Preface: The S15 season matches have officially started, and most players have been closely following the recent confrontations. The LCK summer split has finally concluded, with Gen team defeating HLE team 3-1 to claim the LCK championship once again. Throughout the series, Gen played very steadily, while HLE seemed disorganized and confused. After the match, the host asked about the LPL’s top seed BLG team, but their head coach Kim Jung-soo gave a response that embarrassed many players. He showed no thoughts on BLG’s double jungle rotation honeymoon tactic. Although he claimed no ill intent, his expression was clearly disdainful.

GEN coach dismisses BLG’s honeymoon double jungle strategy

Most players are quite familiar with the LCK region, widely regarded as the world’s strongest league, having won the World Championship multiple years in a row. This season remains dominant over the LPL. As the matches progressed, the LCK finals saw Gen face HLE. Honestly, before the match, many expected a thrilling contest between these two teams given their impressive results over the year. Instead, it turned into a one-sided domination. Except for jungler Canyon, every Gen player performed at their peak, while on HLE’s side, only jungler Peanut gave his all.

In the first game, just three minutes in, Peanut’s Poppy made several aggressive plays, coordinating with teammates to kill Gen’s mid and support. HLE managed the first 20 minutes perfectly, but during a dragon pit team fight, Poppy missed her ultimate, allowing Gen to turn the fight into a one-for-four exchange and secure the dragon, reversing the momentum. Ultimately, Gen took the first game at 30 minutes. In the second game, early chaos broke out again with constant exchanges of gold and kills. Gen extended their lead through map control. At 21 minutes, HLE’s failed engage led to a full team wipe by Gen, with Ruler’s Kai'Sa taking over to lead the team to victory.

In the third game, Gen gained some early advantages, but Zeus’s flawless plays in river and top lane team fights helped HLE even the series. The fourth game saw Peanut’s Skorpion successfully gank at five minutes, seeming like a strong start for HLE. However, Ruler’s Xayah shined brilliantly, worthy of her champion skin. After the match, Ruler earned the Finals MVP and became the first player to win FMVP titles in both LPL and LCK finals. From barely making the fourth seed to champion, it was truly a remarkable journey.

During the post-match interview, the host asked about BLG’s double jungle rotation tactic. Gen’s coach Kim Jung-soo bluntly said he had no thoughts on it, denying arrogance. Notably, Kim had previously coached BLG. As the strongest team this season, his comment caused LPL fans to be speechless. Interestingly, Ruler’s ex-girlfriend was present at the match and posted updates online — their current relationship status is unknown. Could they be secretly dating?

Farewell thoughts

Gen’s strength this season is truly overwhelming. Even after losing to KT earlier, they easily swept through three teams to claim the championship without even playing the anthem. BLG’s double jungle tactic works well within the LPL, but against Gen, it seems insignificant. Fans need not worry too much; everything will be settled at the World Championship. The one who lifts the trophy is the true winner.

What do you, dear viewers, think about this matter?
