In League of Legends, European champions G2 Esports have had a strange few days. At the MSI 2022 tournament in LoL, despite 5 consecutive defeats, they qualified for the semifinals. Ironically, the rivals Evil Geniuses from the USA pulled themselves up. But in the semi-finals there is no more time for gags: Because there T1 and Faker are waiting for them, the longtime rivals.

Here’s how it went for G2 in the rumble stage:

  • At the MSI 2022, 6 teams, the champions of their regions, played against each other in the “Rumble Stage”. Only 4 teams progressed.
  • The European representatives, G2 Esports, won their first 4 games, also against the top favorites T1 (South Korea) and RNG (China): they did brilliantly.
  • But then G2 lost the next 5 games in a row. Even total underdogs like the Saigon Buffalos suddenly emerged victorious over G2, who had previously won 24 straight games. It was bewitched.

    • She will be the next new champ in LoL:

    Lost 5 times in a row – still slipped into the KO phase

    But because the other games ended favorably for G2, they were actually able to qualify for the semi-finals with the fifth loss in a row. So the tension was gone before the last rumble match.

    The jungler from G2 Jankos flippantly commented:

    “0-5 and we made it into the KO games. Our job here is done.”

    So what broke the losing streak? The North American team Evil Geniuses was waiting in the last game of the Rumble Stage. Europe and NA share a long-standing rivalry: fans and players tease each other again and again.

    Before the tournament, NA champions, Evil Geniuses, said they were clearly better than G2 Esports.

    G2 loves to tease North America a little.

    But as the tournament progressed, G2 kept winning against Evil Geniuses. And indeed this time G2 was able to win against EG despite the terrible series of defeats.

    You had that above all

    Jankos in his usual good mood:

    “We felt kind of lost during the 0-5 runs, but it’s good that North America always has our back!”

    The saying is commented on with numerous memes, one loves to give one to the North Americans.
