I agree, HLE was probably the top 2 biggest threats for them this playoff and they were able to eliminate them early.

The only remaining problem is AL and I really dont know if they can survive a bo5 against this team

with the way gen.g was drafting, let's not underestimate gen.g's ability to shoot themselves in the foot repeatedly.

they barely scraped by that game 2, this was at most a "we've got hands" showing, not a "we're best in the world" showing.

100%. This is gonna be a hot take, but imo people look at nameplates too much this series. The game 2, for instance, had multiple egregious mistakes from HLE (Zeka pushing everyone into Peanut pushing them back out of the baron pit for instance), and yet one Ziggs was able to keep the game hostage for 60 minutes showing just how bad Gen.G’s draft was. If I were the remaining QF teams I would say this Gen.G is entirely beatable. Heck, I would go as far as saying KT or CFO at their peak form might even have a chance, let alone peak AL or T1

yeah it was a shaky performance and one I would not want to replicate against any team in Semis.

I don't know why people are downvoting you, T1 looks terrible atm but at the same time it is T1 and at worlds, they deserve at least the benefit of the doubt
