The ultimate MSI champion
As we know, up to now, Gen.G is still the team with the longest unbeaten streak in League of Legends history, as they broke the old record set by T1 in Spring 2022 a long time ago. Gen.G is also the most perfect MSI champion when they completely destroyed the tournament and convincingly defeated their “nemesis” Bilibili Gaming.
However, there were some problems after that when the Gen.G representative spoke up saying that the team did not receive a proper welcome for the champion. The complaints from Gen.G even caused T1 and Faker to be “collaterally affected” because after the MSI stage, Riot announced Faker's Hall of Legends skin.
MSI champion has the most problems from Riot?
Recently, Riot continued to post and mention the two most recent champions of the MSI tournament, JD Gaming (2023) and Gen.G of 2024. However, right below Riot's post, the Gen.G representative frankly said: “Where are our medals?”.
The reason is that JDG got a medal after winning MSI while Gen.G did not. This is also the first year that Riot did not award a medal in addition to the trophy to the champion of the tournament.
The question from the Gen.G representative immediately attracted the attention and controversy of the League of Legends community. Most of the comments expressed agreement with Gen.G's question. In fact, Riot only announced some changes in the format of MSI 2024, without mentioning that medals were not awarded. And many viewers also admitted: If Riot had not posted this photo and Gen.G had not questioned it, they themselves would not have realized that this year's MSI champion would not have received a medal.
Currently, Riot has not yet responded to the questions of Gen.G representatives as well as many audiences. However, if Riot has “forgotten”, this will be a serious shortcoming of this publisher. If this is the policy for MSI from this year onwards, Riot will have to have a reasonable explanation, especially when Gen.G even has a more magnificent MSI 2024 achievement than many previous champions.
