MSI 2022 Knockout Stage: These are the semi-finals and final of the tournament.

The Knockout Stage is where the top four teams of MSI 2022 meet. As the group winner of the Rumble Stage, RNG was allowed to choose an opponent for their semi-final – the choice fell on EG from the American LCS. So T1 had to face G2 Esports again. In a thrilling game Royal Never Give Up won 3:0 against Evil Geniuses. EG held up well in at least two games, but RNG played out all their experience. In the second semi-final, G2 was badly stomped by T1. The last game lasted only 20 minutes – it was one of the fastest best-of-fives at MSI ever.

• 28 May 2022, 10:00: Second semifinal: T1 vs. G2 Esports – Win T1 (3:0)

MSI 2022: Favorites for the title – who are the biggest LoL stars?

Who are the favorites? When it comes to the best League of Legends teams in the world, eyes are always quick to turn towards Asia. In particular, the Korean team T1 looks unstoppable this year. T1 managed an incredible – Season without defeat in the best region in the world, as South Korea is seen by almost every expert.

They finished the group stage with an 18-0 record. In the playoffs, the second-place team Gen. G won only one game. T1’s superstar Faker has been considered one of the best players in the world for many years. They also already won MSI in 2016 and 2017.

T1’s biggest competitor should normally be the LPL Team Royal Never Give Up (RNG) be. The team narrowly prevailed in China’s League of Legends league – but they won’t travel to Busan in South Korea due to Corona regulations. The two-time winners have yet to prove whether they can keep up with the other teams online.

G2 Esports Is probably only to be considered an outsider. G2 even won MSI 2019, beating T1 3:2 in the semi-finals. The team around Jungler Jankos is always capable of such a surprise. G2 and EG should both reach the rumble stage, as they are competing in the group of three.

Who are the stars? T1’s Faker has been the superstar in the game League of Legends since 2013. At that time he was just 17 years old. He is still seen by many as the GOAT (greatest player of all time) in LoL. The best-known player from China is probably Xiaohu, who also won the MSI with RNG in 2018 and 2021 – back then on the top lane, today he is a midlaner. RNG’s support Ming was also involved in both victories.

But there are LoL superstars aside from the two favorites as well. G2’s Jankos has been the mainstay of the European superteam for years. With G2, he won MSI 2019 and made it to the finals of the World Championship in the same year. In the LCS last year, a rookie came up trumps. EG’s Botlaner Danny carried the team from win to win throughout the playoffs. Outsider PSG Talon has an ace up its sleeve in Taiwanese toplaner Hanabi. He could carve the team all the way to the rumble stage or even the knockout stage.
