The teams G2 and T1 compete against each other in the MSI in League of Legends, with G2 suffering a loss in their first encounter. Despite hopes for improvement, G2 also lost the second encounter, leading to their elimination and surprising no one in the community.
What game is it about? The teams G2 and T1 are currently competing against many other international teams in the MSI (Mid-Season Invitational).
In their first encounter, G2 was unable to defeat the world champion and had to take a 3:2 loss. On May 17 at 11 a.m., they were supposed to get another chance to turn the tide.
Crushing defeat for G2
What was the result of the match? The second encounter went even worse for G2 than the first, after they were initially confident. They lost to T1 with a score of 3:0. While they were completely overwhelmed by the world champion in the first game, there was still hope in the second and third games that they might make a comeback.
In the second game, G2 initially managed to gain an advantage, but they could not maintain it throughout the game. Just before losing the second round, they achieved a Quadra Kill, which temporarily postponed their defeat, but hope was quickly dashed by Faker, who sealed their second loss.
The third game also did not go much better for G2, leading to a loss and their elimination from the MSI. The players appeared visibly affected after the defeat. The post-game interview with G2’s top laner, Brokenblade, had to be paused briefly as he struggled to hold back tears.
How does the community react to G2’s elimination? Even in a discussion in a Reddit thread, many users seem unsurprised by the loss, even though some did not expect such a clear defeat.

T1 realized that they cannot play against Gen.G in the finals if they lose the game, and they closed the deal.

The West is indeed not back.

T1 proves once again that no matter how “wobbly” they look, they are always a threat if given time to understand the meta.
