LoL: MSI 2022 Day Five, Group C Recap

MSI 2022 Day Five is here, and it's time to see a full day of EU v NA (and Aus) clashes.


With Group C only featuring three sides, a full day of Group C action has added spice. Sadly, with G2 and EG all but through already, it was really just a battle of EU v NA. Without a win going into the day, Order were outsiders, and they'd need to win all their games against EG to even have a chance of making it to the Rumble Stage.

MSI – G2  v EG Game 1

MSI 2022 Groups Day 5 EG vs G2 draft

EG drafted comfort pick Jinx for hypercarry Danny, hoping to take their first win from the thus far undefeated G2. First Blood went to G2. Jankos’ Diana getting the kill on EG. Vulcan’s TahmKench in the bottom lane around 4 and a half minutes. Heavy early game fighting took place across all lanes. EG who have been struggling with their bottom lane this tournament managed to maintain a fairly strong bot, with Danny’s Jinx becoming quite powerful by the 15-minute mark. Gold was fairly even until a fight at Dragon around 21 minutes cost EG Impact and Inspired. G2 moved then to Baron, with the 3 remaining players of EG attempting to contest, which ended disastrously resulting in a 4k gold advantage for G2.

G2 kept the pressure on, pushing out lanes and using their strong fighting comp to their advantage.EG baited and won a fight at Baron, managing to lock down Jankos and take Baron at the 32-minute mark, which closed the gold gap between the two teams. It was all for naught, however, as EG. Danny fell to the G2 wombo combo of Diana/Yasuo/Vlad ult resulting in the loss of 4 players. G2 pushed for the win and took the Nexus at 39 minutes for their 17th win in a row prompting the question: Just who has what it takes to bring down this European juggernaut?

MSI – G2 v Order Game 1

G2 vs OR Draft MSI 2022 Group Day 5

First Blood went to G2 at 2 minutes, with Targamas’ Pyke taking down Corporal’s Karma. ORDER attempted a 3-man gank mid at 3:30 but Jankos’ Nidalee turned up to take a double kill for a 2k gold lead to G2 at 4 minutes. G2 set their play up around Nidalee rotations, claiming 14 of 15 Plates with ORDER unable to find an opening against the undefeated Europeans. A three-for-three trade in the bottom lane suggested a glimmer of hope, but it was soon snuffed out, the 12k gold lead on G2 proving too great despite Puma’s cheeky engagements on Ezrael.

ORDER made a last stand at Baron, with Kevy jumping in for the steal, but it was a costly play with the team unable to disengage and losing three despite the strength of Baron buff. At minute 26 G2 rolled through to Ace the Australian team and claim their 18th straight win of the tournament.
