Predictions
Nongshim Redforce are one of the weakest teams in the 2023 LCK season. The rookie lineup consisting of their previous academy players has failed to show up at the highest level of Korean League of Legends. They had an awful Spring Split, ending with a 2-16 record. The Summer Split has started off decently so far for Nongshim Redforce, with the addition of mid laner Song "Quad" Su-hyeong.
Quad has provided some veterancy for the roster, but the team still looks shaky with sloppy macro decisions and inconsistent gameplay being prevalent. The mechanical talent of this team has been showcased at times but it has simply not been enough to carry them through the competition present in the LCK.
Gen.G, on the other hand, are one of the strongest teams. They are big favorites to make it to the 2023 World Championship at minimum, with some fans expecting back-to-back LCK trophies. The team has a great mix of experience mixed with raw talent and incredible mechanical skill. Players such as Jeong "Chovy" Ji-hoon and Kim "Peyz" Su-hwan have been stellar in their role.
Gen.G's performance at the League of Legends MSI 2023 was a bit disappointing, relative to expectations. However, they have started off strong regionally during the Summer Split, including an exciting and tense series victory over rivals and direct contenders, T1. Gen.G currently sit at the top of the table with a 3-0 record.
Gen.G are the heavy favorites to close out this series with a clean 2-0. Nongshim Redforce will have to pull off something miraculous to win even a single game, let alone the series. The sheer difference in the macro and talent between these teams is enough for Gen.G to comfortably remain undefeated in the Summer Split.
