Gen.G is a team who always reached close but weren't able to touch glory. In fact, 2022 was probably the most successful year for Gen.G as an organization as the roster grabbed the LCK 2022 Summer Split title. DWG KIA, on the other hand, is a team that is forged to win.

Preview of Gen.G vs DWG KIA at League of Legends Worlds 2022 Quarterfinals

Predictions

Gen.G have had a really good time at League of Legends Worlds 2022 so far. The team look pretty solid in every department and have showcased some really high-quality gameplay even amongst the LCK teams.

One of the key facets that makes Gen.G so good is that they are extremely potent in the laning phase. Chovy and Ruler barely lose their lanes, which means that by 15 to 20 minutes, the team develops an insurmountable amount of gold advantage.

This leads Gen.G to set up quite well around objectives such as Baron Nashor or the Dragons. As a result, it becomes difficult for the opposing team to do anything but suffer an eventual defeat.

DWG KIA, on the other hand, are not as versatile as Gen.G, but are perfect with the one plan that they love to execute. In other words, the team is toplane-focused, and as long as it is giving carry champions to Nuguri, they picks up wins.

The botlane for DWG KIA is very average, but when there is a midlaner like Showmaker and a jungler like Canyon, it hardly matters what the botlane does. Unfortunately, if Showmaker loses the lane or Nuguri is unable to capitalize, DWG KIA starts fading out.

This leads to poor teamfights, which is also the part where DWG KIA is supposed to gain the most success.

Thus, when it comes to predictions, this is quite an easy one. As mentioned earlier, DWG KIA needs to ensure that their midlane and toplane shine. Unfortunately, Gen.G has equally strong players in Chovy and Doran on both those lanes.

Apart from that, Peanut is as capable a jungler as Canyon. So, there's a chance that DWG KIA will choke eventually, and even if they ar able to keep the mid and top stable, they will lose out heavily in the botlane.

Hence, Gen.G should be winning this match with a 3-0 or 3-1 scoreline.

Head-to-head

Gen.G and DWG KIA have faced each other a total of 18 times in the past, with the former grabbing 10 victories, and the latter acquiring only 8.
