MSI 2022 has passed for a while now, but its echoes are still very vivid. Not only because of the championship won by Royal Never Give Up but also the behind-the-scenes stories and side memories shared by the players upon returning from Busan. Recently, Jankos also took to the air to tell a tragic story that he and the G2 Esports team encountered at MSI 2022. And Jankos’s story is also related to… T1.
Specifically, according to Jankos’s revelation on air, G2 only brought a sufficient number of uniforms to participate in MSI 2022. And according to the scenario, after the uniform exchange, G2 would take their shirts back. However, apart from G2, no one else knew that the team did not bring enough uniforms. And so, as Jankos mentioned, they had to speak directly to the T1 players about asking for their jerseys back. At the same time, G2 also took the jerseys from T1 that they had swapped. “We sent them the jerseys right when we got home.” – Jankos shared at the end of the story.
It can be said that this will be a memory not only for the G2 players but perhaps for Faker and the T1 teammates who also encountered such a strange situation for the first time. But this is definitely a fun memory for the players of both teams in a special MSI like MSI 2022 that just passed.
At MSI 2022, G2 – T1 was also one of the matchups with many ties and faced each other multiple times. Among these, Jankos and his teammates only managed to defeat T1 once in the Rumble stage. The rest were overwhelming losses. Notably, G2 suffered three clean sweeps quite easily when facing T1 in the semifinals.
But anyway, it can be said that Spring 2022 and MSI 2022 were successful for G2. Because at the beginning of the season, they were not highly regarded. But surely, if they can return at the upcoming World Championship 2022, G2 will still be a force that all other teams must truly be wary of.
