GAM Esports came confidently to the 2023 League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational as the indisputable VCS champions. But once again, their explosive performance in their home region last Spring Split did not tnslate to the international stage.
Despite a crushing defeat in the first round of the competition at the hands of NA second seed Golden Guardians, GAM walked on the MSI stage to face Latin America’s Movistar R7 as the favorites to claim victory—but ultimately, they would fall well short. After three games the series went in favor of R7, but the way GAM were eliminated was more disappointing than the loss itself.
