G2 vs TES Was One of the Most Anticipated Matches of MSI 2026
Before the series began, fans around the world were excited for the clash between G2 Esports and Top Esports. TES represented the strength of the LPL. Meanwhile, G2 carried the hopes of the LEC.
Most analysts favored TES. After all, the Chinese team had shown consistent form throughout the season. In addition, TES had strong teamwork, solid macro play, and plenty of international experience.
However, G2 entered the match with confidence. The European squad has built a reputation for producing unexpected results on the biggest stages.
Even so, very few people expected what would happen next.
TES Dominated the Opening Two Games
Top Esports started the series in dominant fashion. They controlled the map well and pressured G2 from the beginning.
In Game 1, TES quickly built a gold lead. They punished G2’s mistakes and secured important objectives. Although G2 tried to slow the game down, TES remained in control and earned a convincing victory.
Game 2 followed a similar pattern. Once again, TES controlled the pace of the match. They managed vision effectively and denied G2 any chance to recover. As a result, TES moved ahead 2-0 in the series.
At that point, many fans believed the series was over.
Furthermore, history was against G2. No team had ever completed a reverse sweep at MSI before.
Caps Changed the Entire Series
However, G2 refused to give up.
The turning point came in Game 3. G2 adjusted their draft strategy and changed their approach to team fights. Because of these changes, they finally found a way to challenge TES.
Most importantly, Caps delivered one of the best performances of his career. The G2 mid laner played brilliantly throughout the game. Then, he produced an incredible pentakill that changed everything.
That single moment transformed the entire series.
The crowd erupted in celebration. Meanwhile, fans around the world immediately called it one of the greatest plays in MSI history.
G2 Slowly Took Control of the Series
After winning Game 3, G2 looked like a completely different team. They played with more confidence and made better decisions.
In Game 4, G2 continued to improve. Their team fighting became stronger. In addition, their map control and coordination were much cleaner. At the same time, TES started making unusual mistakes.
As a result, G2 tied the series at 2-2.
At that moment, the pressure shifted entirely to Top Esports.
Suddenly, fans realized they were witnessing a historic comeback.
G2 Complete One of the Greatest Comebacks in League of Legends History
Game 5 featured enormous pressure for both teams. However, G2 entered the match with momentum and confidence.
Meanwhile, TES no longer looked as sharp as they had in the first two games.
G2 executed their strategy perfectly. They controlled major objectives and maintained pressure across the map. Furthermore, their star players delivered when it mattered most.
Slowly but surely, G2 gained complete control.
Eventually, after five thrilling games, G2 defeated Top Esports 3-2.
As a result, the European team became the first organization in MSI history to complete a successful reverse sweep.
G2 Create a Historic Moment for Europe
This victory means much more than simply advancing to the next round.
For many years, European teams have been viewed as weaker than teams from the LCK and LPL. However, G2 once again proved that they belong among the world’s best teams.
Their adaptability, mental strength, and fighting spirit helped them achieve something no other team had ever done at MSI.
Moreover, this comeback reminded fans why G2 remains one of the most popular organizations in League of Legends history.
The Next Challenge: Hanwha Life Esports
Despite making history, G2’s journey at MSI 2026 is not over.
Their next opponent will be Hanwha Life Esports (HLE), the number one seed from the LCK and one of the favorites to win the tournament.
Unlike TES, HLE is known for discipline and consistency. In addition, they have several world-class players on their roster. Therefore, this matchup may be even more difficult for G2.
Nevertheless, after witnessing this incredible comeback, fans have every reason to believe that G2 can create another surprise.
No matter what happens next, G2’s victory over Top Esports will always be remembered as one of the greatest comebacks in MSI history. It also stands as a perfect example of G2’s never-give-up mentality.
