On April 20, the Spring LPL champion 2024 officially called Bilibili Gaming (BLG) after defeating the Top Epsorts (TES) with a convincing 3-1 score. This victory gives the BLG the first LPL title and gives them a great advantage at MSI 2024. Specifically, they will have a capacity in phase 2 instead of having to play from the boot round (TES must attend this stage).
BLG recently won the first LPL title in its history
And just a few hours after the BlG champion, the draw results of the MSI 2024 boot round were also determined. Accordingly, the representative of VCS – gram of eSports (grams) will confront Fnatic (FNC) in his opening match. The same table with GAM also has TES and the champion of the CBLOL – Loud area (LLL).

Immediately after the above -mentioned table of division was published, the LPL press proved to be extremely worried about the results of TES at MSI 2024. One of the first reasons mentioned was that TES could see GAM again in this tournament. Remember Jackkeylove and his teammates who had a “salt -face” loss before GAM at Worlds 2022 and made them eliminated from the group stage. This sad history has the opportunity to repeat if TES clashes GAM at MSI 2024.

Not stopping there, what makes the LPL most worried is TES's extremely unstable performance. Right in the LPL Spring Final 2024, this team had many unnecessary errors. The sad point here is that the brightest star of TES – Jackkeylove is the one who makes a mistake and makes the home team fall into a difficult position.
Right in the last LPL final, Jackkeylove had a careless situation and made the home team lose to fight later.
Sohu posted the article with the Tittle line: “The drawing ceremony of MSI has ended, TES and GAM really have a lot of debt.”
“This spring tournament is really great for BLG but LPL faces unhappy news. In the final, TES's performance is really disappointing.
“If Gam can meet Tes, this will be a match that attracts a lot of attention. Over the thousands of miles to meet, it is not a simple thing. People often joke that TES one hand to raise the VCS area (referring to the salt loss in Worlds 2022). It is funny when they can meet at MSI” – another mocked gamer commented on the results of the draw results
To be fair, in order to have the opportunity to confront TES, GAM must surpass an experienced Fnatic from the LEC area. This is originally a huge challenge for VCS representatives. At Worlds 2023, grams with the strongest force could not win FNC. Now with a serious chipping squad, no one dares to believe that GAM will make the seismic before the two big men of LPL and LEC.
GAM will need the best effort to raise hope to overcome the MSI 2024 boot
On the side of TES, they need to quickly overcome weaknesses called erratic forms in the preparation period for MSI 2024. It is possible that competitors in the boot round may not be strong or classy to make it difficult for TES. However, when facing stronger teams in phase 2, this weakness will most likely make TES pay expensive.
