Gen.G defeated Dplus KIA 2-1 in their 2026 League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) regular season Round 2 match held at LoL Park in Jonggak on the 2nd.

In the post-match interview, head coach Yoo Sang-wook remarked, "I'm relieved to have secured a win at such a critical juncture. Overall, the match unfolded as we had planned, and the players' performance was excellent."

Regarding Sion, who served as the main tank in Game 1, Coach Yoo expressed confidence in the team composition, stating, "We judged that as long as we didn't get swayed by the opponent's early-game strength, we would have the advantage."

He explained that picks like Aatrox and Nidalee in the following sets were chosen because "they are the champions our players handle best, and they play a key role in controlling the pace of the game." However, regarding the draft in Game 2, which resulted in a loss, he admitted, "I acknowledge there were mistakes, and we will work to address those shortcomings and improve our execution."

When asked about the bottom lane, which had shown some instability, Coach Yoo said, "It is true there were some mistakes, but as the entire team is working on improvements, it will soon lead to better results." He even framed the Game 2 loss positively, calling it "a chance to grow through feedback."

Gen.G's next opponent is Nongshim RedForce. Following that, they face a grueling schedule, including a trip to Vietnam for a match against KRX. Coach Yoo emphasized, "Rather than being overly conscious of external environments or the schedule, we will focus on properly showcasing what we have prepared."

He added, "Adapting to the new patch and managing our condition will be key, but we will continue to deliver good results to our fans through thorough preparation." Regarding the atmosphere following the announcement that 'Ruler' would face no disciplinary action, he concluded the interview by saying, "The entire roster is united with a fresh mindset to prepare well. I am grateful to the fans who never stop supporting us, and we will repay them with strong performances."
