With consecutive convincing victories at MSI 2023, Bilibili Gaming (BLG) and G2 Esports (G2) have officially made it to the Knockout Stage. This was a predicted result as both BLG and G2 were highly regarded in their groups. In fact, G2 advanced to face T1 and Faker without losing a single match.
In the next round of MSI 2023, G2 is likely to face very strong teams like JD Gaming (JDG), Gen.G, or T1. According to G2’s Support player Mikyx, the team is eager to face T1 to assert their strength. This is also an opportunity for Mikyx to continue his unbeaten streak against Faker.
“T1 is definitely a team we really want to beat as they are highly regarded. Moreover, facing Faker or Keria is always an incredibly exciting experience. I have never lost to Faker in international tournaments, so this time G2 will win against T1 if both teams face each other. I apologize to the fans, and I hope everyone won’t be sad if I keep beating Faker,” Mikyx confidently shared ahead of the Knockout Stage.
Fairly speaking, Mikyx has reason to be confident as G2 is performing well in the Play-In Stage. Moreover, his preferred champions like Rakan and Nautilus are being picked frequently at this time. Therefore, Mikyx is one of the standout players from G2 Esports.
As for T1, their goal coming to MSI 2023, as stated in recent interviews, is always the championship. Therefore, they also need to consider the possibility of facing G2 in the upcoming Knockout Stage. If these two teams do meet at MSI 2023, it will surely be an extremely exciting and intense match.
