SN Bean J 0105 — 5. Trần "Bean J" Văn Chính

Saigon Buffalo’s young jungler had an impressive spring split and won the regular season MVP awards. Saigon Buffalo lost the final against GAM Esports, who will play in the Asian Games. We have missed the VCS representatives in the previous MSI, so this is a chance to see how their best jungler fares on the international stage. | © VCS & Riot Games

RNG Wei1 — 4. Yan "Wei” Yang-Wei

The RNG jungler has gone a long way from the rookie who took ignite instead of smite in one infamous game in 2020. While both his solo laners deserve to be watched, Wei was the engine of the RNG team that won the LPL finals against Top Esports and we are eager to see him again. | © LPL & Riot Games

LCK twitter guma 0105 — 3. Lee "Gumayusi" Min-hyeong

T1’s AD Carry has had his ups and downs, but this season, he wrote his name in bold letters in the LCK history by breaking the record for most kills per split. He is a big reason for T1’s undefeated split and is widely seen as the best player at his position in the world. Will he prove that at the international stage?| © LCK

G2 Caps1 0105 — 2. Rasmus "caPs" Winther

The last year or so was not the best in caPs’ career, but despite an up-and-down regular split he showed up big when it counted. CaPs delivered standout playoff performances against the best mids in Europe and we are excited to see what he would do on the MSI stage. | © Riot Games

Faker T1 0105 — 1. Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok

The GOAT is back and he has something to prove. T1 were utterly dominant this season, winning every series in the regular match and dropping only a single game in the playoffs. At MSI, he will be facing off against other big names like caPs and Xiaohu and we can’t wait to see them face off.| © LCK & Riot Games

1-5

The Mid-Season Invitational is coming soon, bringing the best teams from 11 regions together to decide the best team of the spring. T1 come off an undefeated split and want to win in front of their home stage. Royal Never Give Up won a five-game final to return to the LPL throne and will defend their MSI 2021 crown. G2 Esports stumbled at first before making dramatic lower bracket runs to win the LEC, while Evil Geniuses did a similar feat in the LCS. MSI is a contest of champions which only one team can win.
