Recently, the content leaks of Genshin Impact 5.7 have emerged one after another, especially the information about the two new characters Skirk and Dahlia, which has caused heated discussions in the player community. Although the current game is still in Version 5.5, concerns about the new characters are continuing to ferment.
According to the current leaked information, Skirk, as an important NPC in main Fontaine line, has been highly anticipated by players since his appearance. Although Skirk's specific values have not yet been exposed, we can also guess that the mechanism of this five-star character may be overly dependent on Cryo meta. Then her flaws are also easily exposed - when the environment changes, her strength will be greatly reduced.
At the same time, the leak of the four-star Hydro character Dahlia is equally disturbing. This new character, who may come from Mondstadt, will focus on Attack Speed buffer. It is worth noting that this is not the only four-star support with attack speed buff as the core in Genshin Impact in the past two years. Because of this, this repetitive design immediately raised questions about the usefulness of the character, after all, the strategic value of attack speed stats in the current version is still controversial.
Mika's DilemmaPreviously, Mika's launch as a 4-star Cryo character had suffered a major failure. Many players considered this a disaster, as he was undoubtedly one of the worst supports.
This Knights of Favonius front-line surveyor is very young. He is mainly attack speed buff and Physical DMG buffs, and can also bring a certain degree of healing to teammates. But unfortunately, no matter from which aspect, his bonus ability is not ideal, or even equivalent to no effect. In addition, attack speed is usually not an important stat in Genshin Impact, which made Mika quickly abandoned by players and chose other characters as a replacement.
It is worth noting that Dahlia's current leaked information has many similarities with Mika. They are both 4-star supports and can also serve as an Attack Speed buffer. They are even likely to come from Mondstadt! This really makes people worry that Dahlia will repeat Mika's mistakes.
What's more worrying is that the current version already has a more practical character like Yun Jin. If Dahlia cannot provide a breakthrough mechanism, then his existence value will be questioned by many players. After all, for most players, it is better to prioritize the cultivation of the existing team rather than consuming $1 to extract a new character that is not easy to use.
Attack SpeedTo understand the players' concerns, we first need to understand the awkward position of attack speed in the combat system of Genshin Impact. Unlike basic stats such as HP, ATK, and DEF, attack speed is only slightly effective for some characters who rely on Normal Attacks as their main damage output, but it is also very limited.
Even for characters such as Ayato, Ayaka, Itto, and even Yoimiya, higher attack speed allows these characters to attack more frequently and increase their overall damage output to the enemy, but in fact their output limit does not depend on the attack frequency. This feature makes Attack Speed buffer often give people a sense of dispensability.
Judging from the existing information, if Dahlia wants to avoid repeating Mika's mistakes, he still needs to focus on solving his practicality problem first. How can he have his own outstanding advantages compared with other similar characters? We can only hope that the developer will do it.
However, these are our own speculations, after all, these leaks may be wrong. The information we know about Dahlia is not complete enough, and it is not rational to make arbitrary conclusions based on the current information.
What's more, these concerns also reflect the players' anxiety about the lack of innovation in character design. Since the release of Genshin Impact, the developer has launched nearly 100 controllable characters one after another, and it is difficult to avoid the homogenization of character positioning. But if it is not solved, then for players, this will greatly affect the diversity of the game build, thereby reducing the fun of the game.
All in all, the information we currently have about Version 5.7 is not sufficient, and more key information will be revealed later. We hope that the developer can avoid repeated mistakes and keep pushing Genshin Impact forward!

While Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail are constantly refreshing players' views on open world games, HoYoverse's highly anticipated Zenless Zone Zero is about to usher in a major update, including new areas, new characters and new factions. This news makes all proxies feel excited.
New Areas Waifei PeninsulaThis place, famous for mining and refining Porcelume, is located in Throne Quarter, on the outskirts of Lemnian Hollow, and is full of dangers. The story of ZZZ version 2.0 will begin here.
Waifei Peninsula was originally used as a monitoring zone to monitor Lemnian Hollow, the original hollows in the game. And its name Waifei Peninsula comes from Cantonese characters.
The earliest residents who settled here were responsible for guarding this extremely dangerous valley. And over time, an outpost was established in Waifei Peninsula area. Eventually it became Failume Heights.
Failume HeightsThe city sits on a cliff, with a stunning view of the port and the area. The area is rich in Porcelume, a precious material that resists Ether Corruption. It is a vital material in mining. It is also the economic pillar of the area, but there are many secrets hidden behind it.
Perhaps many clues that have not been answered before will be connected here, such as Sarah's true plans, the conspiracy of Exaltists, etc. But I think the most important thing is the biggest mystery that the two proxies have always wanted to know - the truth about the fall of the old capital and the secrets that Phaethon siblings have been keeping. In short, I am sure that players will get a great new adventure here.
Lemnian HollowAs an original Hollows hiding an ancient civilization, although Lemnian Hollow has only been mentioned once before, it has always been the most active hollow, often causing trouble for nearby residents.
Now, players can look forward to exploring here in 2.0. Oh, and there's also a bigger and more complete Aerospace City ruin waiting for you.
New CharacterAs a key figure in Season 2, Yixuan is the current leader of Yunkui Summit. Her striking yellow cape easily leaves a deep impression. She will appear with new members from Defense Force's Obol Squad and the previously revealed idol group Angels of Delusion.
In 2.0, players can become a new disciple of Yunkui Summit and learn Yixuan's craft. Although it is not yet known what this is, with Yixuan as a mentor, it will be exciting to learn anything! Perhaps from now on, players will have to consciously accumulate $1.
New FactionsThere will be many major factions in Season 2. Some of them have appeared and returned again, and some are making their debut. They are Angels of Delusion and Obol Squad from Defense Force.
In addition, a new teaser trail will be released on April 13, through which players can learn more about what they want to know.
Other ImprovementsIn addition to the above new content, Version 2.0 also brings some gameplay improvements to everyone, which can effectively enhance the player's gaming experience.
Map EnhancementsThe map experience of Zenless Zone Zero has been greatly improved, integrating residential and combat areas together, bringing players a smoother and more realistic experience. From now on, there will be no more annoying long scene switching, which will make the game more convenient.
Especially Failume Heights, its scale has been expanded, and many new features have been added. All of this makes it more like a complete city. The larger scope also gives it unlimited expansion space in the future.
What is more concerning is that Failume Heights may have a new daily system to be released, and there may also be a mini-game about Suibian Temple. I hope the official will give more instructions about this mini-game in the future.
Travel System & UI ChangesMeanwhile, Zenless Zone Zero Season 2 also brings a new Travel System & UI.
Travel System: Version 2.0 not only brings a larger map format but also adds very convenient features such as mini-map and navigation tools. In addition, you can now travel directly between Failume Heights and Hollow without going to the video store! This really helps a lot, doesn't it? UI: New UI combines all content and everything together, so that Proxies can now enjoy faster destination selection speed and clearer New Eridu's geography.In addition to the above, the game has also made improvements in plot and combat methods, but the information we know is not enough at present. We will continue to pay attention to official information in the future. I hope to get more new surprises.
By the way, there is another very important news - the developer is exploring ways to release it to different platforms. It is said that Zenless Zone Zero will land on Xbox in the future! This means Xbox owners will also have the opportunity to experience ZZZ's exciting combat, breathtaking visuals, and a whole new chapter in Proxy's adventure.
As 2nd anniversary of Honkai Star Rail approaches, players' attention is subtly switching between 3.2 Amphoreus campaign update and the preview information of 3.3. After seeing the gameplay kit of Hyacine leaked in Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.3, I was very curious - can this upcoming 5-star Wind Healer really change the current healing pattern of Luocha, Lingsha, and Huohuo?
The leak details Hyacine' s active abilities, her passive traces, her eidolons, etc. If the leaked information is accurate and has not changed after the release of Version 3.3, players can prepare for all these equipment in advance and pre-acquire them.
Version 3.3 LeaksAs an important NPC in Amphoreus plot line, Hyacine has aroused speculation since her debut due to her unique memosprite mechanism. Now HoYoverse has officially confirmed through official dynamics that this Remembrance Character will be launched as a playable character in May, and the equally popular Cipher will also be launched at the same time.
According to the current leaked information, we can clearly know the fact that players will consume numerous $1 in version 3.3, which may trigger a new round of resource hoarding craze.
Although version 3.2 has occupied the center of the topic with Castorice, Anaxa and Amphoreus campaign updates, with this leak of news, many players have set their sights on the more strategically profound version 3.3. According to the latest capture records of Honey Hunter World database, Hyacine's skill set presents an amazing composite healing characteristic, and its mechanism design around the dual core of Max HP & SPD may bring revolutionary changes to tactical system of Honkai Star Rail.
Hyacine Complete KitAccording to leaked information, Hyacine's Complete Kit contains three disruptive mechanisms:
Dynamic HP conversion system: Normal attacks directly link the percentage of maximum HP to maintain the output threat while stacking survival attributes. Memosprite Ica: This permanent summons inherits 50% of Hyacine's maximum HP. It can not only achieve full automatic endurance through out-of-turn healing, but also has a unique gain stacking mechanism. Petrichoric Clear Skies state: Three-turn Petrichoric Clear Skies state triggered by using Ultimate, at which time Hyacine will heal all team characters. The amount of healing is a certain percentage of her own maximum HP plus a fixed value.When Hyacine is in Petrichoric Clear Skies state, Ica will take action immediately after Hyacine uses a skill. When Ica triggers Talent's healing effect, it will restore additional HP to friendly targets. This powerful healing power can make the team worry-free, which makes Hyacine a good choice for players to build a team.
It is particularly worth noting that Ica is a non-turn-based action - this memosprite that does not appear on the action bar can trigger healing after any friendly unit acts. This kind of detachment from the traditional restriction mechanism completely breaks the tactical framework of the existing healing role. When paired with new Relic set Warrior Goddess of Daythunder, Ica's Gentle Rain effect triggered each round can provide an additional 15% team crit damage. Hyacine's design that deeply binds survival and output gain makes Hyacine's strategic value far beyond traditional healers.
Ideal BuildThe exclusive Relic Daybreak Thunder Valkyrie mentioned in the leaked intelligence is clearly designed to target Hyacine's mechanical pain points:
2-piece: It can increase the player's SPD by 60%, which also directly relieves the pressure of Hyacine build. 4-piece: When the treatment is triggered, it gains Gentle Rain state, providing an additional 6% SPD and 15% team critical damage.This set of Relics perfectly meets Hyacine's need for SPD and also forms a perfect closed loop with her own abilities. This makes it possible for her to become the most powerful healing profession and one of the characters with best sustain in Honkai Star Rail.
In terms of lineup matching, the synergy between Hyacine and Tribbie is particularly prominent - Tribbie can increase its own maximum HP according to the total maximum HP of its allies, so HP limit increase provided by Hyacine can be converted into double benefits, and this mechanism linkage may give birth to new tactics.
However, its strict build requirements may also become a problem - in order to exert the full strength, players need to obtain Relic and Ornament pieces with SPD as the sub-stat to meet her needs for SPD. This may require players to consume a lot of game resources to achieve. This high investment and high return feature may make Hyacine a good helper for krypton gold players. Civilian players may need to wait a little for the subsequent mechanism.
In any case, for players who lack a talented healer, Hyacine will be the best choice, and we look forward to her arrival bringing us more surprises!
Path of Exile was originally initiated by a group of fans who love Diablo 2 and hope to bring new vitality to ARPG through their own efforts. After several years of development and testing, Path of Exile was officially released as a free PC game in 2013 and quickly won the love of numerous players. Since then, through regular seasonal league events, Path of Exile has continued to provide players with fresh content and maintain its long-term vitality.
As for Path of Exile 2, it has developed from a large expansion originally envisioned to an independent and complete game, bringing players new mechanisms, career choices, and rich story background and campaign experience. Path of Exile 2 emphasizes the depth and details of the construction, allowing players to freely combine various powerful skill trees, many loot options, and numerous $1 drops.
The currently known information includes some key points about the introduction of newly introduced mechanisms, improvements in gameplay, and the existence or non-existence of a micro-transaction system. In addition, the official also announced the expected release time so that long-awaited players can be prepared.
Path Of Exile 2 Release DateFrom Diablo 4, its expansion Vessel of Hatred, to the upcoming full launch of Last Epoch, ARPGs have had a great few years. The highly anticipated Path of Exile 2 was originally scheduled to be officially released on November 15 and was expected to be the next big hit in the resurgence of this genre.
However, developer Grinding Gear Games recently confirmed that the early access release of Path of Exile 2 will be postponed to December 6.
Although fans are disappointed with the game’s delay, many players still express understanding and support. In order to ensure the quality of the game and the experience of players, the development team does need more time to polish and perfect the game.
The development team has also stated that this delay is a hard decision. They are well aware that this may disappoint and dissatisfy some players, but they firmly believe that this is necessary. They hope to bring the smoothest release experience to players as much as possible through this delay.
But these specific reasons also make the delay a double-edged sword.
Pros Of Being DelayedThe development team detailed the main reasons for the delay in the video, announcing the delay as follows:
Server-side infrastructure work is taking longer than expected. The development team is working hard to ensure the stability and performance of the game in order to provide players with a smooth and trouble-free gaming environment. All accounts for Path of Exile and Path of Exile 2 need to be integrated, even across consoles, to ensure that players can access all PoE micro-transactions acquired over the years. Migrating the database and creating a new system is a critical process because it involves backward compatibility of all player data and ensuring that everything is accurate. The purpose of this is to prevent any player from losing any fees paid or having their account information messed up because of data migration.All the above reasons are related to ensuring a perfect release. Grinding Gear Games may release it before the original release date, but the team is worried that mistakes may be made. And given the large number of game releases in November and December, this delay actually creates more space for ARPG games, especially by spacing PoE 2 further away from Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred, reducing market competition.

Cons Of Being DelayedWhile the delay of PoE 2’s Early Access version is intended to ensure a more perfect release, it also brings potential disadvantages. If the release is not as smooth as Grinding Gear Games hopes, it may repeat some mistakes in PoE’s history.
PoE has encountered various problems in the past multiple League releases, which were because of game bugs or insufficient server capacity. Given the scale and complexity of PoE 2, it is difficult to fully guarantee that everything will run perfectly even after the delay.
In addition, there is also a concern that some players may still not be able to restore all the cosmetics earned in the previous game. If PoE 2 is accompanied by numerous new micro-transactions at the time of release, this situation may further exacerbate player dissatisfaction.
Players expect to seamlessly continue their journey in the new game, including keeping their hard-earned cosmetics and content. If this is not handled properly, it may affect players’ acceptance and satisfaction with the new game.
For developers, ensuring game quality and player experience is always the top priority. Especially for highly anticipated works like PoE 2, any adjustments to the release time need to be treated with caution.
Therefore, although the change in the date of PoE 2 early access phase may cause concern or even worry to some players, in the long run, if such an adjustment is to give the development team more time to polish the product and solve problems, then it may be a good thing.
Dear Diablo fans, I believe you have also paid attention to the recent information about the upcoming Path of Exile 2 Early Access. However, many Diablo 4 players refuse to consider trying it. This is largely because POE 2 is basically the opposite of Diablo 4, whether it is the extremely scary game atmosphere, the convoluted main story, or the extremely difficult endgame adjustment that will make you cry for the precious world of Sanctuary.
So what about you? Have you considered giving up everything you love in Diablo 4 to play POE 2? With this in mind, we are here to discuss all the reasons why you absolutely hate Path of Exile 2. Buckle up and let’s go!
1. Skill Tree ComplexityFirst, let’s talk about freedom. In Diablo 4, you have a nice and neat skill tree, you can randomly select some abilities, maybe swap out one or two Legendary Aspects, and then enjoy the game. Your build is simple, clean, and easy to manage.
But Path of Exile 2 is the exact opposite. GGG doesn’t believe in simplicity, they give you a huge passive skill tree, which looks complicated and difficult to manage. You have to spend more time to understand and master it to ensure that the build you create is not a poor character in the end. If you are willing to challenge the difficulty, then good luck.
2. Disaster Skill Gem SystemLet’s start talking about Skill Gem System. The developers of POE always seem to think about how to make the skills as complex as possible. For example, add some Support Gems to it, mix them, and link them. This means that your build is either brilliant or a complete disaster. However, the latter is often more likely.
If you have enjoyed the game experience in Diablo 4 where you can run around, slam buttons, and then everything will die, you may be disappointed in POE 2. Path of Exile 2 wants you to use your brain. In PoE 2, you need to plan your build, consider your resistance, balance your equipment, and think about strategy. Here, if you are not fully prepared for the battle, you are dead. If you don’t check your elemental resistance, then you’re going to have a hard time surviving enemy fireballs.
3. Loot Is Hard To GetYou know what the good thing about Diablo 4 is? You can get some loot here and there, especially some common items, which appear very frequently. But in PoE 2, you can say goodbye to that simplicity. You have to stay focused at all times and check every item carefully. Do you think upgrading your equipment in Diablo 4 is also a challenge? In PoE 2, it is no exaggeration to say that you need a doctorate in Alchemy and Suffering to understand how to make and earn $1.
And in Diablo 4, because it is like a guided tour through hell, you have clear quest markers, a useful map, and everything points in the right direction, which means you never feel lost. With Path of Exile 2, they just throw you into this huge and dangerous world. There is no hand-holding guidance here. You need to rely on your wisdom to figure out where to go and what to do next. They want you to explore and discover things on your own.

4. Painful Endgame MechanicsIf you’ve made it to Diablo 4’s endgame, congratulations, you can now auto-play through Nightmare Dungeons, Pit and Helltides. But in PoE 2, the endgame is a whole different kind of difficulty.
You don’t just go through the same dungeons repeatedly, now you have to navigate the map, mod them, and face off against stronger and tougher bosses who don’t care about your easy farming sessions in the endgame. It’s almost like Path of Exile 2 wants you to keep challenging yourself, while the endgame is designed to break you. It’s like an endless maze of pain, with layers of bosses, modifiers, and mechanics that make your head spin. You need to keep grinding, optimizing, and pushing your build to the limit.
And what about those bosses in PoE 2? They’re not the friendly dungeon bosses from Diablo 4 that politely signal an attack. These guys have a million mechanics that will kill you in one blow if you blink.
But if that’s not your thing, maybe sticking with Diablo 4 is a better option, as its endgame is more like a casual Sunday stroll.
5. Lack Of Cosmetics ShopLet’s be honest, one of the best things about Diablo 4 was Cosmetics Shop. As long as you had enough Diablo 4 Gold, you could dress up your character with different accessories while still smashing demons. But in POE 2, all you get is a stash tab to store your massive loot collection and equally awesome cosmetics. But where’s the fun in that? No pay-to-win shortcuts? No boosters to finish the game quickly? It’s boring.
6. Content Is Difficult To ManageFinally, let’s talk about content. Now, Diablo 4 is a great game that’s simple and easy to manage. But the different expansions, leagues, events, and systems in POE make it hard to keep up. Do you really want to be bombarded with content updates and new leagues that completely change the way you play? That’s just too much work.
Overall, POE 2 is just too complex for most players. Too much to think about, loot management, and gameplay. Everything is simple in Diablo 4. Not only is the world easy to navigate, but the game will hold your hand and guide you step by step to the end. Unless, of course, you are really looking for a real challenge, a game with depth, complexity, and constant updates to keep it fresh. If you can really handle it, we also look forward to seeing you in Wraeclast.
With the growing development of the video game industry, competition has become increasingly fierce. In order to better attract players, more and more game producers have begun to focus on developing related content other than the game itself, and music is undoubtedly a good direction for publicity and development.
For an excellent game, high-quality soundtracks are essential. Good background music with appropriate insertion timing can allow players to experience a more realistic and immersive gaming experience during the game, thereby further enhancing the texture of the game.
Usually, the larger the scale and the wider the content of MMO games, the more attention will be paid to the production of soundtracks, and the same is true for Elden Ring. With the release of Shadow of the Erdtree DLC in June this year, the game has gained popularity again, and many people have noticed that the game also has a concert tour this year.
Compared with experiencing music during the game, or enjoying the game music alone through a music app with headphones, it is obviously a new experience to feel the performance of the game music brought by the orchestra and choir in a grand concert hall.
Accompanied by the moving performance of the orchestra, perhaps the players as listeners will not only be intoxicated by it but also remember their past efforts to fight for some $1 in the game. After all, music is one of the most moving and awakening art carriers in the world.
There is no doubt that this concert tour called Elden Ring Symphonic Adventure not only brings excellent music experience to players and listeners but also carries out an elegant promotion for the game itself. This makes more people curious about this game and the story in the game.
Based on this, we will introduce you to some information about Elden Ring Symphonic Adventure and its significance to Elden Ring.
Main Information Of This TourThe tour of Elden Ring Symphonic Adventure is actually an immersive concert global tour jointly organized by the game developer and Overlook Events. The first one was held in Paris, France on Saturday, January 13, 2024, and was conducted by Adrian Ronda Sampayo.
The second one was held on April 28 at Royal Albert Hall in London, England, performed by Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra and Crouch End Festival Chorus. After that, the concert came to Asia, with 4 tours in Thailand and Singapore in May and June, respectively. It is reported that the tour will also come to Germany in 2025 to continue the music performance journey of Elden Ring.
The Resonance Between Music And StorySince its release in 2022, Elden Ring has gained high popularity in a short period, becoming one of the most memorable game works in recent years, and even forming a phenomenal scale of video game popularity. And was named the best game of 2022 at the famous and prestigious game awards ceremony.
This tour sets Lands Between in game as the background of the music. This is a vast country once ruled by Queen Marika the Eternal. There are many biomes, underground cities, and floating ruins. No matter where the player is in Lands Between, he can always see the glittering Erdtree.
At the concert, philharmonic orchestra and choir brought epic music works full of the magnificent and ancient temperament of Lands Between to everyone present. The audience also took this opportunity to relive the experiences of Tarnished’s efforts to restore the balance of Circle of Eden.
In fact, the main story of the game is the core of the experience of this tour concert. The concert combines a detailed storyline, the moving performances of the orchestra and choir, and the original surround lighting design and sound effects on the stage to bring a rare immersive game music experience to all the audience who came to the scene.
The concert’s repertoire covers almost all the music related to the main bosses and endings in the game. On the scene, every time the orchestra cheered for all the hard-won victories in the game through performance, the audience would find this experience even more unforgettable.
As an audience member who came to the scene, whether you have played this game or not, you will definitely be able to feel the majesty of the world of Elden Ring through the story behind the music presented. And the epic feeling brought by the orchestra will further enhance the depth of the game story.
The Meaning That Concert Gives To The GamePreviously, Final Fantasy series of games had toured the world with Distant World series of music works, and Sonic and Kingdom Hearts also held exclusive game concerts. The emergence of these performances shows that holding concerts has become a fashion in the gaming industry.
Therefore, as a popular game in the past two years, whether it is to keep up with the trend or to further increase its popularity, the concert tour has brought considerable benefits to Elden Ring. The significance of holding a concert is far more than simply reproducing the music in the game. In fact, it is itself a grand event worth seeing.
In addition, not all game soundtracks can withstand the reproduction of orchestral music, but for Elden Ring, the noble and moving characteristics of orchestral music have become a better carrier of its music. On the stage, the repeated boss battles have become movie epics, and the special camera angles make each battle more vivid.
The moving music makes Elden Ring series more appealing as a game, and the richness and depth of the game story can also allow the producers to create more and better soundtracks. It can be said that the two complement each other. While playing a promotional role, this concert tour undoubtedly makes the combination of the two closes, making the game also a praised musical work.
Diablo 4 Vessel Of Hatred DLC live-action cinema showcase Neyrelle’s danger-packed journey into Nahantu along with her struggle with the power of Soulstone.
This gripping visual masterpiece is directed by Jon Watts, the mastermind behind three Spider-Man movies, Wolfs and more. With his outstanding directing ability, unique understanding of film art and profound grasp of game content, Jon Watts perfectly reproduces the wonderful plot in the game and brings a visual feast to players and audiences.

In this game, WBG, as a strong Team, certainly showed their best performance. But perhaps it was the revenge that gave BLG more motivation, so that they could always catch WBG’s minor mistakes and Fight back.
In the end, all the slight mistakes of WBG made BLG make a powerful blow at Final critical moment and won ultimate victory. But Scores of the two Teams were very close for most of the game, and only in the second half did BLG gradually gain the upper hand.
Because of many confrontations, in fact, the players of WBG and BLG already know each other very well. And this year BLG won two LPL games (League Of Legends Pro League).
The two Teams played three games this summer, and BLG won all of them. In the spring, BLG and WBG only played once during the group stage, and BLG won that game 2:0. In addition, WBG did not qualify for the 2024 Mid-Season Invitational, while BLG entered Finals.
T1 VS Gen. G (27 October, 14:00 CET–Paris)As two powerful Teams from South Korea, T1 and Gen. G have faced off against each other many times in various League Of Legends Events.
In the past, players who have been following the game will find that T1 usually has a hard time at the beginning of the season and struggles in the Korean League. But if you look at the situation on a global scale, they are unstoppable. Perhaps it is because the strength of all the domestic Teams is very good.

The game was long, but T1 dominated almost the entire game, with Gen. G falling behind by a large margin. Lehends struggled throughout Semifinal and were caught multiple times, and Zeus’ Double Kill was a tremendous boost for T1.
At 20 minutes into this game, the game looked promising for them. Gen. G had to regroup and focus. In the top lane, Gen. G needed to do everything they could to keep the situation stable and get two Kills.
No Team would give up easily at the last moment, and Gen. G was no exception. They tried to Fight until the end, but they were powerless at this point because of the loss of so many advantages before. Although they managed to get some local results, their efforts were not enough for ultimate victory.
In Fourth game, Gen. G closed Gold Gap with an ACE Fight and Destroyed two Turrets. However, T1 was determined not to let this Semifinal drag on to a fifth game. They wanted to winnow, and they did it.
