Gen.G Esports are two best-of-five series wins away from winning its first international silverware.

In the second series of the day, Gen.G Esports managed to put a stop to Top Esports attempted reverse-sweep comeback during the Mid-Season Invitational upper bracket semifinals. That loss was Top's first in the tournament and the third best-of-five series in the Bracket Stage to go to Silver Scrapes.

But in the end, it would be Gen.G who pulled through to set themselves up in the upper bracket finals. This also means that Gen.G are now just two more series wins away from lifting its first-ever international title. As for TES, they now drop to the lower bracket where they will face the winner from tomorrow's series between G2 Esports and PSG Talon.

Gen.G won the first two games of the series rather convincingly with Kim “Peyz” Su-hwan being one of the outstanding performers. His first game against TES will go down as one of the best AD carry performances at MSI as his Kalista racked up 11 kills and five assists with zero deaths. Of course, he couldn't have done all that by himself as Jeong “Chovy” Ji-hoon's Corki was one of the highest damage dealers in the first game.

While Peyz' performance in the second match couldn't come close to the first, it was still enough to put Gen.G in the driver's seat. His Aphelios was able to seal six kills and assists with only two deaths in what was a shut-out performance from Gen.G. And if you thought the first game was bad from TES, the second looked a lot worse as they struggled to find kills anywhere on the map as they ended it with only five.

But it all changed in the third game when TES came out swinging with the likes of Jian “Creme” Lin at the helm. His Tristana in the third match looked to be the turning point for TES as he secured 10 kills to go with five assists and zero deaths. Even Yu “JackeyLove” Wen-Bo got in on the action as his Varus looked lethal as he ended the game with six kills, one death, and eight assists.

With defeat still looming over their heads, game four was a do-or-die for TES to send it to Silver Scrapes and that they did as they obliterated Gen.G, leaving them with only five kills at the end. Creme was having another stellar showing in the middle lane as this time, it was his Corki that managed to force a game five with his eight kills and assists alongside a sole death.

And in the final game of the series between Gen.G and TES, it was none other than Kim “Canyon” Geon-bu who proved to be the deciding factor. His jungle Nidalee became too much for TES to handle as the game wore on, despite Gen.G being on the back foot for most of the match. Canyon managed to get eight kills and six assists to go with two deaths, the highest of anyone from Gen.G.
