LoL MSI 2022 format and streams
First, teams compete against each other in three groups, and the winners and runners-up in each group receive a ticket to what is called the Rumble Stage. This is one free set for everyone. From this stage, four participants exit the final round. While the best 5 series is played in the qualifiers, the first two phases consist of the best singles games – this saves time and possibly increases the likelihood of surprises. After all, a losing team is more likely to win one game than to win three rounds against a superior opponent.
- group stage May 10-15 2022
- rumble stage May 20-24, 2022
- qualifiers – 27-29 May 2022
The experience of the past few years puts China and South Korea on the list of candidates to win the MSI. Perhaps the lower latency conditions this year for all teams will be a deciding factor in allowing one of the underdogs to work hard – for example, G2 already won the cup in 2019 and has the experience to shine on the international stage. The stage of the first group, which is prepared as follows, will show whether there are difficulties in adapting to changing conditions:
- Group A: DetonatioN FocusMe, Saigon Buffalo, T1, Team Aze
- group b: PSG Talon, RED Canids, Royal Never Give Up, Istanbul Wildcats
- group c: Evil Geniuses, G2 Esports und ORDER
