GAM Esports overturned to defeat LLL
Facing a strong late game squad, GAM was forced to dominate in the early game. However, GAM was unable to create enough pressure in any area. Even with personal mistakes, they let their opponents dominate and take away big goals one after another. A few bright fights in the last minutes were not enough for the VCS representative to create a turning point in the match when the gap between the two teams was too large.
Entering game 2, GAM significantly improved in the drafting and banning stages and operations in the early stages of the game by successfully putting resources on Urgot, but Levi and his teammates still could not overwhelm the opponent. Even their confusion was exploited by the opponent with Dragon Soul and a superior minion lane.
At the most important moment, Levi, with his trademark Wukong card, continuously shined with unexpected and accurate opening fights. Combined with accurate control and damage, GAM won fights consecutively, thereby successfully making a comeback.
After winning game 3, GAM was more confident, choosing a mobile but quite risky squad when choosing Akali and Lee Sin for Emo and Levi. However, this duo played excellently, constantly stirring up LLL's squad.
Despite leading a large amount of money, GAM still had difficulty facing Renekton's ability to dominate Robo. However, with a squad rich in mobility, GAM still knows how to find a good fighting angle. At minute 32, the VCS champion caught Croc in a situation where LLL tried to approach Baron and won the decisive fight, thereby obtaining the Dragon Soul and the Baron buff. At this point, Levi and his juniors quickly ended the match.
Coming back from behind to defeat LOUD, GAM Esports entered the round 2 match of the decisive losing bracket of the warm-up round. The VCS champion will rematch Fnatic, the LEC's No. 2 seed. Although the gap between the two regions is still too large, fans still hope that GAM will perform better and leave good impressions at MSI 2024, even if they cannot continue.
