Gen.G charged into the League of Legends World Championship grand final with a 3-0 rout of Invictus Gaming on Saturday in Allen, Texas.
In the title match, Gen.G will oppose either three-time defending champion T1 or Bilibili Gaming, who square off in the second semifinal on Sunday in Allen.
The title match will be held at Barclays Center in New York on Nov. 14, with the champion receiving $1 million and the runner-up earning $800,000.
Nineteen teams began play in the $5 million event, with eight qualifying for the single-elimination playoff bracket. The knockout stage, consisting of best-of-five matches, is being played in Allen except for the grand final.
On Saturday, Gen.G eliminated Invictus Gaming by prevailing in 34 minutes on blue, 29 minutes on blue and 40 minutes on red. Park 'Ruler' Jae-hyuk registered a 23-8-33 kill-death assist ratio for all-South Korean Gen.G. Another South Korean player, Song 'Rookie' Eui-jin, paced Invictus Gaming with a 15-13-13 K-D-A ratio.
Gen.G have swept their two playoff matches by 3-0 scores after winning all three of their Swiss-stage matches and dropping only one game.
