GamerLegion competitor Timur "FL4MUS" Maryev recently shared his thoughts on the anticipated day 4 matchups of the Shanghai Major 2024, revealing that their team is set to challenge NAVI in a crucial elimination match. Maryev, referring to NAVI as "s1mple's ex" in a post on Telegram, sparked significant discussion among fans.
The comments section erupted with a mix of excitement and tension following Maryev's statement, prompting him to post additional messages to appease the fervent fans and clarify that his remarks were not intended to offend anyone.
GamerLegion has showcased an impressive underdog journey throughout the Major, commencing from their noteworthy performances in the RMR event where they eliminated formidable opponents like Falcons and s1mple. Despite facing challenges and narrowly surviving each encounter, the team has displayed unwavering resilience. The Elimination Stage commenced with two defeats but was followed by a crucial victory against Wildcard.
On the flip side, NAVI's momentum took a hit after a stellar season marked by multiple title wins. Suffering defeats against MIBR and Spirit, they found themselves in the 1-2 bracket. Despite being the reigning champions and holding the top spot in the HLTV rankings, NAVI faces a tough test against GamerLegion. The highly anticipated match is scheduled for tomorrow, December 7th, at 7:00 CET.
