Unusual picks, dominant games headline first day of MSI 2022 (Dot Esports)

The 2022 League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational has begun. The first stage of the event kicked off today with the first six matches between the 11 ...

Most of the results after the end of the first day of MSI 2022 were anticipated by the majority of League watchers, but the way the victories were earned was as surprising as the result of the last game of the day. Probably the most unexpected pick of day one at MSI came in the most anticipated game. In the third game of the day, ORDER showed up with what could have been a deadly first pick: Karthus in the jungle. Players and dynasties from every corner of the world collide, new champions arise in the meta, and unexpected teams show a more aggressive side to themselves. T1’s Oner chose Vi, the Piltover Enforcer, as their last pick against Saigon Buffalo in the first match of the event. The first day was packed with action and League fans watched the competition unfold as the teams took the stage for their first MSI 2022 appearance.

The numbers you need to know: MSI 2022 Group Stage edition (InvenGlobal)

League of Legends: MSI 2022 is now upon us, with 11 teams beginning their quest for an international title.

However, the tradeoff for this aggression is not really evident in the ways you would expect such as high kill participation (his 68.7% KP on the year is slightly above average) or early objective control (G2 average 0.72 dragons at 15 minutes, one of the lowest of MSI teams). That’s the number of games total that LCK representative and tournament favorite T1 have suffered during the Spring Split and playoffs. That’s the average experience differential at 15 minutes for G2’s jungler Marcin "Jankos" Jankowski. Of the 11 junglers attending MSI 2022, only three — Jankos, IW’s Hakan "Ferret" Mert Çakmak, and ORDER’s Shane "Kevy" Allen — are on average behind in experience at 15 minutes. Plenty of these top teams seem content to sacrifice one or two early dragons for a gold advantage. At 1.22 dragons taken before 15 minutes, Istanbul Wildcats have the best early objective control of any team at MSI 2022. They snowball this early dragon lead to average 3.22 dragons per game, which is also the best among MSI teams.

Oceanic underdogs ORDER had an uphill battle to turn heads in the Western group of life at MSI 2022. However, after a tight loss to G2 Esports got some ...

We’re going to smack them.” A miracle run which didn’t just start from MSI 2022 groups, but from their lower bracket playoffs match against Dire Wolves four best-of-fives ago. There’s been a lot of comparisons between the ORDER roster and Pentanet.GG’s run at MSI 2021 that put Oceanic League of Legends on the map. From this game, I just realize that it’s so winnable. Having scrimmed the best players in the world, he felt like playing G2 Esports on stage was no different to just practicing against LCK and LPL stars. “I was no longer being given any chances. He had gone 1-20 on Dire Wolves, and being last place in one of League of Legends’ weakest regions tanked his stocks. If we play a bit more standardly and optimize a few of those things, we’ll take those games.” “Honestly, it was the exact same as the Chiefs best-of-five [in the LCO 2022 Split 1 grand final], I remember. However, a tight game has put the “group of life” on notice. After being written off in their home region by many, the expectations when it came to the global stage were even lower. Oceanic underdogs ORDER had an uphill battle to turn heads in the Western group of life at MSI 2022.

G2 took down Team Vitality, Misfits Gaming, Fnatic and Rogue in their bid to win the Playoffs without losing a single game following their drop to the lower bracket. Returning to South Korea, G2 will likely face their old rivals T1 once again on their home soil. After this inspiring win, there was no stopping G2. With confidence and momentum, G2 took down North American hopefuls Team Liquid in the final match of the group stage. The duo of Rasmus 'caPs' Winther and Mihael 'Mikyx' Mehle was lethal in the mid lane, while Perkz was a one-man army in the bot lane. In 2019, G2 started their campaign in South Korea with a bang, defeating Taiwan's Flash Wolves. Their next two matches would result in losses against the LPL's Invictus Gaming and the VCS' Phong Vũ Buffalo, but G2 didn't let these failures break them. G2 managed to make it out of this match as the victors, achieving a dominant 3-1 result.

MSI 2022 Day 1 review: Expected results, unexpected comps (Upcomer)

Day 1 of MSI 2022 has come and gone. With results mostly expected, there was still a lot to talk about including the whack champion picks.

The marquee matchup of Day 1 happening again in Day 2. Day 2 of MSI 2022 kicks off in the early morning of Wednesday, May 11. With a level one bush set-up, Shogun and support Đinh “Taki” Anh Tài took full advantage of their champion picks to draw the first kill of the entire tournament before either team had time to take a single minion. G2 were on point in their first match against Evil Geniuses, and after they smacked EG, the team took to social media to share a very fun fact. His Anivia was the difference-maker in the game, as caPs went deathless and G2 picked up the first strike in this iteration of the Europe versus North America rivalry. The opening of 2022 Mid-Season Invitational has come and gone with all 11 teams getting a chance to play.
