LOUD, GAM, Estral, and FlyQuest were eliminated in the Play-Ins stage, with FlyQuest in particular being a surprising elimination considering theylost to a minor region team. And this comes after they broke records in the worst way in theirmatchup against T1.
And, though G2 looked promising after taking down Top Esports in decisive fashion, they ultimately fell to T1. Only for T1 to fall to BLG, pitting China’s #1 seed against Gen.G. And, ultimately, Gen.G came out on top.
BetweenPeyz setting a new kill recordand players like Chovy andKiin finally getting their chanceat international recognition, it’s been a historic tournament for Gen.G. The team has been cursed internationally, and they’ve finally broken that curse.
