Compared with the League of Legends World Series, MSI is actually a relatively new event, at least not an additional tournament set up at the beginning of the World Series, but added later. To be able to win the spring championship and then go to MSI to compete with the elite teams of various divisions is actually a rare opportunity for any strong team. But if you win the MSI championship, will you be able to win the world championship in Pingchuan? There is no necessary connection between the two, only the former SKT has won the MSI championship and the world championship in the same year in history, and few teammates have been able to achieve this achievement. Why is it that winning the MSI championship in the spring race is actually not a good job?
Version issues
Referring to the MSI where RNG Iceland won the championship, after winning the RNG mid-season, Fist overhauled the version of the summer tournament. The heroes who were popular on MSI have been weakened, so it is difficult for the RNG to adapt to the new version after the return, and it has suffered consecutive defeats.
Time-consuming and labor-intensive, affecting player training during isolation
MSI is fine to hold in China, but this is an international invitational tournament, coupled with the recurrence of the epidemic in the past two years, so that the MSI held abroad has cast a lot of shadows. Referring to the MSI of RNG Iceland, there is a long quarantine period after returning, during which it is difficult to conduct formal training matches, and the decline in status is also expected.
MSI's Champion Curse
18-year MSI champion RNG, follow-up world championship lost to G2 (this game does not know how many fans in China have shed tears).
G2, the 19-year msi champion, was sent away directly by FPX.
20 years without MSI but with MSC, champion TES lost to SN in the world.
21-year MSI champion RNG, the world's quarterfinals met the old rival EDG, was sent away by EDG.
The previous four examples have shown that it is too difficult to think of MSI and World Series.
MSI points are not guaranteed to advance to the World Series
Take the LPL division, for example, only the summer champion is directly submitted to the world championship, and the spring champion only has high points and does not report to the world championship. This also gave birth to last year's classic scene, the RNG that won the MSI championship, there is still a theoretical possibility of not being able to qualify for the world championship.
In summary, because MSI and the World Championship itself are not much related, on the contrary, it is very difficult to take MSI and World Champion at the same time, and there are other similar isolation, versions, training matches and other factors, so maybe it is not a good thing to participate in MSI. In fact, MSI's format has been slightly changed, which may be more attractive. For example, taking the MSI championship can ensure a world championship place, even if it is a guaranteed bubble competition, I don't know if this change can make MSI more attractive.
