preface
This MSI's competition is very interesting, because of the addition of the play-in and double-elimination format, so the intensity and gold content of this MSI's competition are also directly full, even the wild card division matchup that LPL audiences were unwilling to watch has also attracted the attention of many LPL viewers because of the rules of the play-in tournament.
However, something happened in this MSI qualifying tournament that disappointed many LPL viewers, that is, the PSG team, known as the third seed in the LPL, finally fell in the final round of the MSI qualifying tournament, and after the qualifying round, many viewers also began to discuss that the gap between the strength gap between the wild card division and the four major divisions is too large.
MSI's first Chinese team was eliminated
In this MSI competition, the PSG team also received a large number of LPL viewers' attention, because the wilderness player of this team used to be the EDG team's wilderness player Junjia, who won the honor of the world championship with the team, plus the PSG team's five positions are all Chinese, so many viewers also ridiculed the PSG team as the third seed in the LPL league. (JDG has two Korean aids, BLG and PSG are all Chinese classes)
But what disappointed the audience was that when Team PSG faced Team GG, the final opponent of the qualifying match, Team PSG was beaten by Team GG without any backhand ability, and was directly eliminated by a three-to-zero hanging, and the most speechless thing about this match was that the gap between the strength of the two sides was too big.
In each game, the down of the GG team can stabilize the PSG team down AD player wako, of course, the PSG team was eliminated is also a little bad luck, because before the MSI start, the main AD player of the PSG team ubao suddenly fell ill and could not participate, so the PSG team can only let the substitute player play instead of ubao, and he is an Ephaelius unique brother, without Ephaelius, his strength is not in the flow.
The gap between the divisions became the focus of attention, and the top 8 were divided equally by the four major divisions
After the end of the MSI qualifying round, MSI's main tournament quota has also become the focus of discussion among the audience, because the 8 places in the MSI main tournament have just been divided equally by the four major divisional teams, which also makes many viewers feel speechless, because in recent years, as long as it is a world tournament, to the main stage of the knockout stage, then the wild card division will be destroyed, and in the end it will be a civil war in the four major divisions.
After watching all the matches of MSI's play-in matches, I feel that the gap between the teams in the wild card division and the teams in the four major divisions is too big, and to say a more interesting data, that is, since the start of the MSI competition, G2 teams, GG teams, and BLG teams have not lost a single game in the four major divisions, and they all have appeared to end the game within 20 minutes.
summary
The results of the MSI draw are also out, which matches do you think are worth paying attention to? I personally think it's worth watching Team BLG playing C9 and Team T1 playing MAD, because these two matches are the ones that I personally feel most likely to have upset. (Who do you think MSI will be eliminated first?) ）
