Since our article explaining why G2 will do the little evil genius job, it’s time to differentiate the debate and explain under what circumstances North Americans can bring Europeans back to the fountain. Even though the LCS champion team is not the most experienced team on the international scene, beating them will be much more difficult than it seems at first glance.
A constantly evolving team
At the start of the competitive season, very few people pitched EG as an LCS favorite. The team grew stronger through the rift and grew stronger with every step. Of course, this applies to all teams, but EG has still made much more progress than any other formation. The team is very likely to develop new strategies and tactics especially for MSI and G2 may be surprised with their progress. As these will be the first games of the competition, the Europeans will not have time to adapt and the North Americans will not be able to give a satisfactory answer. Today, EG isn’t the favorite of the bunch, but it would be a mistake to bury the team early given the progress they’ve made over spring break.
Inspired by genius
Yesterday we praised Jankos and announced that he would be one of G2’s greatest assets. Coincidentally, this could be even more than Inspired Evil Geniuses. Explain that with experience and vision of the game, the advantage belongs to Yankos. ETCHowever, EG jungle often plays a supporting role on champions like Nocturne or Viego. This strategy is ultimately very unusual in Europe and it is therefore impossible to surprise the teams. throw it The advantage of transporting a forest is that it can feed anywhere on the map and therefore potentially take advantage of all situations to snowball. While most teams prefer to bet on line moves to provide enough resources for self-powering (e.g. on a farm, when driving through the woods to the opposite jungle, or when mobs cannot not find them and accumulate delays), it is always possible to force them with different strategies. .
Play the bot, earn a lot
If two teams send inexperienced battalions to the international stage, the demonic genius always has the advantage on this line. Typically, G2 strategies are all about taking advantage of the midfield before helping the duo set up more passive champions in the past. You don’t need to be overpowered by your opponent Botlan just for this tactic to work. And in this little game, the North Americans seem a little better than the Europeans. Either way, they mostly experienced it in the playoffs. It will therefore not be impossible for EG to switch to a very aggressive bottle to delay its G2 game plan.
Are you surprised to see me?
If we said yesterday that one of EG’s weaknesses is their tendency to systematically ban Ahri, it should be noted that the team forced Jojopyun to ban Leblanc’s midfielders, who are usually banned against EG in the playoffs at 94 %. It’s a safe bet that the Europeans will leave it open at least in the first game to gain a huge psychological advantage in the event of victory because despite Jojopiun’s talent, the limit seems high at the moment. Only if the G2 midfielder struggles to start the game can he completely miss his game. Probably a card to play for EG on this side.
The Top Lane Effect
Although EGs may seem at a disadvantage when it comes to their international experience, they still have a significant advantage on that side with Impact. The former world champion is still going strong and despite years in the LCS, we regularly see him supporting the next generation from other regions. A Korean who can play the role of carrier or front line should be the leader of his team. It is he who will know how to calm them in the face of the immense pressure of such an event. Although Brockenblade is very talented, it’s hard to put him on par with Impact.
