G2 Esports delivered a stunning performance in their second match of the lower bracket stage of the 2024 League of Legends MSI, defeating Top Esports 3-0. The LEC top seeds stayed true to their style of play and eliminated the LPL team, raising the hopes of EMEA fans 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 players predicted TES to emerge victorious, highlighting the talented Worlds-winning players in the roster. However, G2 proved to be the surprise once again, surprising not only the crowd with their performance, but also their opponents with their unconventional draft picks.
TES was expected to capitalize on their bot lane duo heading into the series, and it was exactly there that G2 struck first and hard. In the first two games of the series, Steven "Hans Sama" Liv and Mihael "Mikyx" Mehle Yu "JackeyLove" Wen-Bo and Tian "Meiko" Ye dominated from the start, building a significant gold lead that they capitalized on throughout both games until TES' nexus collapsed.
