Entering what was considered an early final of MSI 2024, both Bilibili Gaming and Gen.G had a real chance of victory. With the current state of the two teams, the one that emerged victorious could be said to have a hand on the championship trophy in Chengdu. Both BLG and Gen.G are viewed as possessing a playstyle that approaches near perfection at this time. Therefore, the outcome of the match was even more uncertain. However, ultimately, with their greater consistency and the opponent’s critical mistakes, Gen.G secured a well-deserved and thrilling victory.
Notably, Chovy had an outstanding day of play. In game 4, it can be said that Chovy single-handedly “carried” the entire roster of Gen.G from the early game through the mid-game. Chovy’s champion Corki was incredibly annoying as he always timed his Package delivery perfectly at crucial moments. Moreover, it was thanks to Chovy’s “poke” before the major skirmishes that BLG became disoriented, setting a solid foundation for Gen.G to devastate the LPL representatives.
Especially in game 4, when the match was balanced, BLG had a failed skirmish but their key players still kept their lives. However, when Chovy and Corki returned to the skirmish area, despite having no vision, he executed a “map hack” to eliminate Knight who was hiding in the bush and completed a Recall. This “map hack” showcased Chovy’s experience, judgement, and exceptional mental state while his team held a significant advantage.

– Just another normal day for Chovy
– Vanguard (Riot’s anti-hack software) needs to do better
– Unbelievable
Chovy and his teammates achieved a thrilling and well-deserved victory. Furthermore, the win against BLG also marked the first time Chovy and Gen.G reached the finals of an international tournament since the team was acquired by KsV Esports and subsequently renamed Gen.G. However, Chovy has one more final ahead, and Gen.G still needs to maintain maximum focus to avoid stumbling at the finish line.
