MSI China and South Korea grouping is open, LPL Four Emperors Battle Faker, BLG will be in the same group as GEN if the breakthrough is successful

Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the World Game Exchange.

With the conclusion of the second stage of each region, the teams participating in the MSI Mid-Season Championship have all been decided, and this year's MSI will continue the previous format, divided into two stages, play-in and double-elimination stages, to determine the final champion.

After all the teams have been decided, the grouping of MSI has not yet been carried out, but the grouping of China and South Korea has been determined in advance.

MSI China and South Korea are grouped to be determined, and there is competition area avoidance

A total of 10 teams participated in this MSI Mid-Season Championship, of which two teams from the three major regions of LPL, LCK and LEC participated, and LCK as the first region, the two quota teams participating in MSI will enter the knockout stage in advance, which means that the second-ranked T1 does not need to play the play-in round.

However, the second-seeded teams of LPL and LEC need to start from the play-in round, and the two major teams of BLG and G2 need to compete with the two major teams of GAM and FURIA (Brazil) for two breakthrough places.

The four teams in the Breakout Tournament will be determined by a double-defeat BO5 to determine the two teams that will advance.

GEN, T1, AL, CFO, FLY and KOI will then wait for the teams in the play-in round in the knockout stage, and the eight teams will play a double-elimination format in the quarterfinals to determine the final champion.

According to the MSI format, when there are two teams in a region, they will not be divided into the same half of the region in the knockout stage, and there is also the principle of region avoidance, and teams from the same region will not appear in the same half of the region, so that the audience can see more regional confrontations.

The Four Emperors vs. Faker, BLG has a high probability of fighting GEN

Then in the grouping of the three major regions of China and South Korea, it is certain that T1 will be in the same half as AL, that is to say, the LPL's newly enthroned Four Emperors midlaner Shanks is ready to challenge Faker in the knockout round, but the two teams will definitely not meet in the first round, because the top ten teams will be divided into different seed pools for draws.

If you want to meet, you have to wait until the second round, and the fastest battle between China and South Korea will be in the second round.

On the other hand, if BLG can break through, it will be in the same half as GEN, and the ranking of the No. 1 seed KOI in Europe may be slightly higher in this half, and it is uncertain whether there will be an early showdown between China and South Korea, and then we will have to wait for the official announcement of Riot.

On the G2 side, the opponent in the first round may be T1 or BLG, and no matter which group you are into, it will be the most interesting matchup in the first round of the MSI knockout round.

Maybe many viewers who watched MSI last year are not very familiar with the competition system, so it is necessary to reintroduce this year's competition system with you, this year's MSI is all BO5, and the rules of the global BP have been added, which is even better than last year, and the chaos between the divisions will be very exciting.

LPL is eager for revenge, and the snow pioneer is ashamed before the game

This year's LPL audience tolerance for the team can be said to be higher and higher, TES has played a humiliating performance of breaking through the lower limit level in the pioneer competition, this year's MSI mid-season, the biggest goal of the teams participating in the LPL region is to be ashamed, not to mention whether they can beat the South Korean team, first can beat the CFO of Europe and the United States and even wild cards.

Defeating the European and American divisions means that the LPL can at least regain the position of the second division, if they can eliminate one of the South Korean teams, even if they don't lose, if they can win the championship, they will definitely have to raise their eyebrows.

Judging from the past history, MSI's champion has nothing to do well in the world championship, but even so, LPL still has to fight for this championship, and I personally think that the LPL region has not been able to win the championship for a long time, MSI is a good opportunity, at least to complete the breakthrough of zero international championships in recent years, and what the S competition is like will be talked about later.

It is expected that the first favorite to win the championship in this event is still GEN, and the second favorite to win the championship is more likely to be T1, AL will participate in the international competition for the first time, and may not be very optimistic, and may even be at the same level as BLG or even inferior to BLG.

In terms of the performance of the LPL region, the AL team definitely has the potential to achieve results, and I hope they can work hard to make a splash on the world stage.
