League of Legends S12 season, the Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) will kick off in Busan, South Korea. 11 spring championship teams around the world will gather in Busan (RNG Online Tournament) to launch a top-notch final battle in order to compete for the strongest mid-season.
The top seed teams in the group stage ABC are Group A T1, Group B RNG, and Group C G2. As for the LCS (North American Division), one of the four major competition areas, it became a civil war with LEC in Group D due to its poor performance.
As usual, before the game starts, most foreign e-sports media will start to "make trouble", and this year's MSI is no exception. They made several detailed data tables to see which teams and players can set new records!
Before the start of the game, foreign media announced the combat power rankings of 11 MSI teams
Before the start of the game, the foreign e-sports media League On Lock announced that the ratings and comprehensive rankings of the MSI participating teams they evaluated themselves, among which: LCK's T1 ranked first, LPL's RNG ranked second, LEC's G2 ranked third, and LCS's EG ranked fourth.
The teams in the other divisions ranked 5 to 11 respectively, because they have always come to accompany the prince to study (including the LCS division). Therefore, in the following article, the King of Embarrassing will put aside these bottom teams and only talk about the three teams T1, RNG and G2.
Friends who are familiar with the League of Legends e-sports circle should be very familiar with the three teams T1 (formerly SKT), RNG and G2. They can be said to be mutually causal, or T1 and G2 teams have many relationships with RNG (defeated). If G2 only defeated RNG in the S8 World Championship, preventing RNG from unlocking the "one team's single-season Grand Slam" achievement.
Then the T1 (SKT) team and Faker have always been a mountain in front of RNG and its players. Looking at the game record between RNG and SKT, RNG has never beaten SKT in the BO5 competition system, but has only won several BO1s. In the World Championships of S6 and S7, RNG both hated the arena after encountering SKT. It is precisely because SKT defeated the LPL team on the World Championship stage many times that year. That year, this LCK's wealthy team won the title of "RNG Nemesis".
RNG won the MSI championship in the S11 season, so now T1 and G2 are also gathered at MSI. Then this may be a chance for RNG to break the nightmare and cross the mountains. The King of Embarrassing Personally believes that if RNG can cross the two mountains, T1 and G2 this time. Then they are qualified to launch an attack on S-Crown. If they don’t cross it, then they will most likely repeat the same mistake in the second half of the year.
MSI players' appearance ranking, Xiaohu and Faker compete for the first place
Foreign e-sports media, in addition to the MSI team's combat power ranking, Express also has a MSI player appearance ranking. Among them, Maple ranked first with 69 appearances; Perkz ranked second with 62 games; Xiaohu ranked third with 60 games; Faker and Khan ranked fourth with 59 games; Hanabi ranked fifth with 52 games!
For the first place in the MSI, in this time, PSG and RNG were in the same group, and Perkz did not come. Therefore, according to the above combat power rankings, after the MSI is finished, the MSI position, which is the first appearance number, will probably be replaced. And there are only Xiaohu and Faker, who are qualified to compete for the first place in the list (default RNG and T1 qualify in the group stage). In other words, in this MSI, who can qualify for RNG and T1, whoever qualifies for early qualifying, Xiaohu and Faker will lose the qualification to compete for the first place.
So the last question is, Dear Canyon Summoners, who do you think Xiaohu or Faker can win first place? Comment section, tell your reasons
