Regarding the unexpectedly fierce battle with FlyQuest, Kim Geon-bu praised his opponents rather than external factors.

Kim Geon-bu emphasized, “We didn’t have any influence or difficulty understanding the meta due to the long gap between matches,” and “I think the opposing team prepared well and played well rather than those factors.”

Gen.G played the quarterfinals 15 days after winning all 3 matches in the Swiss Stage on October 5th.

There were concerns that this would have a negative impact on their performance, but they explained that it had no significant impact.

Kim Geon-bu also expressed his surprise at the opponent’s ban pick preparation.

When asked whether he had known about the Joker picks that appeared that day, such as the mid Seraphine, jungle Fiddlesticks, and top Sett, in advance, he said, “I didn’t expect Sett and Seraphine,” and added, “In the case of Joker picks, you have to deal with them well in the game.”

This means that he paid more attention to how to deal with them after they came out than to predicting the opponent’s cards.

When asked what they talked about before the fourth set, when they were cornered after losing two wins to their opponents, Kim Geon-bu answered, “We shared feedback with our teammates about the mistakes we made in the previous games,” and “We focused on discussing how to ban and pick in the future.”

He also explained that he already knew about FlyQuest’s Baron move in the final fifth set when they were cornered.

Kim Geon-bu emphasized, “We were aware of Baron even when our opponents were out of sight,” and “After confirming that our opponents had Baron, our teammates’ instantaneous judgment and teamwork were good.”
