Latin American hopes were dashed on the first day of eliminations at the League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational 2024 in China.

As the curtain rose on the first day of eliminations at MSI 2024, predictions were not in favor of either LATAM team going out, as Estral had shown his fiery style against T1 two days ago and LOUD were heavy favorites in their match against GAM Esports. But in a series of high-stakes showdowns, both teams were forced to bid farewell to the international stage.

The day began with a clash between PSG Talon and Estral Esports, a matchup full of anticipation and excitement as the first elimination of MSI 2024 approached. Estral had taken on world champions T1 with determination and conviction in their opening match of the tournament, despite their underdog status, which showed their aggressive playstyle. But what almost worked against the Korean powerhouse couldn’t even touch PSG Talon.

The APAC representative’s calculated approach and strategic synergy proved insurmountable for Estral, who struggled to find their feet amidst the relentless pressure of their opponents. Despite glimpses of their trademark aggression seen in the previous MSI match, Estral ultimately succumbed to PSG’s control of the Rift, marking the end of their MSI campaign.
