G2 has great confidence thanks to the last match with T1
In the 2024 season, G2 can be considered as the absolute champion of the LEC area when they won all three titles in the winter, spring and summer period. Not stopping there, G2 also has a relatively successful MSI 2024 when he got the fourth position and only stopped before a T1 too brave. It is clear that with such an overwhelming performance, G2 is considered a huge hope of the LEC area in particular and the Western League of Legends in general.
G2 proved to be extremely overwhelming in the LEC area when the championship in all 3 stages of winter, spring, summer
One of the strengths of G2 is the great confidence before the major tournaments and the upcoming Worlds 2024 is no exception. Accordingly, in an interview with the Korean press, the G2 Mikyx player confirmed that they could defeat representatives from LCK or LPL in the upcoming tournament. Even failure before T1 at MSI 2024 is the main reason leading to this huge confidence of the G2 side.
G2 proved to be very confident when walking to Worlds 2024 this time
“I am quite confident in the achievements of G2 in Worlds this year, especially after a positive MSI. In MSI, we have shown that we can defeat any team when playing with the best performance. Even when losing before T1 with the score of 0-3, we still lead them at the beginning of the match with the ability to go better. Last time and can defeat the opponent more easily thanks to the first advantage.
In addition, our ability to ban/choose is much better. The team carefully watched the LPL and LCK finals and believed that we would beat these strong representatives. At least we are not as weak as people imagine or certainly fail to the Eastern teams. Perhaps the ability to organize the match of G2 is not as good as them (LCK, LPL teams) but we do not lose in the map control side ” – Mikyx shared.

We have improved this in recent years and can defeat the opponent more easily thanks to the first advantage. In addition, our ability to ban/choose is much better.

G2 needs to be alert to avoid the “traces of the car”
Indeed, the sharing from Mikyx is completely reasonable when G2 has played very well at MSI 2024. They have beaten TES with a score of 3-0 and created many difficulties for T1 at the beginning of the match. In addition, G2 is also a team with very good training results in big tournaments, so it is confident that they may face “bosses” from LCK and LPL are quite understandable.
However, the G2 side should remember that they do not have “predestined” to the Swiss format being applied at Worlds. In the tournament last year, G2 was the team that caused great disappointment when there were 2-0 results but then lost 3 matches before Gen.G, NRG and BLG and were eliminated bitterly. If this result continues to repeat the results in Worlds 2024, the above confident statements of the G2 side are like the topic for the “troll” community to this team.
G2 once caused great disappointment in Worlds 2023 when there was a coefficient of 2-0 but failed 3 consecutive matches and was eliminated
In short, with overwhelming LEC area in the past year, G2 is still a formidable name at this year's Worlds. However, to be able to confirm the strength, this team needs to have the opportunity to be able to overcome the upcoming Swiss round soon. If not, the prospect of being bitterly eliminated like Worlds 2023 will repeat and make all the efforts of G2 dissolve into smoke.
