G2 Esports has been locked in for the Knockout Stage. 

The last day of MSI 2022’s Rumble Stage rolls onward with Royal Never Give Up and T1 picking up more wins. That means G2 Esports have now locked for the Knockout Stage, while PSG Talon have been eliminated. Here’s a recap of what went down. 

Saigon Buffalo went up against T1 first. Saigon Buffalo has put on an outstanding performance in the last two days of this tournament - most of which has sadly gone down after the team’s elimination. T1 is already locked in to advance to the Knockout Stage, but these factors didn’t seem to get in the way much. By the midgame, T1 had secured a lead with two more kills and 5k more gold, allowing them to clean up SGB in teamfights to come. 

T1 had 16 kills and 41k gold by the 20-minute mark, proving that all their work in the early game taking down objectives and asserting map control paid off. Most of the match after that was spent with both teams treading water until T1’s inevitable siege. T1 won this one. 

PSG Talon versus Royal Never Give Up was the next match. PSG really needed a win here to stay in contention, but RNG was just doing better in this game. PSG repeatedly lost teamfights, giving four kills to RNG in the early game. RNG went on to lock down three dragons in a row, taking down objectives left and right. RNG continued to pick up kills until it got a massive 10k gold lead, allowing the team to practically decimate PSG in fights. It took a minute, but RNG eventually got the win. PSG has sadly been eliminated from the Knockout Stage with this loss. 

SGB’s final match of the tournament is over now, and no matter their performance, one can’t deny that the team went out on a high note! With PSG’s loss, G2 has been locked in for the Knockout Stage.
