Gen.G Ruler pulls off a clutch pentakill against rivals T1
T1 was looking to contest the third Mountain Drake as Gen.G held their ground around the pit. T1 opened with a Tidal Wave fromRyu “Keria” Min-seok‘s Nami, but Gen.G dodged the slow-moving ultimate.
Han “Peanut” Wang-hoon Poppy also tried to get an advantage for his team by casting Keeper’s Verdict onChoi “Zeus” Woo-je‘s Ornn, but the T1 player managed to negate the ult with Bellow’s Breath.
Once Gen.G secured the Mountain Drake,Choi “Doran” Hyeon-joon‘s Gnar slammed bothMun “Oner” Hyeon-joon‘s Trundle andLee “Faker” Sang-hyeok‘s Azir into a nearby wall. Peanut tried to eliminate Faker, but the T1 mid laner kept himself safe with Stopwatch.
As soon as Faker came out of stasis, he dove straight into the pit to cast Emperor’s Charge, only to push back Gen.G’s two tankiest champions, Poppy and Gnar. With Faker now stuck in Gen.G’s backline alongside Zeus, Ruler’s Zeri quickly shot them down to kickstart his killing spree.
The AD carry ran to the mid lane to eliminate the rest of T1, and even dodged Nami’s Aqua Prison with a clutch sidestep.
Following the pentakill, Gen.G secured the Baron as well as a 3,000 gold lead that helped them close out the series with a sweep.
Ruler’s pentakill is the third pentakill in the 2022 LCK Summer Split. Just a few days before, T1’sLee “Gumayusi” Min-hyeongbagged his own penta with Zeri against KT Rolster.
