Gen.G claimed the championship on March 1 by sweeping BNK FEARX 3–0 in the 2026 LCK Cup Finals, held at Kai Tak Arena in Hong Kong. Gen.G’s performance was outstanding. By shutting down BNK FEARX’s strengths as much as possible, they steadily executed the top-side-focused snowball they’re confident in, successfully overpowering their opponents. Below is the post-match interview with Gen.G after winning the 2026 LCK Cup.

How do you feel about winning the 2026 LCK Cup?

Head Coach Yu “Score” Sang-uk: The players showed great form, and we were able to win. I feel good.
Kiin: We won more cleanly and easily than I expected, without really being in danger. That helped me stay focused, and it felt comfortable.

Canyon: Everyone on the team played well, so we could win—and I’m happy.

Chovy: The result is 3–0, but when we were actually playing, each set was intense. It’s a 3–0 we earned by playing well, so it feels great.

Ruler: I think the draft went well, and my teammates played great too—so we got this win.
Duro: BNK FEARX are a team that plays well, so I didn’t think it would be easy. But things worked out more smoothly than I expected, so it feels clean and good.

Compared to other venues, what felt different about playing here in Hong Kong?

Ruler: At other venues, there are always small inconveniences with monitor setups, but this time there was nothing like that at all.

Diable had incredible momentum. Do you think he could aim for a Worlds title in the future?

Ruler: He definitely has the potential. He’s already good now, but I think he can become good enough to win Worlds someday.

You pulled off a Dragon steal today. What were you feeling in that moment?

Canyon: In Game 3, we were lucky. In Game 2, I thought it would be good if we could deny their first Dragon. The steal in Game 2 was the more meaningful one in terms of how it affected the game.

A huge number of fans in Hong Kong were cheering for Gen.G.

Ruler: This is my first time playing an LCK event overseas, and I’m truly grateful. I think the way to repay the fans is to win the next tournament, the First Stand Tournament. I’ll definitely win it.

What was the key to today’s draft? And where do you think Gen.G’s strength comes from?

Head Coach Yu “Score” Sang-uk: We worked hard to keep balance in the bottom lane. This was our first tournament together at Gen.G, and each player really understands their role and executes it well.

BNK FEARX grew tremendously throughout this tournament. Do you think there’s a strong chance they’ll continue this level of form into the upcoming LCK regular season?

Head Coach Yu “Score” Sang-uk: They’re already a very good team, and I think they have plenty of room to grow. If the meta and other factors line up well for them, I think they could even qualify for Worlds.

Why did you pick Annie? You played it very well.

Chovy: We gave up Azir, and mid lane picks got pushed back into Phase 2. Considering what the mid role needs to do these days, I judged that Annie was the best option in that situation.

Ultimately, Gen.G’s goal is to win Worlds. What did you feel over the course of this tournament?

Head Coach Yu “Score” Sang-uk: They’re players who are already performing at a very high level. If we keep working hard and I can continue helping them a lot, I think we’ll get good results.

First Stand will be held in Brazil. It’s a very long flight—how are you planning to spend the travel time?

Ruler: It’s more than 30 hours, so honestly it’s scary. I’m planning to download a lot of things to watch. After arriving in Brazil, I’m really looking forward to the food and everything else.

Which bottom-lane duo from the LPL would you like to face?

Ruler: I want to play against Bilibili Gaming, and I’d also like to face Anyone’s Legend, where Coach Helper is.

Do you think keeping the same roster as last year influenced this championship run?

Chovy: As far as I know, both Gen.G and BNK FEARX are teams that kept their rosters together. I think maintaining the roster helps more than I expected.

BNK FEARX are known for playing utility supports well. How did you plan to respond?

Duro: I’ve known for a long time that Kellin is very good at utility supports. So I was cautious, but we didn’t think we were worse than them—we went in with the mindset of just not making mistakes. Since last year, I’ve felt they’re a team that plays around bottom and jungle, so we paid close attention to bottom-focused drafting.

Please share a word on your mindset heading into First Stand.

Head Coach Yu “Score” Sang-uk: With First Stand coming up, we’ll make sure to get plenty of rest and go in with good condition so we can achieve strong results there as well. Thank you to the fans.
