G2 Esports Suffers Three Consecutive Losses at MSI Rumble Stage
G2 Esports, the LEC champions who had previously won 24 consecutive games, faced a defeat at the hands of PSG Talon in their recent matchup at the MSI rumble stage. This loss comes as a reality check for the team.
Early Game Struggles Worsen G2’s Chances
One of the main factors contributing to G2’s loss was their weak performance in the early game. By giving up four early kills and conceding three dragons just after the 15-minute mark, G2 found themselves in a disadvantaged position from the very beginning. PSG took advantage of G2’s early struggles and quickly established a lead of 5,000 gold. G2 didn’t secure their first kill until 25 minutes into the game.
PSG’s Victorious Moment and Unified’s Dominance
The turning point for PSG came with their acquisition of the Infernal Dragon Soul, which served as their win condition in the later stages of the contest. Unified, PSG’s AD carry, played a pivotal role in the team’s success through effective teamfighting, sieging, and damage output. His Tristana stood out with a scoreline of 7/0/7 and an impressive average damage per minute of 541, as reported by Oracle’s Elixir, a League statistics site.
Challenging Road Ahead for G2
Although G2 currently holds a 4-3 record in the rumble stage, their path to the semifinals has become more difficult. With PSG and Evil Geniuses just one game away from overtaking them, G2’s third place position is at risk. Only the top four teams out of the remaining six will advance to the knockout stage.
G2 will attempt to break their three-game losing streak in a matchup against T1 later today. On the other hand, PSG will face Saigon Buffalo, who are yet to secure a win, in their next game.
