Khan praised AL's performance in the scrim! GEN coach said that operations and teamfights were completely suppressed

June 26th news, as the 2025 Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) approaches, with only three days left before the opening game, discussions about the major teams are gradually heating up. Although the game has not yet started, LPL and LCK are still the regions that are generally favored by the outside world. Among them, GEN, T1, BLG and AL are considered to be the most likely favorites to win the championship, and GEN's voice has always been high. However, some different voices have been heard on the Korean Internet recently, especially the high evaluation of AL by former LCK legendary top laner Khan and GEN's current coach Kim Jeong-soo, which has attracted a lot of attention.

In a live broadcast, Khan said: " I heard that AL performed very well in the training match. " At the same time, GEN coach Kim Jeong-soo also revealed a similar view in an interview. He said: " In the training match with AL, we were completely suppressed in terms of operations and team battles. " Kim Jeong-soo once coached IG and has a deep understanding of LPL teams. He frankly said that the team that needs to be most vigilant in this MSI is AL , and bluntly said " They are a very strong team . "

When talking about the players, Kim Jeong-soo made special mention of GEN's mid laner Chovy , and he gave him a very high evaluation: "Chovy is simply a monster. Every time I watch him play, he can bring surprises. He is getting stronger all the time. " However, the coach also emphasized that although AL is in excellent shape in the training matches, he still needs to keep a steady mentality on the court and take every game seriously as if it were his last chance.

Judging from the overall performance this season, the status of the five AL players is remarkable. Veteran Saint Gunge has rich experience in competitions and has a stable mentality, so there is no need to worry; Jungler Tarzan is quite strong, and as long as he remains stable against LCK teams, he can perform at his expected level; Mid Shanks has experienced a more stable mentality after the " ticket selling " incident, and his skills have also improved significantly; AD player Hope has experienced several twists and turns in his career, but his growth is visible to the naked eye; rookie support Carl has performed well this season and has a promising future.

In addition, the former FNC head coach released a MSI player rating list before the game. GEN's top, mid and jungle ranked first, and the bottom lane combination ranked third; T1 's bottom lane was rated first, Oner ranked third, and Faker and Doran tied for fourth. AL's entire team ranked second, BLG 's top and mid ranked third, bottom lane ranked fourth, and jungler Beichuan ranked sixth. The LEC coach's high evaluation of AL also shows that not only the Asian region, but also the European region is optimistic about the potential of this emerging powerhouse.

It is worth mentioning that although Faker is only ranked fourth, this does not affect his status in the hearts of fans. After all, Li Ge is a real five-time champion. He has performed "god-level " with low ratings in many world championships . Last year's Galio in the world championship made people dream back to S7 .

As for BLG 's Beichuan, it is understandable that he ranks low, after all, he was not well-known before joining BLG and lacked experience in major competitions. But as long as he can maintain his performance rhythm in the LPL Spring Split and assist the team in stable output, he is worthy of recognition.
