Recently, foreign media dotesports broke the news that the MSI of suspected 2022 was held in South Korea. At the same time, the mid-season tournament was also renamed as the International Mid-Season Invitational Tournament. Obviously, the name change has become more stylish and larger. While breaking the news, the media also explained that one of the possible reasons why the mid-season tournament was held in South Korea was that LCK was the only one of the four major divisions that had not held a mid-season tournament. This reason is also quite reasonable, feng shui rotates, and it is also quite reasonable to rotate and hold.
Although this is just a foreign media revelation, many LPL fans have expressed some of their concerns about the MSI in South Korea, summarizing some of the problems that everyone is worried about, in the final analysis, the referee issue. Maybe everyone was left with a psychological shadow by the 2002 World Cup in a certain competitive event, thinking that the South Korean side may have some unfair rulings on the outcome of the game for the referee.
In fact, everyone should not worry too much, the referees are all staff arranged by the fist, not necessarily all the people in the LCK division. And League of Legends is not like other traditional sports, there are too many results that need to be judged by the referee, the most difficult thing is nothing more than time backtracking, which has little to do with the referee. Moreover, MSI has been successfully held for so many sessions, and no one has ever exposed that there has been a referee who has made an unfair judgment, and MSI as an international event, fairness is still enough.
If the MSI is held in South Korea, in fact, it is not a bad thing for our LPL division, the first MSI championship of RNG was won in France in a foreign country, the second MSI championship of RNG was won in Iceland, and the MSI championship of EDG in 2015 was also won in the foreign country of the United States. Moreover, SKT's MSI champion is also won away from home, and so is G2's MSI champion, so if the probability theory is followed, the probability of the home team winning the MSI is relatively low.
Therefore, winning the championship on the MSI away is our tradition, and there is nothing to be afraid of. If MSI is really held in South Korea this year, we should laugh and be happy, because we are away from home and have the aura of winning the championship away. That's all for this League of Legends article, thanks for watching it.
