League of Legends MSI 2024 LoL Park Arena Viewing Party Live Bracket Stage Match T1:G2 3:0 T1 Victory

Hello!

It was 6 PM today, and finally, the long-awaited

MSI Bracket Stage Round 3

match between T1 and G2 took place!

I heard there was a viewing party at LoL Park in Jongno, Seoul,

While the weekend's Arena viewing party is limited to team member memberships and first-come, first-served entry,

today, Friday, was open to everyone, regardless of membership,

with first-come, first-served entry starting at 4 PM.

I got off work at 2:30 PM and headed straight there!

There were MSI posters all over the entrance to LoL Park.

T1's Faker and GEN.G's Chovy.

Around 3 PM on a weekday, an hour before first-come, first-served entry,

even though I arrived relatively early, the line was incredibly long.

There were many international fans as well. As expected, T1 is very popular.

There were also MSI commemorative stickers

available to take.

After waiting for an hour,

I received my viewing party ticket

and put on the wristband.

I was a little worried that I might not be able to get in because of potential capacity limits,

but thankfully, it was a weekday, so I was able to enter,

and I got seat E5, row 9!

Finally, I'm inside the LoL Park Arena for the first time.

I've always watched the live broadcasts from home,

but my first time attending a match is at a viewing party.

My seat, E5, row 9.

It was an end seat, so it was comfortable,

I had a good view of the player's area,

and the visibility was pretty good.

The picks in the first set were really interesting.

First, G2 banned Xin Zhao, K'Sante, Lucian, Ashe, and Senna,

focusing their bans on the bottom lane.

Broken Blade picked Jax top,

Yike picked Kha'Zix jungle,

Caps picked LeBlanc mid,

Hans Sama picked Draven ADC,

and Mikyx picked Poppy support,

choosing an aggressive composition.

In response, T1 banned Rek'Sai, Zac, Tristana, Nidalee, and Lee Sin,

primarily targeting the jungle.

Zeus picked Camille top,

Oner picked Sejuani jungle,

Faker picked Orianna mid,

Gumayusi picked Kalista ADC,

and Keria picked Renata Glasc support,

choosing a more stable composition.

G2 players started off aggressively,

especially Mikyx's Poppy support with Blade's Edge and Ignite, showing a fierce early game.

But later, as T1 players became more stable,

they couldn't withstand the damage and melted away.

Zeus' incredible Camille superplay and

Oner's Sejuani

successfully initiated engages together, and

Gumayusi's 0-death Kalista ADC

led them to a dominant victory in the first set.

In the second set, G2

banned Senna, Ashe, Renata Glasc,

Vayne, and Twisted Fate,

picked Urgot top, Viego jungle,

Aurelion Sol mid, Draven ADC,

and Nautilus support.

T1 banned Orianna, Taliyah, Tristana,

Zac, and Rek'Sai,

picked K'Sante top, Poppy jungle, Azir mid,

Varus ADC, and Alistair support.

Personally, looking at the ban/pick phase,

securing Poppy first,

and with the opponent banning Vayne and Twisted Fate,

picking K'Sante first, I thought it was a very

well-executed ban/pick phase.

And personally, in my opinion,

the second set was the most entertaining one.

There were a lot of exciting moments in this set.

There were constant incidents in the mid lane early on,

with Aurelion Sol scaling well and making things a bit difficult,

but Zeus' K'Sante kept

holding on and keeping up.

They won team fights and Baron plays, and

with the Nexus about to be destroyed, Draven killed the remaining players

and got a quadra kill, almost leading to disaster.

But in the end, the legendary Faker

teleported and backdoored

the Nexus with one health remaining

to secure the win.

The third set saw the picks I was worried about.

G2 banned Senna, Ashe, Azir, Vayne, and Camille,

picked Jax top, Ivern jungle, Tristana mid,

Varus ADC, and Braum support.

They picked the infamous Ivern and Tristana combination,

and I was a bit worried because I had seen them

use those champions very well in previous matches.

In response, T1

banned K'Sante, Renata Glasc, Poppy, Zac, and Rek'Sai,

picked Rumble top, Vi jungle, Taliyah mid,

Kalista ADC, and Nautilus support.

I think the final third set was incredibly tense.

G2's Tristana mid scaled well,

and Ivern and Braum were incredibly

reliable.

Zeus' Rumble

struggled early on,

but Keria's final

engage

cut down Caps' Tristana,

leading to a decisive team fight victory.

They destroyed the Nexus with a Baron play,

and T1 won with a final score

of 3-0!

T1 players, who worked so hard...

Zeus, Oner, Faker, Gumayusi, and Keria

There was a lot of talk before the match about their form, condition,

and ban/pick issues.

G2 had defeated TES 3-0

and advanced to this stage, so

there were concerns that T1 might not be able to win against them, especially with G2's improved form.

I never expected them to win 3-0, but

the players' performance was truly impressive.

Tomorrow at 6 PM, they have a rematch against BLG.

I hope they win and advance to face Gen.G in

the LCK civil war finals.

They even had chairs set up in the lobby for viewing.

The Arena on the weekend is only for members

and first-come, first-served entry,

but the lobby is open to everyone,

If you want to experience the feeling of watching the match with everyone else,

I recommend visiting LoL Park.

It's a great experience!

But it's first-come, first-served entry from 4 PM,

so I recommend arriving early.

(I think it will be even more crowded on the weekend).

I hope T1 wins against BLG tomorrow

and makes it to the finals.

I hope to return with a victory post-match.
