European and North American teams have historically underperformed in international League of Legends tournaments. At MSI 2024, G2 Esports restored hope among Western fans, and now they want other EU teams to believe in themselves.

After MSI 2024 on May 19, G2 Yike shared his thoughts on the event and European teams in general. He believes that European teams can continue to improve and surprise at international tournaments; they just need to "get hope back."
“I really believe that. I hope teams will get some hope again after seeing us play this MSI. Europe hasn’t done well in recent years. I think we definitely did a much better job at MSI this year,” Yike said in an interview with Sheep Esports.
Yike knows that G2 and other European League teams shouldn’t get overconfident. The LEC champions defeated Top Esports 3-0 in the lower bracket at MSI 2024, but then lost miserably 0-3 to T1.
