MSI 2022 underdogs ORDER had a whiff of blood at MSI 2022 against G2 Esports, and they're now more confident than ever says Corporal.
Oceanic underdogs ORDER had an uphill battle to turn heads in the Western group of life at MSI 2022. However, after a tight loss to G2 Esports got some talking, Corporal is more confident than ever the LCO representatives can upset the major regions.
While the baron call “in hindsight [was] not a good decision,” ORDER had the confidence in the play to commit to it — and that’s a hard mental hurdle for OCE players to jump when they come into a group many have written them off in.
That negative energy is what is spurring ORDER on; the thought of proving the doubters wrong.
“I’m feeling really good. From this game, I just realize that it’s so winnable. It’s so winnable. These games, we win these games. After playing for five minutes, I just knew it was going to be so much easier than I thought. It’s a lot of sh*t to talk when we just lost but we brought it to them.”
There’s been a lot of comparisons between the ORDER roster and Pentanet.GG’s run at MSI 2021 that put Oceanic League of Legends on the map. They got given a chance in a three-team group, and they’re going to use that “glorified best-of-five” to their advantage.
However, Corporal wants fans to know there’s a key difference between Pentanet’s achievement and ORDER’s goal.
“Maybe at the start I was thinking [there was pressure after Pentanet’s run], but I don’t want to dampen what they’ve done. They played Unicorns of Love in a glorified best of five. We’re going up against two major regions. We have our own independent path from PGG and it’s not comparable.”
With all that being said, there’s now a new hope in the ORDER camp that they can make that miracle run. A miracle run which didn’t just start from MSI 2022 groups, but from their lower bracket playoffs match against Dire Wolves four best-of-fives ago.
It’s their own path to blaze, and the Oceanic representatives aren’t afraid to talk themselves up after one tight loss.
“G2 is better out of those two teams, so I guess Evil Geniuses is going to go down. We’re going to smack them.”
