Introduction: The S16 season competitions have officially begun, and it is believed that most fans have been following the recent matches. The battles across various major regions are quite intense. The overall state of the LCK region during this period is perplexing, especially among the top-ranked teams, whose performance fluctuations are quite severe. Both T1 and GEN teams have recorded their worst group stage results in recent years. Particularly for GEN, after losing to HLE, they are experiencing the toughest group stage since the S9 season, currently holding a record of three wins and three losses. After the match, "Little吕布" even publicly shook his finger at the screen. Many Korean netizens joked that Zeka and BDD will compete for the starting spot in the Asian Games. Moreover, Kanavi stated in an interview that the LCK is better than the LPL.

GEN Records Worst Performance in Eight Years

It is believed that most fans are quite familiar with GEN team. As a top-tier powerhouse in the LCK region, their overall popularity and热度 are very high. With the加持 of two World Championship titles, GEN has become a perennial contender, garnering massive fan support every year. In the first stage of this season, their performance remained stable, essentially winning the LCK regional championship with an almost perfect record. Despite being utterly crushed by G2 in the global先锋赛, many fans continued to support them steadfastly. However, after the start of the second stage, GEN's players seem to have lost their morale.

The match against HLE team was completely without any悬念. In the first game, at 11 minutes, HLE team's小龙团直接 achieved a great victory with one trade for three, rapidly widening the economic gap thereafter. At 17 minutes, Kanavi's皇子残血拉扯, HLE again secured a great victory with zero trades for four.随后, it entered a phase of碾压. After a团战一换四 at 29 minutes, HLE team ended the match, taking the first point. In the second game, they gained an advantage early again. At eight minutes, a clash erupted in the上路 between the two teams, and HLE team achieved a二换四. In the crucial龙魂团战中, HLE team again achieved a great victory, subsequently obtaining the Baron buff. Although GEN team later acquired the水龙龙魂, it was futile. The explosive damage from兰博 helped HLE team finish the game in one wave.

Mid-laner Zeka faced off against Chovy, recording scores of 14-0-8 and 7-2-10 across two games, earning the MVP. Many Korean netizens are also热议 this match, with some even joking that Zeka and BDD are competing for the starting mid-laner spot in the Asian Games. Indeed, from the current match节奏来看, both Chovy and Faker's节奏 are very difficult, hardly resembling world-class mid-laners. In the first stage, HLE team should be the most underestimated team,毕竟 they were eliminated due to schedule安排. During this period, it feels like Kanavi has integrated into the team, and in an interview, he openly stated that the LCK model is better than the LPL.

Currently, GEN team holds a record of three wins and three losses, having defeated BFX, T1, and BRO teams, but losing to HLE, DK, and KT teams. This essentially marks their worst regular season performance since the S9 season. Many netizens are joking that Chovy has really changed this year; previously, he was strong for 11 months and weak for one month, but now he is strong for one month and then starts to decline. It seems that the Ruler incident seriously affected the team's coordination, or perhaps they completely collapsed after losing to G2. If they continue like this, then the LPL region's hopes this year are indeed greater.

Goodbye thinks

No one expected GEN team to deteriorate like this in the second stage, including other strong teams in the LCK region, whose fluctuations are also quite severe. KT team currently leads the entire region with a 6-0 record, while HLE team closely follows with a 5-1 record. Hopefully, they can adjust their状态 quickly; otherwise, for the upcoming World Championship, Riot might have to adjust the game version again,届时只能强行 enhance the LCK.

What do all the viewers think about this matter?
