The League of Legends Spring Season schedule is now more than halfway through, and the comprehensive performance of the teams in each major competition area is also in the eyes of the audience. Every few days, foreign media LeagueOnLock will update the battle ranks of the LOL team, and the current T1 team's victory has reached 10 wins and 0 losses.
The teams at the top of the latest edition of the list may eventually become the champions of the spring tournaments in their respective divisions. In addition to the honours and points, they will also be given the opportunity to represent the division in MSI. The 2022 MSI mid-season is already in preparation.
According to foreign media NOTAGAMER, the 2022 MSI Mid-Season Tournament has been confirmed to be held in South Korea. This is also the first time that the LCK division has held a world-class tournament for League of Legends after the S8 League of Legends World Finals. At this stage, the more specific venues and times have not been announced, but the competition is expected to start from the last week of April to the first week of May.
The LCK division has always been the top division in the League of Legends esports arena. However, when it comes to hosting international events, South Korea rarely becomes the first choice. The 2022 MSI Mid-Season is the first time south Korea has hosted such a tournament. Although this is a new breakthrough for the LCK division, there are still hidden dangers in the holding of this event.
Since the start of the LCK Spring Regular Season, players from multiple teams in the division have been confirmed to be infected with COVID-19. DRX, NS, GEN, HLE, all have players who have to rotate due to illness. At this time, the new MSI that chose to hold a new session in South Korea is much more stressful in terms of epidemic prevention and control than before.
And South Korea's epidemic prevention and control regulations are also relatively strict, and whether more than a dozen participating teams can successfully enter the country must also be marked with a question mark. Last year's S11 League of Legends World Finals was originally scheduled to take place in Shenzhen, but given the visa difficulty of the foreign teams arriving, hosting the tournament will cause a large gathering of people. In the end, the venue was changed to Iceland, thousands of miles away.
From any point of view, this MSI Mid-Season is a serious challenge for the LCK team. They are not only facing the pressure of the LPL's four-year triple crown, if you count the past world-class competitions, LCK has not had many achievements since the S8 season, only the S9 Intercontinental Championship and the S10 World Championship.
In the early years, the dominant performance of the LCK team has become a passing cloud. Even the current T1 team, which is still undefeated, needs to prove itself through world-class competitions. Looking forward to this MSI mid-season competition, the teams in each division can have a good performance to bring you a wonderful showdown.
