ADC player Park “Ruler” Jae-Hyuk from Gen.G will not play in the Asian Games 2022
Gen.G AD Carry Park “Ruler” Jae-hyuk has chosen not to participate in the 2022 Asian Games selection list. Jihun Lee, the team General Manager, shared this message on Twitter on April 14. According to the translation, Ruler did this for personal reasons in order to have better synergy with Lehends, Gen.G’s Support.
This has a number of ramifications for both him and the South Korean side. Ruler was previously on the 10-player shortlist of potential League of Legends prospects to represent South Korea at the Asian Games 2022. With his stepping down, DRX Deft was requested to take his place. T1 Gumayusi still remains the other bot lane carry potential. He is now the obvious favorite to take the position, as he will be competing against someone who was not previously a candidate for the reduced tryout list.
Another thing to keep in mind is that Gumayusi is much younger than Ruler, and he has much more potential than Ruler. If he maintains his current form and even improves, Ruler may find it tough to compete with him for a position on the team.
Having stated so, the player chose to withdraw from the competition. This demonstrates not just his belief in himself, that he can continue to play at a high level, but also his devotion to Gen.G. Many supporters would appreciate his decision to take time off with the express objective of developing his teamwork with his support.
