LCK Super Week Tour
This week's Super Week Tour of the Korean LCK held 2 super battles in offline venues, namely GenG vs. DK, and the traditional repertoire news agency vs. T1 vs. KT. In the end, GenG and T1 both defeated their opponents 2-0 and won the victory. Entering the second stage, the leader of the Korean LCK has become GenG again, and they are currently 10-0 without a defeat after beating strong rivals HLE in the opening game. After four months of substitution turmoil, T1 finally chose to return Gumayusi to the starting position, and stabilized, and the team's form has gradually improved recently.
Undefeated GenG
GenG is the team that has dominated the league for the longest time in LCK history and the only team to complete 4 consecutive LCK titles. From 2022 to 2024, they won 4 championships and 2 runners-up in 6 seasons in 3 years. Since the Cup of the first stage of this year's LCK is not officially counted in the main event history, it is ignored.
In the second stage, which was the previous Spring Split, GenG is currently on a 10-game winning streak with an unbeaten streak. In this week's Super Week tour, they once again thrashed DK 2-0 and, in their current form, it seems that only HLE and T1 have a chance to beat them.
Chovy is in a league of its own
GenG's strength is inseparable from Chovy becoming the MVP king of the LCK again, in addition to 7 consecutive games with 0 deaths, breaking his own KDA record of more than 100 points, 7 times Bo3 POM, which also made them the first among all professional players. At the end of the week, second-placed Zeus was still 200 points behind him.
In addition, with the rookie support and veteran Ruler getting better, GenG's overall performance is indeed better than the Cup Cup at the beginning of the season. However, GenG's long-standing problem has been key games and tournaments, and it seems that the regular season is nothing new for GenG.
Today's news agency wars
In recent years, T1 has remained a world-class powerhouse, while KT has long since declined. Especially this season, the lineup that was not strong enough in the first place, and because of the replacement of newcomers in the upper auxiliary side, KT's results were very unsatisfactory. Even though BDD, who have become veterans, try their best, the weak gap at the team level makes them almost helpless against T1.
Ends with Faker's oversized arcane storm
The newcomer itself is weak on the list, and there was a problem in the first game of the jungler Cuzz, the line is average, the group is not strong, and the pull is also weak, and the final ending is also reasonable. The current T1 vs. KT is not a news agency war at all. It's more like a Korean LCK that plays hard in order to retain some traditional programs. Similar to LPL, there has been no pig and dog war for a long time.
Oner stands out
With Zeus leaving the team and rotating in the lower lanes, the standout result of T1 this year was Oner. This is probably something that many people never expected at the beginning of the season, and it also breaks the stereotype that fitness expert Oner is "simple-minded and well-developed". In the recent T1 games, without Oner's god-level performance, many games that are not strong confrontations may be really difficult for them to win. This may be the surprise that T1 has given fans this year, and it is also the magic of this team, it seems that there is always someone who can stand up in times of crisis.
LCK returns to the era of both internal and external kings?
In the past two years, GenG has been the king of the LCK's internal war, while T1 has been the king of the LCK's foreign war. GenG is invincible in the league, while T1 will win the World Finals. However, HLE's sudden appearance in the summer last year was a hindrance, and after acquiring Zeus this year, he continued his dominance in the LCK in the first stage. The current performance of only losing to GenG in the debut game is still strong, and T1 does have a vision of returning to the finals after gradually stabilizing, but HLE seems to be a difficult obstacle for them to overcome.
Based on recent performances, DK is weaker than these three teams, so this year's second stage of the LCK playoffs may ultimately depend on the battle between GenG, HLE and T1. However, considering that Zeus and Viper are in such good form, it may be difficult for T1 to return to the finals and participate in MSI. But the difference in strength between the three teams is only a millimeter, and the victory or defeat can often be changed by one or two small mistakes. With the halfway point of the competition, the showdown between these strong teams in the LCK is becoming more and more worth looking forward to!
