ace the test!

Go Gen.G! 💪🔫🏆

With courage in their hearts, they touch the sky.
kiNgg, tex, Mazino, C0M in the ring,
And aspas, the king, let victory sing.

Underwhelming match. Not much back-and-forth. Convincing win for LEV on Icebox then GenG just stomped them into the ground. Aspas worked his ass off and made the match a bit exciting. It was depressing to see Aspas with 20+ kills and his team all in the single ditches on Breeze.
