MSI Staff Profiles kick off with a short look into the champions of Europe – G2 Esports.
G2 Esports certified to the Mid-Season Invitational off of a historic lower bracket run, going 12-0, sweeping each collection to win the championship. Whereas Caps returned to his outdated self with crowds being allowed within the Berlin LEC studio, the participant that impressed me most was high laner BrokenBlade. He was clearly a high 3 participant in his function heading into the playoffs however shone vivid throughout the championship run, eliminating his hardest competitors in each Wunder and Alphari and proving to the world that he merely is the most effective high laner in Europe proper now. What was most inspiring about BrokenBlade was his potential to play Ornn; the Turkish high laner could be very well-known for his high-resource carry picks however he shocked many together with his unselfish weakside decide. What was much more spectacular was his potential to outplay his opponents – he performed Ornn as if it was a hyper carry champion!
The legendary mid/jg engine of Caps and Jankos got here alive throughout the ultimate two collection of G2’s run; particularly by the Grand Finals, the place they have been in full swing, comboing off of one another to create picks and push their benefit additional down Rogue’s throat. Though BrokenBlade has been merely transcendent in his play, I don’t assume the highest laners from the opposite three main areas are as dangerous as Wunder and Alphari; G2 will as soon as once more must depend on their legendary mid/jg duo to be the distinction makers within the early recreation so as to have an opportunity towards the Jap areas’ groups.
General, it’s no shock that G2 are energy ranked third so far as my tier record is worried. If their rookie bot lane can maintain out by means of the early recreation while Caps and Jankos propel the sport ahead, G2 as a good likelihood of perhaps beating out RNG and securing one other attainable MSI Finals berth.
