Taiwan time today (24th) after the LEC Spring Finals ended, all the teams will be officially announced. The “League of Legends” MSI draw will be held later, with well-known player Rekkles and host Trevor Henry.
Due to the relegation of the “League of Legends” Oceania League and the Turkish League this year, the number of participating teams in MSI has been reduced from 11 to 9. In addition to the restructuring, instead of only inviting the champions of major leagues to participate, each of the four major regions can send two teams Teams, of which the first seed goes directly to the second stage.
Because LCK won the world championship last year, the second-seeded T1 also directly entered the second stage, and the rest of the teams will start from the first stage of the finalists.
second stage
LCK：GEN.G、T1
LPL：JDG（JD Gaming）
LEC：MAD（MAD Lions）
LCS：C9（Cloud9）
Phase 1 (Play-In Round)
LPL：BLG（Bilibili Gaming）

LCS：GG（Golden Guardians）
PCS：PSG（PSG Talon）
VCS：GAM（GAM Esports）
LJL：DFM（DetonatioN FM）
LLA：R7（Movistar R7）
CBLOL：LLL（LOUD）
In the first stage, the eight teams will be divided into two groups for a BO3 double-elimination knockout match. (The third ticket decides to play BO5), and finally eight out of three will advance to the second stage. The draw of the first stage also divided the teams into four levels, namely BLG and G2 in Tier 1, PSG and GG in Tier 2, GAM and DFM in Tier 3, and R7 and LLL in Tier 4. The final results are:
Group A: BLG, R7, GG, GAM
B組：G2、LLL、PSG、DFM
The strongest teams in the finalists are undoubtedly BLG, G2 and GG from the four major regions. Their strength as the second seed should not be underestimated. In addition, the Vietnamese team GAM, which has an amazing performance in the international competition, is also a dark horse. MSI surrounded by strong enemies , PSG actually got a glimmer of hope under the magic of Rekkles.
PSG was finally ranked in Group B, with Brazil representative LLL, Japan representative DFM and European representative G2. The opponent in the first game was DFM. 0 lost.
From PSG’s point of view, Tier 1 definitely doesn’t want to encounter BLG, and G2’s recent state is not good. Tier 3 will not want to encounter GAM in Vietnam, which performed well in international competitions. Tier 4 is similar. However, the performance of the Brazil Division in recent years has been weaker than that of the Latin America Division, which has introduced a large number of Korean aid.
Brazil’s representative LLL continued last year’s amazing performance this season, and won the championship in all three games in the playoffs. However, Brazil’s CBLOL division has performed poorly in international competitions in recent years. It is generally considered to be the weakest division after breaking into the main match.
Japan’s representative DFM founding team has almost dominated LJL so far, and this season is no exception. Although Evi left the team to challenge Europe this year, he also welcomed back Aria, who led DFM to shine in the World Championship last year. His strength is still strong. The spring regular season ranked second, and in the playoffs, they played two consecutive straight sets, showing the king’s momentum and winning the victory.
Although DFM is a Japanese team and did not perform well in the international competition last year, in fact, the lineup has three Korean foreign players (the jungler Steal has been naturalized). The year before last, under the leadership of Aria, they won the first place in the finalist group and advanced. Now after his return, DFM may not be the strongest team, but it is definitely not an easy opponent.
Finally, G2, the traditional power from Europe, benefited from the restructuring of LEC this year. Although they encountered turbulence in the spring and lost to MAD in the playoffs, they won the winter championship and were able to play MSI as the second seed. , They have Caps, Hans Sama and other well-known players in their formation, and they will be PSG’s biggest enemy on the way to promotion.
PSG’s signing luck is really good. The overall strength of Group B is obviously lower than that of Group A, but this does not mean that PSG can advance easily. They still have to show their strength to pass the test. To enter the losing team, you must also win the losing team champion in Group B, and then you have the opportunity to compete with the losing team champion in Group A for the last ticket to advance to the second stage.
The “League of Legends” MSI will be held in London, England, from 5/2 to 5/21 local time. The detailed schedule has not yet been announced.
