Gen.G set a new record at Worlds 2024, but fans cannot rest assured because of Chovy.


Gen.G set another record at Worlds 2024


The highlight match of the third day of the Swiss round of Worlds 2024 is the re-enactment of the LCK Summer 2024 final, between Gen.G and Hanwha Life Esports. Even experts consider this to be a very skill- and macro-heavy match and can be considered the quintessence of Worlds 2024. In fact, the match was as intense as the League of Legends community had expected. And the final result was Gen.G's successful comeback after 3 tense games, helping the 2024 LCK Summer Runner-up become the second team after LNG Esports to enter the Quarterfinals with a winning record.

This victory also helped Gen.G achieve another achievement: They became the first team in recent years to reach the Quarterfinals of 5 consecutive World Championships. Meaning, Gen.G has not been absent from Worlds, and every time they have attended, they have passed the group stage. However, Gen.G fans should not rush to rejoice because the Quarterfinals are the "death zone" of a pillar, superstar Chovy.


But the Quarterfinals are often the "death zone" in Chovy's career

Chovy may be a problem for Gen.G at Worlds 2024

Throughout the 3 matches with HLE, perhaps only in game 3 did Chovy really shine with performances as expected by the audience. In game 1, his Ahri didn't even have any other effect other than... "farming" soldiers. When Gen.G had a lineup that couldn't be imposed on opponents, Chovy was harmless. This was also shown in the recent LCK Summer 2024 final, when he was completely "shut down" by Zeka right from the laning phase.

Furthermore, perhaps the audience still remembers that the quarterfinals of the World Championships are always a huge psychological pressure for Chovy. Even when Gen.G had a very stable squad last year, they had to stop after losing 0-3 to Bilibili Gaming with Chovy completely losing compared to Yagao. And in Chovy's career, the number "88848" is an obsession as he had to stop in the Quarterfinals 4 times.


If Chovy performs like game 1 against HLE in the upcoming matches, Gen.G may "hold grudges".

This year, Chovy has perhaps the best opportunity to win Worlds 2024. But if he performs like he did in games 1 and 2 against HLE, perhaps the Worlds championship with Chovy will only be possible. It's just endless regret.
