G2 Esports delivered a jaw-dropping performance in their second match of the lower bracket stage at the 2024 League of Legends MSI, sweeping Top Esports 3-0. Defying all expectations by staying true to their playstyle, the LEC first seed eliminated the LPL team, igniting EMEA fans’ spark of hope for the tournament. 

EMEA’s last hope in the tournament emerged victorious with a clean 3-0 score. In the win-or-die atmosphere of the elimination match, most predictions favored TES to come out on top, highlighting the talented Worlds-winning players in the roster. However, G2 once again proved to be the surprise package, stunning not only the audience with their performance, but also their opponents with their unconventional draft picks.
