In the world of League of Legends, for a team to become famous, it not only needs professional skills but also a wealth of engaging content. While teams in the LCK or LPL usually hold live interactions with fans, regions like LEC, LCS, and VCS focus on maximizing social media platforms. Among them, the standout team in content creation is none other than G2 Esports.
Not only famous as one of the strongest teams in the LEC, G2 also attracts attention for their “humorous” moments on social media. Whether they win or lose and regardless of who their opponents are, G2 can always create engaging content around their matches. Their cleverly integrated humorous elements leave fans in awe of G2’s playful nature without being inappropriate.
Recently, it was discovered that G2 players collectively changed their in-game names for their ranked accounts to Zeus Slayer, Oner Slayer, Faker Slayer, Gumayusi Slayer, and Keria Slayer. For those who don’t know, “slayer” means (to) eliminate (defeat) the mentioned subject. It can be understood that this is G2’s challenge to the T1 members ahead of the MSI 2023.
Unlike many early taunts, G2’s challenge has made LOL fans around the world laugh due to the playful nature that has become a trademark of the powerful LEC representative. Moreover, in the past, G2 has caused distress for T1 when the team was still named SKT T1 at the MSI tournament, marking one of Faker’s most forgettable seasons. G2’s playstyle is very dynamic and can pose difficulties for teams from regions that strictly adhere to the meta like the LCK and LPL.
More importantly, G2’s challenge has heated up the atmosphere ahead of MSI 2023. G2 has secured their spot at MSI 2023, and their current goal is to secure a direct ticket to the group stage of this tournament. T1 must also strive and maintain their current form if they want to overcome G2 or any other opponent on their journey to conquer the championship in London soon.
