Faker was instrumental in G2 being eliminated from the League of Legends tournament MSI 2024 with a clear defeat against T1. But T1 themselves also had to admit defeat against BLG shortly afterwards, which meant they were eliminated from the tournament.
Who did Faker kick out of the MSI 2024? On May 17th Faker and his team T1 once again competed against their European rivals G2 in MSI 2024. The match was even more disappointing than expected for G2, as they were eliminated from the tournament with a score of 3-0.
Today, May 18, 2024, the world champion was fighting for a place in the final against the Chinese team Bilibili Gaming (BLG for short). Faker and his team were unable to prevail against BLG and will therefore not be able to compete against Gen G. in the final.
Eliminated just before the finish line
How did the game go? Overall, one can say that T1 and BLG had an exciting encounter. Already in the first game they attacked each other really aggressively. The game ended with a victory for the Chinese team after just 29 minutes. BLG then appeared very motivated and provoked the camera by announcing that their plan was now to win 3-0.
However, T1 picked it up again in the second game and Faker and his team equalized. Both teams then fought head-to-head until the score was finally 2-2. However, in the final round of their best-of-5 duel, Bilibili clearly dominated again, which ultimately led to victory. This led to Faker and T1 being eliminated from the MSI 2024.
Who will play in the final? After the elimination of T1, BLG and Gen G. will now compete against each other in the final of the MSI 2024. The match will take place tomorrow on May 19th. at 10 a.m. You can follow the whole thing on the LoL-Esport YouTube channel.
T1’s defeat against BLG will be difficult to cope with. Before their fight against G2, they were very confident about the MSI, but especially the fight against European teams.
