OKSavingsBank BRION’s Upset Victory Over Gen.G at LCK Cup 2025
In a surprising turn of events, the team from OKSavingsBank BRION managed to secure a stunning 2-0 victory against Gen.G during the official match at the LCK Cup. This unexpected outcome was not anticipated, especially since Gen.G was utilizing their strongest roster. However, OKBRO’s impressive performance allowed them to triumph over the MSI 2024 champions with a score of 2-0.
Notably, in the second match of the series, Ruler utilized the champion Varus while Clozer opted for Azir. Many spectators still recall the semifinals of the 2023 World Championship, where Ruler could not secure a victory against a team that played Azir. Interestingly, Clozer was formerly a member of the T1 roster.
As a result, post-match, Ruler drew significant attention from commentators. Many opinions suggested that the recent struggles of T1 may have contributed to the psychological pressure that affected Gen.G’s performance. The dynamics of the match did not unfold as expected, leading to a substantial impact on Gen.G’s gameplay.
Fan Theories on Gen.G’s Defeat: The “9-3 Curse”
Across various platforms, the League of Legends community has speculated about a phenomena they refer to as the “9-3 curse.” In many professional VALORANT matches, when a team holds a 9-3 lead, they often face unexpected losses due to late-game comebacks.
Before the match between OKBRO and Gen.G began, the baron stats showed a dismal record of 3 wins to 9 losses. Consequently, the victory for OKBRO over Gen.G with a 2-0 scoreline has led many viewers to draw parallels with this “curse” within the VALORANT community.
However, it may just be a peculiar coincidence, as OKBRO showcased their strongest lineup and secured a well-deserved victory. For Gen.G, this defeat serves as a crucial lesson for the team to reflect upon and improve as they continue their journey in the LCK Cup 2025.
