Preview of GenG vs KT Rolster at League of Legends LCK 2023 Summer Split Group Stage
Prediction
Despite being unsuccessful at the Mid-Season Invitation (MSI) 2023, LCK teams are looking stronger than ever. Furthermore, GenG and KT Rolster are two of the best teams in the region. While the former won the spring split, the latter finished in third place.
After the addition of 17-year-old ADC, Peyz, GenG look indestructible, and their overall chemistry and team fights have been astronomical. Their mid-laner, Chovy, is also in superb form.
Going into the MSI, GenG looked promising initially. However, their lack of experience on the international stage cost them. Their star players couldn't perform, as the team suffered an early exit from the tournament.
It will be interesting to see how they perform in their first match at the regional tournament. The stakes are also high as they look to qualify for the Worlds.
On the other hand, KT Rolster displayed a promising performance against Hanwha Life Esports earlier in this tournament. Although they lost the second game, they dominated the third and won the series 2-1.
Their jungler, Cuzz, and mid-laner, Bdd, played exceptionally well, as their early laning phase and mid-game macros were phenomenal. However, the team's lackluster performance in the second game was underwhelming.
KT are a team that have performed consistently well in past League of Legends tournaments but have not been able to win any championships. Hence, and will desperately want to win this year's Summer Split.
The GenG vs KT Rolster matchup should be competitive, as both sides have been in good form. However, based on previous results and head-to-head history, GenG could snatch a 2-1 victory.
