Unconventional Warwick Pick Stuns MSI Tournament
5 Jul
Summary
- G2 Esports top laner used Warwick in a major tournament.
- The surprising pick dismantled a top Korean team.
- This unconventional strategy has been seen before.
Sergen "BrokenBlade" Çelik, G2 Esports' top laner, executed an unexpected strategy on July 5 during the MSI 2026 bracket stage. He selected Warwick, a champion typically confined to lower-tier play, for the top lane against the formidable Hanwha Life Esports.
This unconventional pick led to G2's dismantling of the Korean team. BrokenBlade's mastery of Warwick's kit allowed him to apply constant pressure, effectively neutralizing HLE's bot lane in critical engagements. Social media platforms were quickly flooded with clips of the surprising performance.
This was not BrokenBlade's inaugural use of Warwick in a professional setting. He had previously showcased the champion in LEC matches, including a notable instance against GiantX in February 2025. This history indicates a strategic depth behind his bold choices.
