Gen.G defeated Dplus Kia 2-0 in the last regular league match of the 2023 ‘LoL Champions Korea (LCK)’ spring season held at the LCK Arena in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 18th. Gen.G recorded 13 wins and 5 losses (+17) with the victory that day, confirming the completion of the regular league in second place following T1.
Jung Ji-hoon played a big role as Yone in the second set. Jung Ji-hoon played Yone in both sets that day, and he struggled before the line, but in the second half of the team fight, he dealt critical hits to the opponent’s main dealers and became the number one contributor to the team’s victory. He finished the second set with 9 kills, 1 death and 5 assists and was selected as POG.
Crying and crying at ‘chone’. In fact, Jung Ji-hoon’s Yone remained as a painful memory for Gen.G fans. He defeated his current team with Yonero in a match once morest Gen.G in 2021 when he was a member of Hanwha Life Esports. At that time, Jung Ji-hoon recorded 11 kills, 1 death and 8 assists once morest ‘The Fellowship of the Ring’.
The bad relationship between Gen.G and Jeong Ji-hoon ended at the end of that year when Jeong Ji-hoon joined Gen.G. The taste of Yone that he is presenting now is even sweeter for Gen.G fans because he has already experienced it himself. After moving to Genji, Jung Ji-hoon is recording 7 wins and 1 loss with Yone. He added 3 wins and 0 losses last year, including 3 wins and 1 loss, and 2 wins once morest Diple Kia this year.
Although he is not an invincible champion, Jung Ji-hoon has the confidence that he can overcome Yone’s weakness, weak lane battles, with his individual skills. At the press conference following the Diple Starvation, he said, “Yone is difficult when he gets countered in the laning battle, but my ability is to solve the laning battle well.” It is a ban-pick that only we can do.”
