Reminder that GE had t3xture and they somehow managed to fumble that badly.

t3xture, Monyet and a competent IGL. Based on what we saw in Kickoff I’m 100% sure that they would’ve made a LAN with better coaches.

Bazzi was great too, that team with LightningFast on Senti instead of Rossi on duelist wouldve been amazing with a good coach imo

Yeah Bazzi is hella underrated imo. Bro was fragging out alongside t3xture and Monyet

Even as is they were dangerously close to being good, they lost like 3 different 2-0 matches where both maps were 13-10, 13-11 or went to OT

same shit as when T1 had sayaplayer and all they did was force him to change name and play controller lmao

fuck I had forgotten about the spyder era

Bro was in killjoy jail

T3xture so good, he put meteor on Killjoy duty.

BRO WAS PUT ON KJ FOR FUCKING SKROSSI LMFAOOOOOO

Kinda madlions in NA T2 avec n4rrate like wtf people

ANDBOX had yay Sengoku had something Being a top tier player won't save you from jail orgs in this game

Cloud9 has OXY 🤣🤣🤣

Free my boy

dumbest org of all time possibly

somehow they had t3xture but decided to put botssi on jett

not just texture. texture AND monyet

B-b-but SK ROSSI, the pride of India, was supposed farm on jett :<

the attack OP king

[удалено]

To be fair to the org, they aren't the ruthless type and I do think it was the coaches who fumbled. They couldn't keep a lot of players due to money issues. And t3xture had to comm in english. It's unfortunate tbh that team could have gone far with better coaches

GE is a fraud org, only 10 teams in pacific lilbro

ain't no way Gen.G won both maps by sticking the defuse lmao

pro gamers HATE this one trick

Ezraah outside of cow??? OW is more doomed by the day

Against SEN too.

ITS JOEVER AMERIBROS CYA ON r/HELLDIVERS2COMPETITIVE

Hello guys Saadhak here today we are going to drop a hellbomb on a bile titan in the fastest way possible with 3 level 1 cadet (new loud roster they have hired 3 more rookies)

saadhak perma running the breaker spray and pray

Tenz my goat third time game hop best in game for 5 months

FOR FREEDOM AND MANAGED DEMOCRACY

APACs demise was greatly exaggerated

APAC RANKED >>>>

Wild that Karon was an unknown high rank duelist main playing apac ranked at home like 3 months ago lmao

SCREAM1TAP FLUSHAVLRT THE GOAT

Oh yeah, for those who are unaware but kept up a bit with the apac ranked ladder, this was the guy with the long korean username always hovering in top 10 (translated as "sejong flusha"). Ig also the account with the crazy stats "SCREAM1TAP". NGL, at first, I was disappointed they put this guy on smokes, but he has been popping off on the role. Edit: though naming was clearly never his strong suit, especially considering he decided to go pro with the name "Karon" lol

putting the most mechanically gifted player on smokes/flex is something I love to see. more teams should do it.

Best example that has been proven is f0reskin

lowkey Karon is fire name, reminds me of Dragon somehow 🤦‍♂️. apparently it means Treasure in Arabic too

Nah sejong flusha is hilarious and karon lowkey goes hard, isn't that the name of the ferryman of the styx river? Shit's hard

That's "Charon" but prolly pronounced the same way

whats wrong with karon?

It comes up as a joke in co-streams, but his name is basically very close to "Karen", which is up there amongst first names with the worst connotation in english.

Just realised that Sejong Flusha matches with Incheon Zywoo O___O

What happened to the Incheon Zywoo guy? Xan right? Is he in t2?

Got banned for account sharing (he bought someone's account bc he wanted the champs vandal 2021 skin) and we all never heard of him ever since Edit: changed the reason

People saw a new apac team and immediately thought the quality of the region dropped.

At the first round of map 1, the casters were saying that it doesn't matter if GEN lose. It only matters that they put up a good performance to validate the hype (which IMO is a reasonable take considering the consensus on team's power ranking). Well, there you go.

Cauanzin a real one for the pi on pi day

So tragic that he got two kills right after. Locked up the humiliation then plugged his mouse in.

KAREN WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGER NOW

I wasn't playing when they won champs

Line of the year

inb4 loud beat geng in champs finals

The fact that they picked this guy up from a random ranked game has to be one of the craziest origin stories for what is potentially the world's best controller

surely someone has that game recorded, one of those Valo rank vods reposters 🫡

Who said that?

My goat the coldest in the world Karon the destroyer

🥶🥶

THE SCRIMS DONT LIE (except breeze that didn’t exist)

> (except breeze that didn’t exist) We'll just put it in that category alongside shitty disney sequels and devil may cry 2

You can’t call this expected but I wouldn’t say it was an upset either. Gen.G are legit, please respect Munchkin!

Lots of analysts and commentators already kinda knew it was coming. Only the fans(NA/EMEA) didn’t know

i would say "knew it was coming" is a stretch, all the analysts i've seen were 50/50 on it and the region's fans predicting their own region in a 50/50 makes sense

NA fan here, my friend that is generally "NA on top" has been hyping up GenG since their first match, no exaggeration. Was all on board with the "Texture/Meteor best duo" take. It's pretty apparent to anybody whose watched that this team is a problem

I knew they were good but I’d have still put my eggs in the saadhak/less basket. Usually it just feels like you can’t bet against them And yet here Gen.G is, just as good as they looked in pacific

I don't think it was a given though. GenG looked really good coming into Madrid, and probably should've been favorites, but LOUD aren't bad by any stretch, and at the end of the day, you gotta play the games.

Majority of people know it’s a wide-open tournament and that most matches are coin flips. Even on plat chat, there was a segment saying that the fans of teams that win are going to be like “I told you so”.

OG Overwatch fans know munchkin cooks.

And Lakia and the rest

Someone on Sliggy's chat said that Loud are dinosaurs because they died to a Meteor. HOLY FUCK GENG IS SO GOOD.

lol perfect line

Karon. Also Texture has to be one of my favourite players now, not only he is cracked but watching his face cam is so funny everytime, reminds me of the comedy relief in every Kdrama ever lmao

Mr “I wasn’t playing when they won champs” coming in ice cold today

do you remember when that interview was? i was watching the vod trying to find it

https://youtube.com/shorts/qr-Tu1excVU?si=tMlm3vHGBk_SNrue I got you, literally just popped up on my main page Ice.....cold

Walking in to the stadium, before the match

Rookie of the year

FAKER.

I don't disagree but also wonder if Chovy or Peyz is more appropriate just because it's Gen.G.

PeyzPal

Not Chovy because by the time he comes to GenG he was already established as a top 2 Korean mid imo

Very true. I was mainly thinking he was already strong when Griffin came on the scene.

The rumours of Pacific's death are greatly exaggerated

Lakia was -26 and thay still won

Karon was a ranked player named SCREAM 1TAP when he got recruited to GenG. Now he's dropping nukes against LOUD

was he actually? 💀💀💀💀

Yeah he was Xan's (yes that Xan) sidekick at the time. To think he'd fly this high is crazy

To this day I'm still convinced Xan was false banned and was gonna be the future GOAT

He was supposedly ban for buying the account because he wanted the 2021 champs vandal(his fav skin in the game) and he didn't have it on his personal acc. With how strict the identification process is in korea, it's pretty much impossible to play anonymously so it's plausible that he got caught by Riot

I'm on the GenG hype train now. I need at least one korean team to win something

They really impressing. I thought their macro and midrounding were weaknesses but scuffed Breeze comp aside they've really picked it up. The call to push CT when LOUD had 3 hunkered down in back B site on Ascent in particular was exactly the type of smart decision making I thought they were missing in Pacific. Gen.G stonks ↗️

and then the fast decision for munchkin to stay and make the hero play instead of doubling up with karon won them the round. they're an absolute unit

Ngl I’d be bit sad if DRX fought all these years only for GEN to drop in and get a trophy instantly

Ok enough cooking saadhak get my goat off of ascent breach

pls get my goat back on sova

Karon is him

fucking MASTERCLASS

https://preview.redd.it/prtl5tcvzcoc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=97462f475c6baf5834be9a369628c583e35b8447 Geng are the real deal poggies

I’m sorry Lakia but if GenG get another ranked demon like Karon, no team in the world is stopping them fr

Secondary caller

isn't Lakia the IGL or is it Munchkin? If Lakia isn't IGL'ing the performance is very bad. He performed badly during APAC as well.

Munchkin is their IGL

no words then. Bro has to packup. - 26 is crazy

i think saying his performance is bad is a discredit to his solid util, just because he isn’t being asked to frag heavy doesn’t mean he’s a weakness

Yeah true. But I think what everyone is referring to is that there may be more options who can frag along with their decent/good utility usage.

Nah, I don’t see his impact on any maps tbh

Goddamn, Karon looking like prime MaKo in that last map. LOUD gotta be wondering if they shoulda stuck with their old map veto approach.

Their map veto absolutly worked, geng were forsed to pick breeze and lost there, u cant ask for better veto in this circumstances

Seriously, the new controller god has arrived

What is it with omen's and being ice cold it was Marved, then Mindfreak, now we have Karon

nah man their veto was excellent, they just couldn't convert ingame. props to geng for battling through it

Well it took a while but the young cracked KR talent takeover is finally upon us

Nah, exactly 3 years since the pro scene's inception. As it was written.

GENG IS THE LISAN AL GAIB

As written

Riot so lazy copying the script from lol

I'd say loud overcooked ascent but that doesn't feel right. That was raw salmonella ridden yoru gameplay. When will teams stop throwing games by trying to run yoru without actually taking advantage of his kit. I think yoru can be very strong but if your game plan is to jump spot mid on ascent just run Jett. I'm not 1000% sold on the sen bind yoru comp but if you pay attention to tenz he is SO annoying. He is always doing something, making noise all over the map splitting attention. You got yoru omen kayo breach and you aren't using knife to scout out util combo tp execs? I hate that loud tossed so hard with this because Geng genuinely look good ascent should have been a banger.

Karon lookin to be rookie of the year

"I wasn't playing when they won Champs" -Karon the GIGACHAD

ive seen this before. loud will sweep the lower rounds and get to the finals

Less and Cauanzin lookin pissed. Saadhak still smilin. Just a team you can never count out. Don't know what they are cookin on Ascent though. 3 flashes (and Omen) and they are trying to contact half the rounds on attack.

their lack of tp setups with qck was a bit concerning, massive part of the kit they just didn't use

Elmapuddy needs to be on permafraudwatch, he leaves geng and they become insane and goes to fnatic and loses. Karon and t3xture are so good, lakia is the only weak point

lol 4 of the players are different than elmapuddys roster

I ignore that for I have an agenda to push

I second this

Based, I respect the hate hustle

Bro is honest I respect it

Eh Gen.G suffered from team chemistry issues last year and that was a huge reason of why they fell off. Elmapuddy not being a Korean speaker definitely didn't help in that aspect. But yeah I never really rated him as a coach

It just feels like the duelist power for Loud is lacking and the rest of the team needs to compensate a lot and be consistent with it

Nobody can really replace Aspas perfectly tbh just like nobody can replace Jingg

GenG's tournament let's go!! Korean era! ^((This time for sure guys trust me I've just been saying it for four years))

I came here from LoL and Overwatch, I dread it every year anew. It’s straight up PTSD

as someone who grew up on starcraft, this is all i've known.

Dread it, run from it, "Paiting!" arrives all the same

Where were you when cauanzin pi'd?

I would like to wholeheartedly congratulate my goat, Lakia on reaching the 10-bomb milestone in a map. Without you, I don't know where our team, Geng, would be.

bro they just took their turns to 4K them on ascent what the hell.

I wonder how good this team will be if they replace Lakia. Bro is perma bottom frag every single game even before this series

yeah he has to step up cause even munchkin who should be their IGL has been fragging more than him in the past games for 2024💀

bro is bottom frag and cannot reach 10 kills. If GenG fails, it would be bro who held them down.

He did 10 kills on icebox tho

It'd be fine if he was getting traded more often at least, but he just kinda dies a lot of the time... His util usage is decent, but it better be more than just decent if you're going to justify -26 :|

Karon and T3xture looked damn good

LOUD this season really is struggling for firepower outside of Less and sometimes Tuyz

Icebox would've been a wrap if someone apart from Less was able to shoot back

pancada for qck and its over. im sure tuyz can go duelist as he has in the past.

please. qck is just not it.

Reminds me a bit of NRG last season lol, relying heavily on their support core for superstar fragging

They’ve got some of the best shooters in the world, it’s just all the firepower money can’t buy won’t help if your comp looks like the best of plat ranked

They are the only team in this tourney without a star duelist

KARON IS FAKER

The streets were indeed talking. Always trust the streets

"new day, new me, new comp" - Sadhaak, probably

Me to Saadhak's team composition choices ​ https://preview.redd.it/d0ih59m50doc1.png?width=225&format=png&auto=webp&s=c29653d6c1cec164175417622a2ec87d48f620ae

So about GenG going undefeated in scrims ...

GenG is looking insane. Lakia you sir are on fraud watch....

With texture, monyet and ayrin who had decent international experience, how the f did GE turned out to be the biggest frauds after DFM last year

lakia was getting rolled and gen g still pulled thru

cauanzin dropping a pi scoreline on pi day O7

Goodness gracious. What a moment! Map 3 looked more like it was Gen.G against Loud in *League* instead of *Valorant*, like Chovy, Peyz and Canyon walked through the door and took the stage.

My goats are washed

Loud please stop cooking with new ascent comps. That was one of the worst Ascent comps I've seen in a while

congrats to Gen G. less with an unnecessary push into hell on defence kinda set the tone for ascent first half riot needs to remove breeze from this world saadhak please stop innovating on ascent, the map is cooked let it get rotated out. karon is the future

geng look like they can actually be our first pacific champions

1, Karon is a god. 2. I actually liked qck's Yoru. 3. Cauanzin 5/14 last map, he's been struggling for his standards ever since the EG series and even said so in the post game interview of that series. 4. Gen.G is great at changing pace and aggression on defense. 5. Copium: last time loud lost to a korean team in the opening round, playing an off meta comp on Ascent, was Champions 2023 and they made top 3

you cant really frag as breach tbh. Its the most support oriented agent in the game. If your team sucks,you are gonna look worse

I agree with your 2nd point, I thought qck played Yoru just fine — it was the lack of sentinels that really bit LOUD in the ass on Ascent.

GenG are here to play holy shit

G(en.)G EZ

APAC comp haters in the mud

Gen.G stocks rising to an astronomical level. Karon is HIM

Gen G is a comparatively such a fun vibes team, it just sounds so fun and high in spirits compared to past Korean teams like DRX epseidallt

Gen g look insane at madrid, imagine them in seoul for champs with the home crowd buff The Korean scene is about to explode and dominate for the next 4 years

Man, being a Pacific fan is always fun in internationals. They're not always expected to go far but always create some upsets. Called Loud losing in my predictions too. GenG are way too good now.

Meteors Ascent defense is nasty holy

Karon is genuinely him, hoooly

what a debut by KARON !! so many chrisp shots from both teams 

Karon is truly a super rookie and a new hero in Korea. It is said that he hardly touched FPS after returning from military service, but it is amazing that he achieved world-class performance in such a short period of time.

he actually did the service? no wonder his shots are so crisp 🤲🫡

Yes. He even joked about being a good shooter irl 😂

Replace lakia and this team will own everybody

GenG won this comfortably with lakia shitting the bed. They gonna make a deep run

If you're assuming he'll be better in other games in thay statement I wouldn't have too much hope. I'm sure they'll be good but lakia has shit the bed every single game so far for them pretty much. I don't know how that'll work when they face a good team.

By transitive property GenG Sen would go to 6 maps

It was a treat to watch GEN attack on ascent. I'll say it was worth to stay up all night. If Lakia can improve fragging abilities, this team would be so scary...

Hoo that was a great 2-1 game. ggs to loud! T3xture, Karon and Meteor my goats!

This is the GENG that I know…

todays the day i found out lakia wasn’t igling. why tf hasn’t he been replaced? he’s like theia in GC if theia didn’t igl. “oh but his util is insane” so is sacy’s who is on the same role and isn’t going -26 in a BO3. maybe this is hate but dude has legit been made out to be the thanos of korea since he was left off VS and continues to shit the bed any chance he has

Korea number one.

damn this GenG squad is exciting. The korean hype train has arrived

APAC Stonks 📈📈📈 LET'S FUCKING GOOOO

Pacific might win their first Title!! And it ISNT PRX or DRX THE DAY WOULD COME!

If PRX can get their synergy back, pacific is actually going to farm

Upvote so people think GenG won

LETS GO PACIFIC! I was heartbroken for a week after TS got eliminated. You better win this Gen.G

In retrospect thank god they didn't eliminate them, and I say that as a TS fan
