In the first round of this year's MSI Win and Defeat Group Stage, the match between T1 and G2 is undoubtedly the most interesting, the two teams have played each other many times in international competitions, and G2 has also beaten Faker head-on several times. Far from it, in terms of performance in recent years, G2 only lost one final in the European LEC League last year and this year, and they are undoubtedly the strongest team outside of China and South Korea. T1 lost to GEN in the LCK Spring Finals, but many thought it was Zeus' lost title, and the team still maintained the excellent performance of last year's Worlds. G2 was the first team to come to Chengdu to prepare for MSI, and T1 also felt hot from the play-in tournament, and the double-elimination format allowed the team to play freely.

As can be seen from the first game of the series, both teams are not at their best, but the difference in strength between the two sides is relatively small. T1 isn't perfect and will make all sorts of mistakes, it's just that they're better at finishing matches. G2 is not afraid of the T1 name, and aggressively attacks in the game, trying to drag the opponent to their own pace. The two sides went back and forth to the tiebreaker, Caps and BB put on a brilliant performance, and Faker also stepped up after giving away two games, one against the Czar and the other against Ahri, helping T1 win the final victory. The two sides contributed a wonderful duel that the crowd enjoyed enough to watch, and this is the game we were looking forward to, although there were mistakes but we did our best.

G2 prepared a lot of routines today, such as the top laner Yasuo vs. cards, frequent lane changes to dismantle T1's bottom lane offense, and support Bush Blade Bobby to pursue early kills, and once the team helps Caps get the line right, he can feed back the other lanes to build the lead. As it stands, T1 is not very able to cope with the line change, and G2 is the team that uses the most lane changes in the spring, and they grasp this very well, which leads to T1 choosing a strong bottom lane or top lane, which always fails to play very well, and it is easy to lose resources such as nest bugs and dragons. As a result, Quisanti has a high priority in this game environment, not falling behind too much even after changing lanes, and the mid-line front row injury resistance and splitting the lineup work well.

Since BB was in good shape today, Hans Sama didn't play very well, so G2 didn't change lines frequently. G2 did not do as well as T1 in the BP of the entire series, they mainly relied on forcing T1 to take over the team in the early stage, and used chaotic battles to snowball, but the team chose Kgmo and Jinx, resulting in the support not being able to swim away, and the team battle was easily disjointed. Hans Sama's Jinx outfit in the fifth game is very problematic, he is the worst player in this series, Jinx, who led 2000 3-0 in the early stage, is replaced by other top LPL players to play, basically able to bring up the rhythm of pushing the tower and controlling the dragon, but this is also related to the fact that G2 is eager to expand the lead, but gives T1 Nakano a chance to counterattack.

Although T1 chose a lineup that believed in the individual abilities of the players in the fifth game, and was changed in the early stage, Faker's Ahri stepped up at the crucial moment and proved that his Hall of Fame skin was not for nothing. Except for a wave of bobby wall knocks, other times it can be described as a perfect play, and the key game dares to publish a killing book to improve the killing efficiency. Sara always felt that Bervis was a hero who ate a lot of resources but didn't have the opportunity to enter the game, and Yike got the pride of Kanavi's style, and if Nasejuani kept Jinx, he might win. G2 didn't enforce the resource control play to the end when they had a lane advantage in the bottom lane, and the double start of Jinx and Bervis was too ideal.

After losing two rounds, the perfect ultimate move in the Tsar Wild Zone, and Ahri's single-handedly killing Jinx, really made me shout at the desperate Lee Sang-hyuk. Both Caps and Faker made serious individual mistakes and lacked alertness to Gank, but it was Faker who stepped up in the fifth inning, and Caps struggled to make a sound in teamfights after being caught dead several times in a row. However, after G2 has completed the adjustment in the lower bracket, they are still a team to be reckoned with, and BLG also needs to be ready for T1. The meeting of two super-popular teams around the world naturally led to a record high in MSI ratings, with a peak of 2.4 million viewers overseas.
