Top Esports Crushes Team Liquid at MSI 2024
In a stunning display of dominance, Top Esports (TES) delivered a devastating blow to Team Liquid during the MSI 2024 tournament, relegating the North American representative to the lower bracket.
TES’s Unyielding Performance Shakes Liquid’s Confidence
The bracket stage kicked off with TES showcasing their superiority, leaving NA’s last hope, Liquid, hanging by a thread. Despite high expectations for Liquid, the top seed from NA, their dreams were swiftly shattered by TES, the second seed from the LPL playing on their home turf.
TES Displays Superior Macro Play and Deep Understanding of the Meta
Despite their underwhelming performance in the play-in stage, TES entered the match against Liquid as the clear favorites. With their exceptional macro play and intricate knowledge of the lane swap meta, TES established their dominance on the Rift.
The first game set the tone for the series, with TES securing numerous kills to showcase their clean and impressive gameplay. They meticulously controlled the pace of the game by securing neutral objectives, starting with Void Grubs and dragons, while effectively stifling Liquid’s countermeasures. Game two was a repeat performance from TES, shutting down Liquid’s late-game scaling strategy in under 25 minutes and swiftly closing out the match.
TES Continues to Exhibit Unmatched Control
With a similar strategy in game three, the LPL representatives denied Liquid any opportunity to claim objectives, maintaining complete control over the Rift through stellar vision control, well-timed rotations, and overpowering skirmishes.
As TES progresses further in the tournament, questions arise regarding their ability to replicate these dominant performances against other formidable teams from the Eastern region.
Meanwhile, if Gen.G emerges victorious in their debut match at MSI 2024, Fnatic will face Team Liquid in the lower bracket, setting the stage for a thrilling NA vs. EU showdown that fans have eagerly anticipated.
