First Stand 2026 day 2 recap: Gen.G domination, and LCS’ redemption against Brazil

Day 2 of First Stand 2026 was slightly less exciting on paper, as no one expected JDG to offer any resistance to Gen.G, and the LYON vs. LOUD matchup is simply not a top-billing one.

Unfortunately, much of this ended up being true. The first match of the day was between the Korean number 1 seed Gen.G, whose players are once again in a very good form, entering the season’s first international tournament as heavy favorites. Against them is a team that used to be very hot-and-cold, but with Wong “Tabe” Pak Kan as a head coach, they seem to have stabilized a bit.
