In an interview after the game against G2 Esports at the MSI 2025, ADC carry Generation Gaming Ruler shared his thoughts on the current state of the team, his personal confidence, and the upcoming matches in the tournament. For Ruler , this tournament has been a crucial stage, where he needed not only to adapt to new conditions but also to regain the confidence that led his team to victories in the past.
After the previous season, where Ruler was one of the leading players in global tournaments, his comments about lacking confidence this season have sparked interest among fans and analysts. Amidst Generation Gaming 's predictable victory in the LCK 2025, the issue of confidence has become key to understanding the player's and his team's condition on the international stage.
A New Chapter for Generation Gaming
Generation Gaming continues to be one of the strongest teams on the global level, yet in recent months, it has been noticeable that the players' confidence, including Ruler 's, has undergone changes. This is particularly evident in his remarks during interviews and performances at the MSI 2025. Despite high expectations from the team, the results and internal dynamics at the start of the tournament were not as confident as fans anticipated.
Performance at MSI 2025
During the interview, Ruler candidly spoke about the difficulty of regaining confidence after returning to an international tournament. He emphasized that the main factor hindering his confidence was the communication barrier that existed during his time in the LPL , which is not as pronounced in Generation Gaming , where the team uses more stable communication.
"It was mainly because communication in the LPL wasn't as smooth as it is now in Generation Gaming . I didn't pay enough attention to learning the language, so I focused solely on my gameplay. I thought it was my best period in terms of play, but now, after returning, I need more time to regain my previous confidence."
Despite this instability, the player noted that his teammate, the new support, showed excellent results in the tournament, playing on par with experienced players. Ruler highlighted the importance of psychological preparation and confidence for each team member.
"The most important thing is to be comfortable and relaxed on stage. We focused on that, and based on his play today, I think he wasn't nervous. He played phenomenally."
Ruler also explained that it is important for him to demonstrate his confidence and experience when the team faces challenges, and he used elements in the game that reminded him of successes from the previous year.
"Yes, a little. I wanted to show the confidence I had at MSI 2023 when we were strong and played well."
What's most important in Ruler 's interview is his acknowledgment of the need for time to restore confidence and understand his role on the international stage. Despite past victories, this season, both the team and the player need to prove once again that their successes were not accidental but a determined move towards new heights. Success at MSI 2025 could be a great opportunity for Ruler and his team to make a statement on the world stage once more.
