Gen.G's Munchkin talks about the Chinese teams after facing off against FunPlus Phoenix in VCT Masters Shanghai
Gen.G is among the best teams playing in VCT Masters Shanghai. With a second-place finish in Masters Madrid and Pacific Stage 1, they are considered one of the favorites to win this event. Their team comprises sharpshooters who adapt and quickly retaliate against their opponents.
Coming into VCT Masters Shanghai, many wrote the Chinese teams off and even talked about how they wouldn't make it into the Playoffs. However, a top team like Gen.G seemed to have a very difficult time defeating China's FunPlus Phoenix.
During the post-match conference of Gen.G vs FunPlus Phoenix, Sportskeeda Esports asked Munchkin if he shared the same sentiment as others about the Chinese teams. Here's what he said:
"I don't think they are the weakest region. They are really really good. I think it was Boostio from 100 Thieves who said that. Let's see if Boostio is able to say the same thing when he faces a Chinese team."
With this win, Gen.G has become the first team to qualify for the VCT Masters Shanghai Playoffs.
