On the afternoon of February 19 (Vietnam time), Riot officially announced the venue for MSI 2022. Accordingly, the first international tournament in 2022 of the LoL village will be held in Korea. This is the first international tournament of the LoL village to be held in Korea since Worlds 2018 and although it is one of the two countries with the world’s top League of Legends, this is the first time MSI has been held in the country. Faker’s scent.
MSI 2022 was announced to be held in Korea
At the present time, quite a few countries around the world have chosen to “live with the Covid-19 pandemic”, however, in some countries and in this case, South Korea, regulations on prevention Covid-19 is still extremely strict and strict. In particular, according to information published in January 2022, among the 10 countries that have accepted Vietnam’s “Covid-19 vaccine passport” there is still no Korean name.
As such, the organization in Korea may make it difficult for VCS teams to participate in MSI 2022. Even when many major tournaments of the LoL village such as LCK Spring 2022 or LPL Spring 2022 have all allowed live competition, teams in Vietnam are still competing online. Not to mention, Vietnamese teams will certainly want the highest safety. Because, when returning from MSI 2022, teams will have to start preparing for Summer 2022 taking place shortly after.
VCS teams are unlikely to be able to attend MSI 2022
In addition, the VCS teams also have to actively prepare for the 31st SEA Games, which will take place almost at the same time as MSI 2022. Not to mention, the Korean side or Riot have not announced anything about the specific location and time of the competition. In addition, according to statistics, Korea has recorded an additional 360,000 cases of Covid-19 in the past week alone (from February 13 to now). Therefore, the organization of MSI in this country is still uncertain, and the opportunity to attend the first major tournament in 2022 of the LoL village after a long absence of VCS teams is still in vain. equally obscure.
