Gen.G outplayed DAMWON to advance to the semi-finals of Worlds 2022

Knockout Stage at Worlds 2022 in New York continues. Gen.G Esports and DAMWON Gaming played in the third quarterfinal of the main tournament of the year.

The South Korean derby was the first match of the main stage of Worlds 22, which ended with a full fifth map. The victory was celebrated by the reigning LCK champions from Gen.G Esports.

Gen.G took the first two cards using Miss Fortune and Yummi. The first lasted 25 minutes, but the second - 42, which is an enchanting indicator for the League of Legends of this level.

Leading the series 2-0, Gen.G probably didn't expect such a strong-willed comeback from DAMWON given the second map. Last year's vice-champions, with the help of Viego and Aphelios, took the map at number three and the fourth game of the series.

On the deciding map, Gen.G picked Gnar, Sejuani, Viktor, Lucian and Nami. The classic bot combo helped Gen.G get to the Worlds 2022 semi-finals, where the team will play against the winner of the DRX-EDward Gaming pair.

DAMWON failed to repeat the result of last year's Worlds, and left the event at the TOP-8 stage. The titular South Korean club takes the top 8, joining Rogue and Royal Never Give Up.

The 2022 World Championship runs from September 29 to November 5 in Mexico and the United States. The Play-In stage will take place from September 29 to October 4 at the Arena Esports Stadium in Mexico City, and the group stage will take place from October 7-10 and October 13-16 at the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden. The quarter-finals will be played at the same Hulu Theter from October 21-24, the semi-finals will be hosted by the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, and the final will take place at the Chase Center on November 5 in San Francisco. As part of the championship, 24 teams from all over the world are fighting for a total prize pool of $2,225,000.
