The Legacy of MSI Champions

Since its inception in 2015, the Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) has been one of the most prestigious tournaments in the League of Legends ecosystem. The competition brings together the top teams from across the globe to battle it out for glory and the title of MSI Champion. Let’s take a look at the history of the tournament and the teams that have emerged victorious over the years.

2015-2016: The Early Years

The first two years of MSI were dominated by the Korean powerhouse SK Telecom T1. In 2015, they swept the tournament with a perfect 6-0 record and cemented their status as one of the best teams in the world. The following year, they faced stiff competition from China’s Royal Never Give Up and North America’s Counter Logic Gaming, but ultimately emerged victorious with a 3-0 sweep of RNG in the finals. SKT’s performance in these early years set the standard for what it meant to be an MSI champion.

2017-2018: The Rise of the LPL

The 2017 and 2018 editions of MSI saw the emergence of the League of Legends Pro League (LPL) as a major force in the tournament. In 2017, South Korea’s SKT made it to the finals for the third year in a row but were upset by the Chinese team Edward Gaming. The following year, Royal Never Give Up claimed the first MSI title for the LPL with a convincing 3-1 victory over Kingzone DragonX. China’s rise to dominance was further solidified by Invictus Gaming’s win in the 2018 World Championship.

2019-2021: The Age of G2 Esports

The most recent era of MSI has been defined by the European team G2 Esports. In 2019, they became the first Western team to win the tournament with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Team Liquid. The following year saw them return to the finals, but they were unable to defend their title and lost to China’s FunPlus Phoenix. In 2021, G2 once again made it to the finals but were defeated by China’s Royal Never Give Up in a 3-2 nail-biter. Despite their recent loss, G2’s performance over the last three years has firmly established them as one of the strongest teams in the world.

In conclusion, the MSI has been a showcase of some of the best League of Legends talent in the world. From SK Telecom T1’s early domination to China’s rise to power and Europe’s recent ascension, the tournament has seen a variety of different champions and play styles. It will be exciting to see what the future holds for MSI and which teams will emerge as champions in the years to come.
