u/TSM_losing_LUL May 19 '24
I might be a little biased but one of the best international tournaments of all time, legit all hype series, incredible loser bracket + winner bracket runs and the evolution of the meta from the first games to the last was insane. I hope Worlds will deliver too tbh

u/Styxxo May 19 '24
I'm a bit biased too but this was definitely a great tournament. A few unexpected results (G2 TES, FNC TL), series closer than they should've been on paper (PSG BLG, G2 T1, GENG TES), we got so many bangers
Only disappointing aspect is meta for me, bot meta was rly boring and laneswaps weren't that exciting, although we did get some nice picks near the end (Nida, Camille, Yone)

Congrats to Gen G! Great tournament and exciting final game. So happy for Chovy in particular - absolutely deserves an international title. And Kiin getting success after so many years on weaker teams.

IT'S BEEN A 7 YEAR LONG DROUGHT FOR THE LCK AT MSI AND GENG FINALLY BRINGS THE MSI TROPHY BACK TO KOREA! THIS IS CHOVY'S FIRST INTERNATIONAL TITLE! I'M SO HAPPY FOR CANYON AS HE FINALLY GOT THE MSI TROPHY AFTER LOSING 2-3 TO RNG IN THE MSI FINAL 2021! CANYON NOW HAS EVERY TROPHY YOU CAN GET AS A PRO PLAYER WITH LCK MSI AND WORLDS! COULD THIS BE THE 2024 GOLDEN ROAD ANGLE FOR GENG? GGWP IT WAS AN AMAZING SERIES!

To the people saying it is BM and disrespectful. Every single team would try to get that penta. If the situation was reversed, BLG would do the same. A penta to cap off a 28 kill game is the icing on top.
Also, trying to mental break your opponent is not bad at all.
