At MSI 2024 up to the present, besides the vital matches in the starting round, or the launch of the champion candidates, perhaps the most anticipated match is G2 Esports – T1. The audience could not hide the excitement, when the leaves visit from Xiye brought Faker to confront again with Caps. Two mid lines of the two teams are rare players that since officially reaching the peak, they have never changed the shirt color. They are also the most debt confrontation in the world in the world today.
Faker and Caps will face again at MSI 2024
In terms of Faker, in his long -lasting career, he confronted many opponents from many teams and many regions of the world. There are also those of these that were once considered “the cruel of the Demon King”, as Pawn is a typical example. Or as Xiaohu is always in the squad of the teams that defeated Faker's SKT T1/T1 in the MSI periods. However, if you have to say the “sowing” for Faker is equally much and the present time is still playing at the top, it is Caps – mid lane and is currently the leader of G2.
Caps can be considered as “hard counter” of Faker when confronted in the international arena
Considering in the past, if calling Caps as “hard counter” of Faker is probably not exaggerated. According to statistics before the confrontation at MSI 2024, Faker and Caps have clashed 6 times in international tournaments, from 2019 to the present. And surprisingly, the “demon king” of League of Legends village only won 2 victories against the juniors across the battle line. Worth mentioning, almost all 6 times are the BO3 or Bo5 matches. Only in the chaos of MSI 2022 are two teams of 2 matches Bo1 and the score is 1 win – 1 loss for each side.
In the 6 confrontations to MSI 2024, Caps won 4 times
G2 is always famous for mutations and unpredictable in each of their matches right from the ban. But for Caps, this will be the first time he has to confront Faker without a senior – close teammate – “monster” Jankos goes to the forest. Along with Caps, Jankos is the longest G2 player. But since the superstar was born in 1995, leaving the team, G2 seems to have not found anyone perfectly replaced for him to coordinate with Caps when he came to the international arena.
But now the caps confronted Faker, but besides, no longer “hard” Jankos
For its part, Faker from the defeat of G2 twice in two international tournaments in 2019 also experienced many ups and downs but has found the peak with the recent World Championship Cup 2023. Oner international also shows a very different face and when he entered the highest form, perhaps G2 will be difficult to create seismic before T1.
Meanwhile Faker and T1 are being highly appreciated in the international arena
However, as the player of the home team, the performance of Faker and Caps will be able to determine the results of the match against T1 – G2. And no matter what the result, it can be said that this will be almost certain that this will be the most attractive match in the group stage of MSI 2024.
