BBG News

In a highly anticipated contest of the week, Ruler made his return to the LCK arena following a two-year absence, and played a crucial role as Gen.G clinched a 2-0 victory over HLE.

Regarded as one of the top attack damage champions globally, Park “Ruler” Jae-hyuk makes his long-awaited return to the League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) following a two-year stint at the League of Legends Pro League (LPL) with JDG. Facing off against the LCK Summer Split champions, Ruler’s outstanding performance was widely lauded throughout both matches, generating much excitement among fans. This highly anticipated matchup marked a significant highlight in the LCK Cup 2025 tournament.

An anticipated comeback

2018 through 2022 saw Ruler representing Gen.G, a period that added extra excitement to fans’ anticipation of his comeback. Having committed to a three-year contract, we can expect his presence to continue gracing the Korean esports scene for some time.

Four years back, it’s just as memorable watching him go head-to-head with Park “Viper” Do-hyeon during the 2021 League of Legends World Championship (LoL Worlds) semifinals. In that year, they were both regarded as the world’s top ADC players, so their matchup was like a Hollywood blockbuster.

Gen.G vs Hanwha Life

Initially, HLE took the lead by securing the first kill and capitalizing on aggression in the top and bot lanes. Yet, dives that didn’t go as planned for Zeus on the bottom lane also contributed to this lead. Nonetheless, Gen.G started to regain their footing with strategic control of objectives and impressive team fights.

The final match between the Ruler and Ashe proved to be a strategic masterpiece for Gen.G, but it was the second game where Ruler showcased his exceptional skills using Jinx that sent fans into a frenzy on social media. In this game, we witnessed an outstanding 1v1 battle between Viper and Ruler, demonstrating their top-tier skills.

The Ruler gap

This video went viral across social platforms. His outstanding performance throughout the game earned him a rating of 9.7/10. Numerous individuals have been expressing their admiration for Ruler, commending both his gaming skills and sportsmanship during the entire match.

Wadid, a LCK Global stream analyst, expressed his delight at seeing the Noxian ADC playstyle return on the Noxian Rift, commending Gen.G for their proactive approach that was missing last season. In his opinion, Gen.G had been overly cautious and were constantly seeking the ideal setup rather than generating opportunities.

Fans frequently pointed out his shout for a pentakill in the second match, an action Ruler was known for throughout his career. They commend him for maintaining that fierce demeanor even after leaving the LCK following years of play there. Even supporters of HLE joined in on the humor.

2025’s LCK Cup has been captivating thus far, revealing previously unseen aspects of pro players owing to the novel season regulations like the Fearless Draft. Be sure to keep track of all LCK Cup schedules and match outcomes right here.
