With the Mid-Season Invitational around the corner, spring playoffs across major regions have delivered decisive moments that will shape the international tournament field. G2 Esports secured their 19th LEC title after Rudy “SkewMond” Semaan put in a masterful performance but Team WE’s unlikely playoff run finally hit a wall against Top Esports in the LPL, who guaranteed themselves China’s first MSI seed.
The weekend’s action confirmed Top Esports and G2 for MSI’s bracket stage but several regions still have qualification battles ahead. Cloud9 is facing up to another disappointing elimination in North America after a 0-3 sweep by LYON, while Dplus KIA’s early exit from the LCK has raised questions for a team who were looking to go all the way.
