The Truth About Gen G

#1

reremus

I think they'll have a solid champs but I think its time teams caught up with them. Gen G hasn't been a serious competitor until only this year so I think a lot of teams underestimated them coming into this season. They looked terrifying in both Madrid and Shanghai, only losing internationally ONCE to SEN. That is actually insane.

They'll most likely make it out of groups but I think they won't get top 3 just due to the fact that they will have a huge target on their backs. They're one of the teams with the most footage and I think they'll get heavily antistratted. Yes teams tried that in Shanghai as well but this time around, every team looks to be at their best. I think they'll have a harder time at this international.

Regardless, they're going to be so fun to watch..

It makes perfect sense. More teams this event, more competitiveness. I'm not saying they're going to be terrible, but these past two events they've actually looked like they were smurfing. I think they'll just have more competition at Champs.

"Gen G hasn't been a serious competitor until only this year"

yeah, because it's their first year in this roster?

"They're one of the teams with the most footage and I think they'll get heavily antistratted"

as you said, same thing happened in Madrid, but GEN.G still was the best team by a landslide. they're also the most adaptable team in the scene right now

they're also insane in anti-stratting and throughout the year had great prep for all their opponents

You're just being super biased. Yes its their first year as a roster but so was the NRG roster yet they had all the hype and were immediately thought to be the favorites all year.

You go back and ask anyone at the start of the year and no one would've had Gen G on a list regardless of the roster changes.

They came out super strong and have dominated the whole year. But its braindead to keep putting them on a pedestal. I think Champs is the perfect playground to fully form as a team. They will face the best teams, no mickey mouse allegations, no excuses. My post is to say that they will face the biggest hurdles at this event and you're disagreeing?

I'm sorry but is this really braindead to put on the pedestal the best team of the year that went to 5 Grand Finals in a row, won one Masters and finished 2nd in the other?

also, how am I biased if I'm the fan of T1?

Did you not learn from FNC? They literally not only went to GFs but won almost every event. Yet what happened in Champs? I'm really not seeing what you're arguing against. I never once insulted the team or said that they're frauds etc. I just said they will have the hardest time at this international because there are more teams, all of them at their peak and they've been the best team so they'll have the biggest bullseye on them.

I'm not saying that GEN.G are invincible and I agree that they do have a bullseye on them, but they've shown throughout the year that

-they're insane at adaptation
-they have huge amounts of firepower to pull through tough games
-their coaching staff is goated
-they have great midround calls

so I'm not trying to discard them, they'll finish at the pedestal again in my opinion

Who brought up discarding lol. I'm just saying that I think a lot of people will be surprised. Champs has historically always been a toss up. Almost every year, the favorites don't win. Gambit, FNC, Optic etc. I'm expecting upsets. Regardless, I think Gen G still perform well, just not to their invincible standard.

when did geng get mickey mouse allegations? i’ve seen WAY more sentinels mickey mouse allegations than geng and if you don’t think they’ll win champs that’s understandable but all their players are super solid (+lakia of valorant) and while they might be slow to adapt to new maps they can still win out games and are probably the best team rn at converting disadvantageous situations into a winning round. they will face the biggest hurdles just like sen did at kickoff and madrid and make it out. if anyone can do that it’s them, i don’t think you should be worried. if you’re worried about them placing 4th like fnatic did last year (which isn’t bad at all mind you) then i still think you shouldn’t worry

Again, I'm not sure if you guys are reading my post or are just trolling. I never said they were a weak team, or are frauds or any of the shit you're bringing up. You guys are arguing against me saying that they will face the most competition at Champs. I personally don't think they'll win, but will still play super solid. They obviously very well could come out on top, and you're correct if it was to be any team, it'd be them. I just think Champs is always a toss up historically.

I think if Gen.G can get their 7 map pool back (hopefully their Abyss is good) they have a really good shot at making it far

They are the favorites for sure. I just want it to be more competitive and that's what I'm hoping for. With more teams, and those teams being at their best. I want to see some fucking haymakers in matches. Not a finals like Shanghai, where it was "close" but not really.

To add on top of that, I'm hoping for a finals with the same competitiveness as SEN vs Gen G. I truly believe that was the best finals I've ever watched. Regardless of who would've won, every single round was fought so hard, even I was exhausted after the match ended.

Did you watch FNATIC vs LOUD GF by any chance? or FPX vs PRX

Yes I have but to be honest, the only map that was close was the Icebox map. The comeback was fun to watch but the intensity in my opinion ramped up in just map 5. The Gen G and SEN series felt like that the whole map. Gen G literally looked unbeatable.

GenG are very beatable, it’s very odd to me that people act like they’re invincible

I mean I understand why people think that but at the end of the day, we've seen upsets and new teams rising up. To hold them to such a high standard is probably exhausting to the players.

Unfortunately they are going against Sentinels. Their kryptonite.
