Welcome to EGamersWorld.
The Play-In Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) 2024 matches continue. It's only a matter of time before we find out the names of all the participants in the main stage of the first international tournament in 2024.
Today we're talking about the lower grid match of Group B. LOUD will play against GAM Esports in a match for life at the Mid-Season Invitational 2024.
We try to understand how this match will end and who will end up on the stage of MSI 2024.
Let's go.
Form LOUD
Let's open the analysis of the match with the analysis of LOUD's form. In this match they play the first number one and the odds for a Brazilian victory are at around 1.2.
LOUD is twice the best team in Brazil. The first time the team took their first title was in 2021, won by CBLOL Split 2 2021, the analogue of the summer split in LJL.
The second time the championship was earned already this year, at CBLOL Split Season 2. In addition, LOUD, have been celebrated internationally.
The team played at Worlds 2022, where, incidentally, Ledgeila DFM. The appearance at MSI 2023 is the club's debut in this series of tournaments.
- LOUD lineup: Robo, Croc, TinOwns, Route, RedBert.
So far, LOUD's debut is hard to call successful. In their first match at the Mid-Season Invitational 2023, the team faced G2 Esports, one of the main favourites to advance to the group stage.
The match ended 2-0 in favour of the Samurai, but LOUD tried. At least on the first map before the transition to the mid-late game LOUD had a chance to clinch a point, but G2 outclassed their opponents.
After the loss to G2 Loud fell to the bottom of the grid where they faced DetonatioN FocusMe. Being the underdogs at the time, LOUD pulled out a clean win, but in the next round Ledge and PSG Talon, finishing in the top 11 of the tournament.
The team made it to Worlds 2023 as the champions of CBLOL Split 2 2023. There LOUD easily took the top 1, in the grand finals closing PaiN Gaming.
LOUD made their debut at Worlds 2023 in a match against GAM Esports. An even match on paper between LOUD and GAM ended with a clean win for the former.
Prior to this match, LOUD faced off against PSG Talon. The first Play-In team proved why they are honoured and betting tiri a bright future within this Worlds. LOUD lost with a score of 0-2. In the end LOUD played Decider with GAM and failed to beat them for the second time.
But they managed to take the local championship at CBLOL Split 1 2024, where they defeated paiN Gaming in an epic final.
LOUD started the Mid-Season Invitational 2024 with a performance against Top Esports. The Brazilian club had no chance in that match and it ended 0-2.

GAM Esports uniforms
We continue our match breakdown with an analysis of GAM Esports' match form. In this match, they will play as an outsider with win odds around 3.3.
GAM Esports is one of the most titled teams in Vietnam with 5 wins in regional splits and several top 2 home league titles. At the last event, VCS Dawn 2023, GAM Esports had a very strong run in the play-offs, winning the group 14-0 in the series. GAM played well in the play-offs itself, giving up a total of 4 maps in 3 series.
Vietnam (VCS) - My region with an asterisk. Teams from there are capable of putting up a fight against the world's top League of Legends clubs, as demonstrated by GAM Esports during Worlds 2017, 2019, and even at Worlds 2022.
The peak of performance on the international stage remains 2017. That's when GAM Esports finished in the top 6 at the 2017 Mid-Season Invitational.
To repeat the success of 2017, it is mandatory to beat Rainbow7 in the upcoming confrontation. Everything seems to be in place for that to happen.
- GAM Esports lineup: Kiaya, Levi, Emo, EasyLove, Elio.
GAM has top performers by VCS standards, which is confirmed by the club's performance at home. However, they didn't help GAM to beat a more titled opponent, namely Golden Guardians, with whom GAM played in the first round of Play-In MSI 2023 and lost without much chance.
All in all, MSI 2023 ended very badly for GAM Esports. After losing in the first round, the Vietnamese unexpectedly defeated Rainbow7 in the first round of the lower grid, and therefore ignominiously left the championship at the Top 12.
The team made it to Worlds 2023 thanks to a win at the home VCS Dusk 2023. In the grand finals they easily beat Team Whales with a score of 3-1.
In the debut match at Worlds 2023 Gam Esports played against LOUD. The Brazilians proved to be stronger, although GAM put up a fight. The match ended with a score of 0-2 not in favour of GAM.
In the previous round GAM defeated Rainbow7. They defeated them on class (2-0), without giving space on any of the maps.
In the previous match, GAM Esports played against the titular Brazilians LOUD. Being the underdogs they showed class and closed the series with a 2-0 score, sending one of the favourites of the Play-In stage home.
In the match to advance to the Worlds 2023 group stage, GAM Esports played against their regional counterparts from Team Whales. They closed the series 3-1 on the experience, thus becoming the first team at Worlds 2023 to make it past the Play-In stage.
Having met all the challenges of the Play-In, GAM Esports travelled to the group stage. The first opponent of GAM Esports was Gen.G, and then Fnatic. In general, there are no questions about the first game, but Fnatic could fight, but it didn't work out.
Being one step away from elimination GAM Esports showed a very spirited game in the match against Liquid. The North American team managed to take one card, but no more than that. However, GAM did not last long: in the next match the club faced the titular representative of Korea, the team Dplus and, losing with a score of 0-2, left Worlds 2023.
In the 14th season of LoL, GAM triumphed at VCS Spring 2024, which allowed them to advance to the Mid-Season Invitational 2024. There, GAM played against Fnatic in the first round of Group B, but lost 0-2.
The most popular champions of GAM Esports
Aatrox (3 matches, 100% wins) and Renekton (3 matches, 66% wins) are most often sent to the top line.
Sejuani (3 matches, 100% winrate) and Lee Sin (3 matches, 66% wins) are the most frequently played among the foresters.
Ahri/Jayce (7 games, 85% win rate) is the centre line.

Predicted result of GAM Esports vs LOUD at Mid-Season Invitational 2024
Despite LOUD's clear advantage in this match, I wouldn't be in a hurry to give them a quick win. In my opinion, GAM is capable of clawing their way back to within one map, which they will do. And the series will end on three maps.
Bottom line: total +2.5.
