Delight’s Lament, Should Have Changed My Ban Pick Early
“I Should Have Changed my Ban Pick Early… ” Delight’s Lament
Gen.G Esports lost to Bili Billy Gaming (BLG) of the Chinese League's LPL in the quarterfinals of the 2023 League of Legends World Championship (Worlds Cup) on the 3rd.
Since Gen.G had been highly anticipated as the first seed in the LCK in the Korean League, their departure was even more shocking to LCK fans. 카지노사이트
Gen.G e-Sports supporter ‘Delight’ Hwan-jung Yoo, who met with the Korea Economic Daily after losing the game on the 3rd, also had a look of regret on his face.
He said, “I should have changed my ban pick after losing the first game (set 1), but that’s disappointing.”
Yoo Hwan-jung said that, unlike in scrimmages where the team had consecutive wins, the ban pick that did not work in the finals was the factor in the loss.
He added, “It went well during practice, but it didn’t seem to work out well in the actual game.”
He added, “After losing the first and second sets, I felt that it was better in terms of the game to change the bottom champion to another champion.”
He then emphasized, “(After revising the ban pick), I played well in the 3rd and 4th sets, but I still feel disappointed.”
In this day's match, Gen.G selected Aphelios as the ADC champion in both sets 1 and 2, and combined supports Tahm Kench and Milio.
However, they lost against BLG, which consisted of support Renata Glass, Kalista, and Xayah.
Afterwards, Gen.G won by cutting out Renata in the 3rd and 4th sets.
Although Gen.G lost that day, they showed signs of chasing the set score from 0 to 2 to 2 to 2.
When asked what was discussed after the two losses, Yoo Hwan-jung said, “We talked about team-wise adjusting the concept to be more combat-oriented,” and explained, “We chose champions who are good for fights, such as (object teamfights).”
In fact, he chose the defensive champion with Tahm Kench and Milio in the 1st and 2nd sets, but focused on initiating by choosing Nautilus and Rell in the 3rd and 4th sets.
Hwanjung Yoo revealed that Gen.G practiced a lot of ‘counter picks’ against BLG.
He added, “I thought a lot about counter picks and practiced against those champions,” adding, “I thought it was good when we gave the team (Rumble, Jarvan, Orianna, etc.) and brought in the champions we chose.”
However, as a result, Gen.G's 'counter pick' strategy was in vain.
However, Gen.G's experiment is expected to affect other teams' future games.
Finally, Yoo Hwan-jung expressed his support, saying, “Of the remaining teams, of course, I hope KT Rolster and T1 give their strength,” and “I definitely hope that the LCK wins.”
In addition, he said to the fans who supported him, “When I first came this season, my skills were not good, but I think I gradually improved.”
“It was unfortunate (being eliminated in the quarterfinals), but the support gave me a lot of strength.”
“I am always grateful,” he said.
