After weeks of playing with the top matches, MSI 2024 recently ended with Gen.G. Not only showing better than the BlG opponent on the skill side, Gen.G also proved extremely calm at the decisive moments to make sure the victory. Typically at the 4th game decided when Gen.G continuously stopped the “backdoor” intentions from the opponent.
Gen.G excelled in winning the MSI 2024 title after defeating BlG
One of the notable points in the final finals is the extremely special options from Gen.G. Typically, Canyon used Karthus for jungle or Lehends with Blitzcrank has shown extremely high efficiency. Even at the after -match interview, Gen.G's coach Kim also revealed that Canyon had prepared a “unbelievable” choice if the final finally reached game 5.
Canyon has practiced a lot of “weird songs” to prepare for the final of MSI 2024
When asked about what Gen.G prepared if the final match pulled to game 5, coach Kim answered: “We observed that other teams used a lot of” weird songs “, so the whole team also practiced special options to overcome. The choices such as Maokai, Nidalee, Blitzcrank or Karthus … are the results from practice. Canyon even practiced SHACO to the forest and also surprised me..

Interesting the preparation process for the finals of MSI 2024
It should be known that Shaco is a general that has almost disappeared from Meta professional tournaments in recent years. Even in the single rating environment, this general only has a selection rate of 5.25% (statistics from OP.GG). Therefore, SHACO will have a huge unexpected advantage (if chosen) and make the opponent have many troubles in finding ways to overcome.
Shaco jungle in the single ranking environment has a relatively low selection rate (5.25%) although the win rate is not low (52.86%)
Not stopping there, Canyon once surprised many people when using Nidalee in game 5 decided before TES. It was even for the first time Nidalee was used at MSI 2024 and Canyon had a perfect performance “Team” performance with this general. If the last final match actually reached game 5, Canyon did the same thing when choosing SHACO is entirely possible.
Canyon the first person to choose Nidalee at MSI 2024 at game 5 decided before TES
To be fair, Gen.G's MSI 2024 championship is absolutely worthy when all players are in good form. Moreover, the diverse generals of the Gen.G players also help them take a small advantage in the ban/choice stage. Unfortunately, the audience no longer had the opportunity to see Canyon using SHACO at MSI 2024. Maybe in the future, Canyon will really choose this character and make the audience surprised about its strength.
