I believe everyone knows that due to the epidemic this year, the MSI mid-season competition was cancelled. Therefore, after the LPL Spring Festival ended, there was a long gap between the summer season. Riot Company specially held a brand new cup competition, that is, the 2020 Mid-Season Cup, which invited the LPL region's top four teams (JDG, TES, FPX, IG) and the LCK region's top four teams (T1, GenG, DRX, DWG). This standard is similar to the previous intercontinental competitions, except that there is no previous LMS and Vietnam competitions. Although the official definition of this mid-season Cup as a friendly match, the prize money is very rich (up to 670,000 US dollars, equivalent to more than RMB 4 million), and it involves the competition between LPL and LCK. I believe that this mid-season Cup competition will be extremely exciting!
Recently, the League of Legends Event Center announced the grouping situation and schedule of this mid-season Cup. The entire competition will start from May 28th to May 31st. The BO1 competitions will start at 15:00 pm, while the BO5 competitions will start at 13:00. The competition is divided into Group A and Group B, among which the four teams T1, TES, FPX and DWG were assigned to Group A, while JDG, GenG, DRX and IG were assigned to Group B. There will also be some dramatic things happening here, such as FPX's top laner Khan will face his old club, while GenG's jungler Cild will face his former former club JDG in LPL! The following is the complete schedule of BO1:
This mid-season Cup opening match is a wonderful showdown, which will be between two world champions. T1 vs. FPX. I don’t know if FPX will send Khan to the stage in this game, so you can see a very dramatic game! In the second game, TES will face the challenge of DWG. Both teams are very talented and very young. I wonder who can win a victory when they meet! In the first game of the second day of BO1, the new LPL king JDG will face the challenge of GenG. I don’t know what moves Cild will take when facing his old teammates, and I look forward to it! IG will play against DRX led by Deft. You should know that Deft's BO1 in the Intercontinental Tournament has never lost!
The next two days will be the semi-finals and finals. Each game of BO5 will use the blind selection mode, which means that BO5 may see a lot of easter eggs in the first game, because I don’t know what heroes the opponent will choose, and I will likely select many identical heroes. In this way, the feeling of a friendly match in the Mid-Season Cup will come! Finally, let us look forward to the arrival of the mid-season Cup, LPL!
