GenG's 15-game-long winning streak in the League of Legends LCK Summer 2024 ends with a defeat against KT Rolster

KT Rolster entered this series against GenG following two back-to-back defeats in the LCK against BRION and Kwangdong Freecs. KT's performance in these previous matches was lackluster, as they struggled with their draft picks and were outperformed in every aspect of the game.

The consensus among analysts and avid fans of League of Legends was that GenG would secure a decisive 2-0 triumph in this series. This prediction was based on GenG's unparalleled dominance in the LCK over the past few months, where they emerged victorious with a flawless 2-0 record against every team they faced, except Dplus, against whom they won 2-1.

GenG took an early lead in the series, thanks to the dominant performances of their Toplaner Kiin and his Aurora pick, which proved devastating for KT Rolster during team fights. Despite Chovy not making a significant impact, the team secured a straightforward victory in the first game against KT.

However, Aurora received a ban from participating in the subsequent two games by KT. Additionally, Bdd showcased an outstanding performance with the Corki pick in game two. He played a pivotal role in securing KT's victory in this game with a record of 13 kills, one death, and four assists.

In a surprising move, Bdd opted for Smolder in the Midlane in game three. While the early stages of the game presented some challenges, the accumulation of 225 or more stacks in the later stages proved pivotal in unleashing significant damage on GenG's squishy champions, including Corki, Kennen, Lucian, and Nami. Additionally, KT's Jungler Pyosik demonstrated flawless execution of Maokai, exhibiting exceptional team fight skills and exerting strong control over the map.

In the end, KT accomplished the unimaginable by securing a 2-1 victory against GenG, arguably the most dominant LoL team recently, bringing them one step closer to the playoffs.

Following their loss in this series, GenG's upcoming matches will be against Nongshim and Hanwha Life Esports. Even though they've already secured a spot in the playoffs, this defeat is anticipated to serve as a wake-up call. The world of LoL esports is known for its unpredictability, and even dominant teams like GenG can face challenges. No team should consider themselves invincible.

Meanwhile, T1 fans can now find solace in the fact that GenG's defeat has eliminated any possibility of them mirroring T1's flawless record in the LCK Spring 2022 season (18-0).
