Gen.G's scrim results differ drastically from reality, a world apart.
With KT Rolster's departure, this Worlds becomes exceedingly challenging for LCK representatives despite home ground advantage. Notably, Gen.G falls even before KT, signifying the downfall of both top 2 LCK Summer 2023 teams from the tournament. Notably, their performance against Bilibili Gaming was difficult to accept. They succumbed to the 2nd seed LPL team, a bitter pill to swallow.
Recently, former legendary ADC Uzi disclosed insider information about Gen.G. In scrims, Gen.G triumphed over JD Gaming 6 times without conceding a single match. Notably, both JDG and Gen.G were considered evenly matched and strong contenders for the championship. However, now only JDG continues their journey.
However, such scrim results have ignited debates among League of Legends fans. Gen.G is not the first instance where scrim outcomes starkly contrast with reality. A prime example is Team Whales, who secured 6 victories against Weibo Gaming. Nonetheless, they were eliminated from Worlds 2023, even suffering defeat at the hands of GAM Esports.
According to a plausible argument: 'There's information suggesting that LPL teams use scrims to test limits and lane mechanics. Thus, when playing for real, they'll be more cautious and disciplined.' Additionally, many opine that scrimming serves as a means for teams to experiment with new playstyles, identify weaknesses, and refine their strategies. Furthermore, it's almost certain that no team will unveil their core strategies during scrim sessions.
Furthermore, scrimming serves as a method for players to analyze and select champions for actual battles rather than focusing solely on wins and losses. Thus, players may lose even 10 or more scrim matches, yet they can discover the best playstyles for their real matches.
