The MSI 2022 semi-finals have been officially announced by Riot Games, a scary similarity to the MSI 2019 that G2 Esports was crowned champion.
After 5 days of intense Rumble competition and many unexpected results, MSI 2022 has officially found the 4 best representatives to advance to the semi-finals. As expected, there are still 4 “giants” of the world League of Legends competing against each other, respectively Royal Never Give Up, T1, G2 Esports and Evil Geniuses.
Despite their best efforts, PSG Talon and Saigon Buffalo still had to say goodbye to the tournament. For Vietnamese LoL fans, the journey of the “buffaloes” here has been considered a success. Although only the 2nd Seed in the VCS region, the young SGB players performed excellently to reach the top 6 at MSI 2022, signaling a promising Worlds later this year.
Most recently, the MSI 2022 semi-final schedule has been officially announced. Accordingly, RNG will face EG, the rest T1 will have a decisive battle with the LEC representative, G2 Esports. It can be seen that RNG will have a “lighter” semi-final than T1 when their opponent is not really overwhelming. Meanwhile, G2 Esports was a bit sluggish in the final days of the Rumble round, but the “Black Samurai” lineup always knows how to bring many surprises. So the battle between T1 and G2 will definitely be extremely dramatic.
One thing that many fans noticed, is that the scenario of the MSI 2022 semi-finals is completely similar to the MSI 2019 that G2 Esports was crowned before. At the Rumble MSI 2019 round, the positions of the teams were similar to the current one, but the difference between the wins and losses was slightly different. After that, the semi-finals were both a confrontation between the LPL – LCS and LCK – LEC regions.
In the semi-finals of MSI 2019, the 2 representatives of Europe and North America created a “seismic” when they won and entered the final. This is also the first time in many years that the LCS and LEC have faced each other at an international tournament. Finally as everyone knows, G2 Esports won convincingly 3-0 to become the MSI 2019 champion.
Thus, G2 Esports is facing the opportunity to recreate their previous championship scenario. It is also an opportunity for representatives of the LCK and LPL to return the old feud. At the present time, the strength of the teams is evaluated equally, as in the last Rumble round, fans have seen extremely attractive confrontations.
Therefore, the results of the MSI 2022 Playoffs will be very unpredictable, information about MSI 2022 will be updated, hope everyone will stay tuned for more.
