the mid diff is just too big between asia and the west..
always has been its just caps was so good that he actually stood a chance,
sadly not the case anymore
Not even sure what happened to caps. He playin so bad this tournament. Agreed he used to be good but what happened???
how sad specifically that this comment comes after a Caps vs Yagao match
All Western teams can't play Aphelios and this has been a big problem for them in this tournament.
Hans Sama just getting caught left and right is hilarious. He looked so lost during engagements just doesn't know where to position himself given that G2 had an engaging comp all throughout the best of 5. 😂😂😂
This is the real Hans Sama. Surprised G2 picked him up after how hot garbage he was on TL. If G2 still play draven for Hans Sama they gave up any hope of going 2-4 at groups.
Nah y’all trippin Hans was a shining star in the win, when they peeled for him they won sometimes he just more than a janna
To be fair, it's pretty hard to position yourself as an adc in an engage comp because you know that everyone's going to go in but barely anyone would actually protect you. I think he played it as well as he could, definitely got a bunch of free hits and tried to distance himself from the burst engage champs in blg side
its insane to see how Yikes is in every aspect of the game way better than the rest of G2. And Caps is sadly a shadow of himself and if G2 stay cosequent like they did the last year - its time to go for him. He holds the Team back, we could see this in MSI so good. His stats are miserable and hes positioning is horrible. Cost the whole team to carry him.
I follow g2 since 2017 and i watch as many games possible LEC, MSI or Worlds. Huge respect to him but over the last years he went from CAPS to CaPs to caps. Thas his own statement. Iam not talking about one tournament iam talkin about his development over the last past years.
Obviously it sucks to be eliminated as a G2 (and EU) fan, but tbh G2 looked the best out of all western teams. That game 3 was heartbreaking. G2 need to take the experience here and improve, and come back to worlds stronger than before.
"G2 need to take the experience here and improve, and come back to worlds stronger than before."
They should be stacked with experience by how many times they've been eliminated these past years and yet they still don't learn lmao .

G2 reached the final only in 2019 and lost 0/3 against FPX...
In 2020 the squad lost in the semi final against DWG
Yike and BB were good this tournament. Yike looked better than GenG's and BLG's jungler even though he is rookie. BB was on level and competed with his eastern counterparts too, even though he did make some crucial mistakes sometimes. These 2 players I'm content with. Caps was a major disappointment. No where near the level he has shown he can play. It would even be fair to say G2 could've gotten a surprise win over GenG if not for the gargantuan mid gap. Hans Sama plays good 1 game and then bad 3 games. He gets caught really easily and forces too much sometimes. A big let down from what was expected of him. Mikyx, I can't really bring myself to talk bad about him. Pressed the int button a bit much this tournament, but as support sometimes you can't play just for trying to pick up the slack of your team. I think he would've performed a lot better if Caps and Hans were better too. G2 as a team is the best Western team I think, even if they finished last LEC split 4th. They can play with eastern teams competitively, but they have a huge glaring weakness. They always lose in big fights, especially in front of the baron and dragon. Seen it against GenG, seen it against BLG. They are ahead in gold and everything, and if the team fight goes their way it's insta win, but it dosn't happen.
Biggest cap. you don't get destroyed in all the early games by GenG/BLG and walk away with "Yike looked better" lmao. LEC fans and overrating garbage talent.

I am still proud of G2, at least some of their games were competitive. And Yike has showed everyone how crazy good he is. Too bad Caps lost his magic tho
It could be caps lost it because of his new jungler. Nothing against yike but maybe him and cap don't go as well together like caps and Jankos did. Their mid-jung synergy just might not be there. Individual talent there enough to compete in the West but maybe this MSI showing a little flaw

it's nice to hear Quickshoot casting games, it makes more exciting matches. thanks quickshoot
It’s the spacing, the map control and macro decision taken by them, the insane tf and how they manage to keep the gold lead at arms length all the time even from behind. And this is just the second seed… omg like it’s so obvious that they play this game so differently… Yet even they loss G2 wormed my heart with that performance, especially yike. Yes Bb threw that game 2 tf at the end with the miss-click on stop watch but daamn they did fight back what so ever. Don t let yourself down G2 and come back stronger for the next show off at worlds !
No this was just the worst ive ever seen g2 play fights. Their macro and comps was all superior. But caps yas and Sandra was not what it used to be.. i remember him smurfing on yas first game of some series vs some lpl team cant remember what game it was tho. And yikes inted the gank on ksante top if he just qd right after he w flashd him. And the last fight if he just killed wukong instead of changing focus to ahri. G2 just played so bad. I hope blg get shit on now their drafts are so bad and they dont adapt at all. Just looked it up check out fnc vs rng 2018 msi day 1. Thats old caps
They’re really losing is in spacing and timing. IMO. For example, Caps K’Sante ultimates were so early. Seems like they always one to burst down the enemy in one shot.
Do you really think BLG are a good team? They make a lot of mistakes everygame, random deaths in sidelanes or getting picked before objectives... T1 GENG and JDG are on a different planet... BLG was a fine team to face, g2 could win this series with a better performance
Caps were horrific
G2 without Perkz and Jankos is not the same.

Yike was by far the best player from the west.
As a long term G2 fan I am proud of you boys. You tried your best and you brought us really interesting games. I hope G2 won't replace Caps or anyone. Yes, this year Caps ain't in best condition, but still he is young and he is really talented. Plus one bad season shouldn't mean kick out of G2. I believe that he will find his form back. This team has potentional. This was their 1st big tournament together, they just need to work more, so they will be playing better as a team. T1 has same roster past few years and it works, cause the players know each other. 2019 G2 was succes, cause the chemistry between the players was insanely high and I believe, that this roster can reach that spot also. Some people were saying "BB out, he is trash" few months ago and now same people cherish him. I believed in him since he came in G2 and I won't stop. Same with Caps, same with Miky, same with Yike and Hans. With Yike I was little bit sceptical, because he was supposed to be substitute for the best jungler EU ever produced, but after few first games I knew, he will be great. Also Jankos said it.
Caps looks like there is something going on in his head/life, so just give him space and chance to get his form back. Players are humans in the end and they have their own lifes and problems. They are not machines. Even the best ones have bad seasons (Rekkles, Canyon even Faker).
Also this is first season without Jankos's leadership, which is also important. Don't get me wrong, BB is doing such a great work as a current leader, but still Jankos was important piece of G2 and it needs time to get used to the fact, that he is not around anymore to make calls.
So keep your heads up boys, we will come back stronger!
EDIT: Also we didn't get stomped. Tbh most of the games were even and we played well compared to other western teams, but we kinda lost our breath during the games and LPL/LCK teams took advatages of that. We just need to practise little bit more, so we can catch those eastern teams. Congratz to BLG and other eastern teams. I hope the best team will win MSI.
Western regions will be shit forever, that includes LEC, they will never catch up neither LPL nor LCK.
there was possiblity to win game 3 but what tf bb do with stopwatch?
I was so happy and 100% certain game 3 is a win, damn. That's even bigger throw than aphelios did game 2
So, which airports are EU and NA speedrunning here? EU to Gatwick, and NA to Heathrow?
I cant believe we tossed game 3
BLG were just way more coordinated in teamfights, hans would die to a coordinated attack and the fight is lost immediately.
Mikyx in games 2 and 3 was something.
Sad for G2 but overall deserved given the mid and adc gap, great tournament from Yike, BB and Mikyx tho
BLG looked very consistent and effective
Gen G played horrible at least G2 got wins vs LPL unlike best seed in overrated LCK. and before u apes go apeshit. each year is a different league. so don't bring noob t1 from different year. present is today. hope LCK loses worlds.
Why g2 stopped to pick draven?
Caps ur time is came bro
And this is why i tell to people that dont just say "Easy clap" on the other team, cause it will just give you disappointment when your team got clapped instead. Just hope your team do their best cause the only thing that matters is the result of the fight.

feels like caps has a confidence issue, he isnt dominating as we are kind of used of him. i think he needs to find that confidence back, will make G2 a very scary team again
Really need to give him another aggresive champ (and no, one ult yasuo doesn't count) like sylas or leblanc. He really doesn't fit the support mid role very well.
The big difference I've observed here is how well LPL LCK AD carries play. They're aggressive enough when needed, but play super cautiously while enemy CC is off cooldown. That situational awareness to step back at critical moments and realise that yes they aren't doing persistent damage earlier in the fight, but they outlive the enemy ADC then just pump damage and snowball at the end. This is also assisted by their supports, who use their cooldowns effectively. Great example of why G2 doesn't do this well is game 3 where hans was frequently going in for damage at every chance, which would be fine if his allies used their cooldowns for peel and protect. mikyx just using braum e early in the fight, literally the 1 tool that is needed to protect hans just gets blown, then the rest of the fight ends predictably, the CD isn't back up until hans is 1 hit from death.
This is the biggest gap here, and you can see Ruler and Elk's masterful positioning and knowledge of defence and dodge while enemy CC is up. Until other regions can learn this, they will always be inferior to LCK and LPL. Doesn't matter how well your other lanes play, you lose your ADC before your enemy, you blow all your CDs unsuccessfully trying to kill their ADC, gg it's over red rover.
MSI 2023 isn't ready for Hans Sama's APHELIOS xD

38:31 fierce side eye
not saying han sama is bad. but I think the LPL ADCs perform on a much more consistent (good) level than the western adcs. so in bo1 game they may get lucky and win, but in a bo3 or bo5 series, lpl will always come on top.
the lights are always too bright for Hans Sama
My predict the final is lck clash agains ,gen g vs t1

It's crazy how hype the casters get from a regular play... just cuz its an EU team... like chill... it was a point blank stun
I dont know if we watched different series but that was really impressive from G2. They were expected to lose this series and honestly put up an amazing fight against the second seed of LPL. This is the 2nd best team from LPL this spring and G2 were able to contest them. I expected them to get stomped but they didnt. By far the best Western team atm. Only worrying sight about all of this is that Caps looks like a huge liability

This is so sad. LEC teams keep falling further and further behind. They need remember that they'll never beat LPL and LCK teams if they try to copy them. Also LPL and LCK teams practice one thing 1000 times. LEC teams don't practice like that, this is why they should never copy them. The only way to win against them is to fully embrace the creative style. Both G2 and M5/Gambit were really good when they didn't copy but tried their own unique styles. This is why LEC needs new coaches who are not afraid to go against the global meta 🤔🤔🤔
The creative style doesn't work anymore...
Europe develops some kind of cheese strat, and LCK and LPL learn to utilize it within a MAXIMUM of 2 weeks. Back in the day, LCK and LPL were way slower when it came to catching up with the western creativity, but now the east is extremely fast at adapting. We don't possess the surprise factor with teams such as G2 and Fnatic. Those times are waaaaayyy passed us.
Western fans still think they are copying LCK/LPL teams lol. You guys are too deluded to see they tried their own style and got destroyed. LEC/LCS style doesn't work against good teams. LEC style led to people thinking G2 bot lane was elite.
West < East

@@nicolaeadrian7882 lol nvm , google it, i am at work , dont feel like explaining
I completely disagree with the majority of the comments. G2 are in my opinion not the best Western team at all. The only two games they took against the Eastern teams were when both GenG and BLG inted like crazy. Neither of their 6 loses felt close. They flip barons like crazy, depend on 50-50 situations and big mistakes by the enemy and never win early game. Pretty much their moto is: 'We play safe and solid, and if they throw... they throw...'You ain't winning nothing like that. Even in the MAD series the 3-0 feels deceptive. I got the feeling MAD throw most of the games and G2 yet again were winning more on mistakes of the enemy then them being proactive. I'm predicting them not being even in top3 EU next split and missing Worlds...
G2 definitely had the best performance out of any western team, as they always do on the international stage. They simply have experience in these settings + their coin flip style/all in style makes it so it's just high risk/high reward. Unfortunately, even though G2 has performed the best out of any western team, does not make it that they are able to compete with the East... It's not 2018-2019 anymore, and the gap between G2 and other west teams is miniscule while the gap between G2 and east teams is an entire ocean.
@@Whales1992 G2 had the best results of any western team at MSI this year, but GG honestly had way more competitive games against eastern teams than G2 did.
