GAM had a good performance in the match against MDK to hold on to hope at Worlds 2024.


GAM made a spectacular comeback thanks to an almost perfect "cosplay".


Against strong opponent MAD Lions KOI from LEC, GAM Esports is clearly underestimated. However, the VCS representative has no way back and in previous tournaments, GAM would normally turn on "on the same track" mode and compete with 200% strength. This confrontation is no exception. Even when MDK took the lead after the first game, the GAM players did not flinch. They took advantage of each opponent's mistake and completed the comeback. With this victory, GAM not only "sends" MDK home but also holds on to hope at Worlds 2024.

GAM made a spectacular comeback against MDK and kept hope at Worlds 2024


In particular, in the deciding game, GAM had a perfect "cosplay" of the top candidate for the 2024 World Championship - Gen.G. Specifically, in the decisive match against MDK, GAM used 4/5 champions that Gen.G used in the BO3 match with Hanwha Life Esports. Specifically, in the deciding match against HLE, Gen.G also used the combo Aurora - Nocturne - Ahri - Kalista. But in that match, the LCK runner-up used Leona as the Support champion while GAM used Braum.

The two teams' picks and bans are almost identical, with each support champion being different


GAM still has many issues that need to be resolved


In the upcoming round 1-2, GAM will meet very strong opponents, including 2 representatives of LPL, PSG Talon and most likely Team Liquid. In game 1 of the match against MDK, GAM showed many shortcomings, from the inappropriate ban and selection process and leaving many strong champions exposed to being too hasty when the opponent was ahead. MDK could be a weak opponent and let GAM come back. But if faced with LPL representatives, it will be difficult for GAM to repeat this achievement.

GAM still made many mistakes in this match, especially in game 1


But anyway, if we can still fight at Worlds 2024, the opportunity for GAM still exists. And at this point, perhaps who the opponent is is no longer so important, but the VCS audience just hopes GAM can try its best.
