GEN Coach Kim Jeong-soo: Performed very well throughout the summer season, but it's a pity we couldn't finish with a championship

Live broadcast on September 8th In the LCK Summer Finals, GEN lost to HLE 2-3. Head coach Kim Jeong-soo and support player Lehends were interviewed by Korean media after the match.

Q: How would you evaluate today's match?

Kim Jeong-soo: We lost today's match, which is very regrettable. We performed very well throughout the summer season, but it's really a pity that we couldn't finish with a championship. However, the summer season is not the end, so we will regroup with the players and prepare for the World Championship. Today, we will conduct a post-match review and summary.

Lehends : First of all, I also feel that losing today's match is very regrettable. Everyone feels very regretful, it's really unfortunate.

Q: What are your resolutions for the upcoming major tournament?

Lehends : Although we couldn't finish the summer season with a championship, which is very regrettable, we still have the World Championship, which is an important tournament. Everyone has been working very hard so far, and we will continue to work even harder.

Q: What areas do you feel regretful about and need improvement?

Kim Jeong-soo: We waited for nearly an hour just now and communicated with the players. For example, in the first game, we had a significant advantage, but after taking Baron, we couldn't expand our lead, especially with many mistakes in the top lane team fight, which led to our loss. I feel that we almost had the victory in the first game, but it was very unfortunate to get overturned. As for the fourth game, to be honest, I think we didn't do well in the draft, so I won't say much about it. For the fifth game, we discussed for a long time whether to choose Ziggs or Corki, and we ended up choosing Corki, but from the draft perspective, it was very regrettable that we couldn't defend against their Vi and Ziggs combination. Also, in the advantageous situations of the fourth and fifth games, we made many mistakes while diving the tower, so we need to be calmer. Therefore, in today's match, both the players and I have many areas that need improvement. Although today's result is disappointing, we will strive to learn from it.

Q: What would you like to say to the fans?

Lehends : First of all, I feel very sorry for bringing such a regrettable result, so we will perform better in the World Championship. I know that everyone has put in a tremendous amount of effort during this difficult journey. So, I want to thank our coaching staff, our team leader, and team manager who supported us, as well as everyone who helped us, and of course, the fans. We won't stop here; we will work even harder and repay everyone with good results. Thank you very much.
