BLG and T1

Team Liquid and Fnatic
Fnatic had a promising run in the Play-In stage of the LoL Mid-Season Invitational 2024, but then they lost two games in the Brackets stage and left the tournament. The team that actually eliminated them was Liquid. Fnatic lost 1:3.
That did not last long for Team Liquid too. The American team fell victim to T1 in the very next game, 1:3.
