At the third day of the MSI 2024 branch, Bilibili Gaming (BLG) struggled to surpass PSG Talon (PSG) with a score of 3-2. The representative of PCS really surprised the audience about the strength and ability to adapt quickly to the road change tactic. Meanwhile, BLG made many fans of LPL area not disappointed with unnecessary “game toss”.

Theoretically, with a “controversial” match and pulling up to 5 games as above, the number of MSI 2024 followers will become extremely high. However, the press at LPL recently revealed the sad truth that Riot's prestigious award was less attractive than the “veteran trophy”. Specifically, according to Sohu's announcement, only 25.3% of the survey participants are watching MSI 2024 directly. In the opposite direction, up to 67.7% of fans choose to see the friendly tournament as “legendary trophy” with “unemployed” names like Uzi, Theshy …
According to a survey of Sohu page, only 25.3% of the respondents are watching MSI 2024, while up to 67.7% of the respondents choose to see the “legendary trophy”.
The main reason for this big difference is that the entertainment of the current MSI does not meet the expectations of the audience. Since this tournament started, the results of the matches are often quite easy to guess. Typically, TES and Gen.G defeated Teamliquid, Fnatic with a score of 3-0 in the game too one way. Obviously, compared to entertainment with a happy tournament like “legendary cup”, the recent matches of MSI 2024 proved much more inferior.

So how to make MSI 2024 regain interest from the audience? Answering this problem, the LPL press said that T1 was the “savior” of the tournament. First, T1 has a great popularity in LPL, so they will pull the number of viewers very large for MSI.

“We predict T1 will win the upcoming Bo5 match but G2 still has the opportunity to win 1-2 games because they are the last hope of the West. Moreover, the match between T1 and G2 will attract great attention from the viewers and help MSI become more attractive. For many people, this match is like a T1 meeting a LPL or LCK team,” the SOUHU will attract the audience
Moreover, T1 and G2 have a lot of “predestined debts” with past the past so this match promises to be extremely attractive. In addition, the fact that LCK and LPL representatives start to “collide” with each other in the next round will reduce the one -way, easy -to -guess match. This will push the appeal of MSI 2024 and help the tournament receive great attention from the audience.

Hopefully the T1 players will maintain their performance in the starting and further rounds possible at MSI 2024 this time. In addition to increasing the achievement of T1 itself, this also helps MSI 2024 attract a lot of viewers and not fall into a “lost” situation compared to other tournaments.
