Before the 2022 Mid-Season Invitational began, not many people believed that G2 Esports would be a strong candidate for the championship. But after the first day of the rumble stage, droves of fans have shown up at the station looking to board the hype tin after the team have taken down both T1 and Royal Never Give Up.
After their strong comeback victory against the LCK champions, G2 came into their second matchup with a ton of confidence. By banning out Bin’s undefeated Gangplank, the kings of Europe felt comfortable enough to give RNG two priority picks like Ahri and Gwen since they had an even better, more explosive team composition with Kai’Sa, Nautilus, Wukong, Vladimir, and Zoe.
