The play-in stage is complete and we finally know exactly which teams will be competing in the the Mid-Season Invitational Group stage. All six teams gathered at MSI 2018 won their respective leagues and are now set to face off for the title of Mid-Season Champion.
For the first time ever, Team Liquid will be representing North America at MSI, giving NA fans a brand new hope to cheer for on the international stage. Meanwhile, LCK champions KING-ZONE DragonX will look to make up for their disappointing performance at Worlds 2017 with a win at this tournament. Representing the LPL will be world-renowned ADC Jian “Uzi” Zi-Hao who will be making his first MSI appearance this year. As for returning talent, MSI will also host Fnatic from Europe and the Flash Wolves from LMS.
With so much new and returning talent, as well as five days worth of group stage games to prove themselves, the 2018 Mid-Season Invitational should be one of the most exciting international tournaments ever.
