MSI Rumble Stage Day 2 is here, and after day one, we’re in for another cracking day of LoL action.
Day one saw unbeaten runs come to an end. And with G2 playing the first and last games of the day, could they maintain that 22-0 record? Would EG build on that 1-1 record, and would we learn who’s struggling already at this early stage.
MSI – G2 v EG
First blood for G2 in the top side, as Impact loses track of Jankos. A 4v4 at Rift Herald goes the way of G2, despite EG claiming the Herald. EG finally got a kill on the top side, as a 2v1 gank top side paid off. A huge pick in the mid-lane as EG shut down caPs after he overextends. Another huge play in the mid-lane for EG, getting two kills onto G2 as the lead flips over to the NA side. A huge fight at the Drake once again goes the way of EG, claiming a 2-for-1 and a Drake. However, in the aftermath, it’s another 2-for-1 for EG as they claim yet another huge fight. After sitting comfortably during the mid-game, one mistake from Vulcan leads to an easy 3 kills and a Baron for G2. G2 claim a Drake, and in the team fight, G2 knock down four members of EG and looked to end. Another win means G2 continued their unbeaten run to 23-0.
