On the 4th day of the MSI 2024 Kick-off round, GAM Esports (GAM) had a spectacular “escape” when coming back to defeat LOUD (LLL). This victory helps Levi and his teammates continue to stay at MSI 2024 and raise hope of creating a “miracle” at this tournament. The next name GAM will have to face is the team that defeated them a few days ago – Fnatic.
Levi and his teammates successfully “escaped” after winning against LLL
It is important to know that in the previous round, LLL had a pretty “bright” performance against Top Esports while GAM lost completely to Fnatic. Therefore, even Riot experts rated LLL higher than the VCS representative before this match took place. Perhaps because LLL created great hope for the audience and then extinguished it when they failed, this team is receiving a lot of pressure from fans. Some people were even so disappointed that they asked Riot to delete the CBLOL region because they were tired of seeing the teams here fail continuously.
Even Riot experts rated LLL higher than the VCS representative before the match. Perhaps LLL gave too much hope, so when they failed, the CBLOL audience became extremely angry.
“Game 1 was just a lie, it was such a shameful match. Mistake after mistake, making extremely bad decisions. Even so, trying to cling to Senna didn't cause any damage. Fans don't deserve to witness this” – An angry audience member from the CBLOL area shared
“What's even sadder is that such bad players are the best players in the CBLOL region. And then the cycle happened again when they won the CBLOL championship again only to lose miserably in international tournaments” – Another fan expressed no small disappointment
“Riot needs to realize that we (the CBLOL region) cannot take it anymore. We tried many times but failed. We are so bad and Riot should close this server” – Another viewer even used “meme” to express his disappointment.
To be fair, LLL had a not too bad match against Levi and his teammates. This team really proved to be superior to the VCS representative in the ability to control the match in game 1 and the first half of game 2. However, impatience caused LLL to fall into GAM's trap and lose the matches. important fight in the second half of the second game. As a result, that defeat created an extremely bad psychological momentum for LLL, causing them to lose to GAM in the decisive third game.
LLL was too impatient to attack the base and fell into GAM's trap, as a result they failed in game 2 as well as this Bo3 match.
Of course, asking Riot to close the CBLOL server mentioned above is just an expression of fans' anger. Basically, CBLOL is still a relatively large server in the Americas region. League of Legends tournaments in this region are still held extremely grandly, attracting many audiences, so Riot will have no reason to close the CBLOL server.
League of Legends tournaments in the CBLOL region are always organized extremely grandly
However, consecutive failures at both MSI and Worlds in the past few seasons will also negatively affect this region. They have continuously finished in the last positions at MSI and Worlds in the 2022, 2023 and most recently MSI 2024 seasons. If this repeats at the upcoming Worlds, it is likely that the CBLOL region will have to compete with LLA to win. have tickets to international tournaments from the 2025 season instead of having their own tickets as currently.
The CBLOL region in recent years has often ranked in the bottom group at MSI or Worlds
However, in reality, the CBLOL award has only gained popularity in recent years. And this area still needs more time to develop a professional environment. Therefore, the audience should probably have some sympathy for the teams, especially when CBLOL is currently not comparable to VCS or PCS, or even LJL… in terms of history.
