Among the storylines that thrilled Gen.G fans, Chovy’s first international win was the crown jewel. However, every member of the LCK team brought something extraordinary to the series, making this victory not only epic but legendary. Gen.G jungler Canyon celebrated his first MSI win, joining the ranks of players who have won both regional and international titles. Their top laner, Kiin, rose from last place in his regional tournament to the top of the international competition.
But it was Gen.G's bot lane that surprised fans with their play, with Peyz scoring the tournament's only pentakill – breaking a record for his kills – and Lehands winning the MVP award for his clean performance against four different champions.
As for most of the competition, the Grand Final was also marked by unconventional drafts. In the post-match interview, Gen.G’s coach revealed that they had prepared many new picks and adjusted their strategies specifically for the big match, but it didn’t work from the start.
