Gen.G already played in Allen. 23 October, Swiss, Bo1. Gen.G won 1-0. That is still IG's only loss at these 
Worlds.
The rematch is a Bo5, 7 November, 16:00 CST (UTC-6, 23:00 CET). The series page is the first semi. Brooklyn is on the other side of it.
They opened Swiss against each other
23 October, 12:00 CST. First Swiss match of the tournament, Gen.G vs IG. One map. Gen.G took it. IG then went TSW 1-0, HLE 1-0, LYON 2-1 and left Swiss 3-1. The hole in the sheet is still that opening Bo1.
Gen.G never trailed a series. IG 1-0, HLE 1-0, LYON 2-1. Swiss 3-0. Then LYON again in quarters, 3-0. Four series, four wins, one map dropped all tournament, the 2-1 against LYON in Swiss. The recap is the 3-0. The semi is the first time someone gets five maps against them here.
IG already did the hard LPL quarter
IG beat Top Esports 3-1. Game 2 went 47:09 and TES took it, three barons to none. IG still closed the series. Game 4, TES finished with zero towers.
That is not a clean 3-0. It is a roster that already survived a 47-minute hole in a Bo5. 
TheShy, 
Rookie, 
Meiko, 
Wei, 
JiaQi. Last ten finished series: 7-3. Gen.G's last ten: 9-1. The 9-1 includes the Bo1 they already won against this IG.
Five maps, not one
A Bo1 in Swiss is a coin you do not get to flip again. A Bo5 is five. Gen.G have not lost a series at this Worlds. IG have lost one match, and it was this opponent, on this stage, on day one.
If the Swiss map was the whole story, this article would be a formality. It is not. IG just took TES to four games and still won. Gen.G just 3-0'd the team IG beat 2-1 to get out of Swiss. Same building. Different format.
The other semi is BLG vs T1, 8 November, 16:00 CST.
