Yesterday was the last day when Mid-Season Invitational had matches but no elimination. However, the stakes in the upper bracket final were very high, as the winner of this match guaranteed themselves the grand final and a couple of days off.

The matchup between the number one seeds of LCK and LPL was the most probable option since Bracket Stage draw happened. Both Gen.G Esports and Bilibili Gaming had some rough moments, but overall they were far stronger than other teams. And in this regional rivalry the representative from South Korea managed to overcome their Chinese opponents - 3:1.

Bilibili Gaming drops to the lower bracket and will wait for the winner of T1 - G2 Esports. Both teams are not easy opponents, as G2 Esports already swept Top Esports out of the Mid-Season Invitational, and you never underestimate T1 because of Faker. T1 and G2 Esports will face each other today, the lower bracket final will occur on Saturday, and on Sunday, we will know the name of the Champion and the first team to qualify for the Worlds 2024.
