‘Helper’ Kwon Young-jae, coach of Gen.G, had a video interview with Cookie News on the 11th. Games with you
‘Helper’ Kwon Young-jae, coach of Gen.G eSports (Gen.G), announced that he is getting good results from practice. However, he did not let his guard down, saying that he would not fall into the trap.
Gen.G finished a close match against LPL 2nd seed Top Esports (TES) in the second round of the winner’s branch of the ‘2024 Mid-season Invitational (MSI) Bracket Stage’ held at the City Performing Arts Center Chengdu Finance in Chengdu, China won at 4 pm on the 11th (Korean time) in a full set match, with a fixed score of 3-2.
Gen.G was in dire straits after winning the 1st and 2nd sets, then dropping the 3rd and 4th sets, but earned a valuable win in the 5th set and advanced to the 3rd round of the winner’s brake. Gen.G will face the winner of the T1-Biri Biri Gaming (BLG) game on the 16th for a direct ticket to the finals. This is a golden opportunity to wash away the ‘nightmare of international war’.
Coach Kwon Young-jae, who gave a one-on-one interview with Cookie News after the game, said, “It didn’t go as planned. The performance was below our expectations. “The flow was good, but time dragged on because I couldn’t fix the broken parts every now and then. “
He said, “TES is very good at planning as a team. The base is very strong. (So) I focused on the bottom line in terms of preventive elections,” he said. “The opponent used preventive elections that were more valuable than expected. He said, “I couldn’t respond fast enough, so it went to ‘full 5’. “
On this day, Gen.G showed various prevention tactics and selections. In particular, during the line exchange in the first set, the roof was sent to the center to put pressure on the opponent’s blade, which stood out. With this change, the gap between upper scales widened considerably. It was difficult for Xanthe, who had his growth, to play the role of a tank. On the other hand, Bain, who had grown up well, did his job by picking things up quickly.
Coach Kwon said, “The lane swap meta is active. “Instead of using this line-swapping strategy because it’s TES, it’s a result of flexibly adapting to each game,” he explained, adding, “I hope you enjoy seeing how Genjiman’s tactics come out in the tournament. “

Gen.G, who was driven to the brink by losing sets 3-4, took ‘Jungle Nidalee’ out of the blue camp in the 5th set. ‘Joker Pick’ Nidalee became a key player in the victory by traveling over the canyon. In response, Coach Kwon said, “Nidali (Kim) is Geonbu’s signature pick. Of course, there were other choices. “However, Geonbu presented his opinion strongly, which led to a good result,” he said, praising Geonbu “Canyon” Kim.
He continued, “Actually, every set 3 to 4 started with Geonbu stopping us. It was a very difficult game. Even in the fifth set, it started difficult. He praised, saying, “Although it was a game that required mental effort, Gunbu carried the game well and carried it. “
Regarding MSI’s practice process, Coach Kwon said, “We pay attention to line discussions. “The rest of us are working while increasing our strengths as we did in Korea,” he said. “Our scrim results are always very good. “We will continue the scrimmage and be careful not to fall into the trap,” he said.
Coach Kwon, who was the chief surgeon during his active years, is known to be responsible for celebrating ‘Kiin’ Kim Ki-in. In response, Coach Kwon said, “(Kim) Ki-in and I talk a lot about which champions are good in the game and how to set up levels about which champions and how to run them. “We share a lot,” he said.
Coach Kwon, who said he wanted Bili Biri Gaming (BLG) as an opponent for the winner, said, “We have already met T1 in the LCK finals. If we meet the LPL team again and win, I think it will be a real boost for the team in the long run as they prepare for Worlds. “I want to compete with BLG,” he said.
Finally, Coach Kwon said, “Due to MSI’s schedule, it is not easy for the players to manage their condition or mental health,” and added, “I can see they have a hard time working in. “We will work hard together and we will prepare well to perform well in international competitions,” he promised.
