Coincidentally, the blue side was favored by each team and was the only side in which teams won games in this series.  There were no surprising pocket picks by any team but there were mildly interesting ones such as Jayce and Nocturne mid.  There were stellar performances across the board from Khan on Lee Sin to Ghost’s pentakill to RNG’s complete dominance in Game 5.  

MSI 2021 MVP

Gala earned the Oppo MVP reward, the first time that such a title has been given out at an MSI event.  The young 20 year old performed spectacularly in his first international event, barring Demacia Cups.  Sporting over a 5 KDA with his CS averaging around 10 per minute, Gala put the ‘carry’ in ‘ADC’.  

As MSI Reykjavik draws to a close, some lessons have to be reiterated looking forward towards Worlds.  North America is in dire straits, regions like the LJL, PCS, and LCO can be viable competitors, and the LPL is still a Tier 1 juggernaut that will produce fearsome competitors come September.
