Gen.G vs Fnatic at League of Legends MSI 2024 Bracket Stage

Prediction

Gen.G is one of the favorites to win MSI 2024. The LCK champions boast one of the strongest rosters at the event spearheaded by superstar LoL mid laner Chovy. The rest of the team is no slouch either, with former World Champion jungler Canyon and top laner Kiin being formidable players. Gen.G has demonstrated excellent macro and smart decision-making to easily steamroll opponents.

The primary concern for this roster at League of Legends MSI 2024 will be the inconsistent performance of ADC Peyz. The Korean prodigy did not have the best performance this split, which could be a problem against dominant bot lane duos in teams like Bilibili Gaming, T1, and Top Esports.

Fnatic has been one of the scrappiest teams at the event so far. The second seed from EMEA loves to constantly indulge in skirmishes. While it does make for a fun and chaotic experience for viewers, Fnatic's macro is sloppy. A lot of its success relies on jungler Razork finding a breakthrough early in the game.

ADC Noah has looked notably weak against opponents better than him which leads to a massive gold gap in the bot lane and the eventual downfall of Fnatic. The team will have a lot to work on but its unpredictable and wild nature could pull Gen.G into the circle of chaos and cause issues.

Prediction: Gen.G wins the series 3-0
