Description
G2 Esports recently secured a spot in the 2023 League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) after winning the LEC 2023 Winter Split in dominant fashion. However, with this ranking comes a twist, as the two European seeds for MSI 2023 will be determined through a new ranking system. Unlike other regions that have two Splits, the LEC has three, with each major region having two seeds at MSI 2023. As a result, the winner of the LEC Winter Split will only receive the second seed. If G2 Esports wants to become the first seed, the team will also need to win the 2023 LEC Spring Split. Winning both Splits is a tall order, but G2 Esports has the quality to pull off that feat. However, if G2 Esports wins the Spring Split, the second seed from Europe will likely be selected based on championship points. This means that any team that performs consistently will have a real chance at MSI 2023.
This new system rewards perseverance, something that did not happen in previous seasons. Previously, only the winner of the Spring Split had a seat at MSI, giving teams no incentive to perform consistently. However, this year, teams that perform well throughout the year will have a shot at the MSI 2023.
Along with the MSI 2023 Qualifier, G2 Esports also secured a spot in the 2023 LEC Season Finals. This means that even if the team finishes last in the Spring and Summer Splits, they will still have a chance to win the 2023 trophy. LEC season. This is a significant boost for G2 Esports as they can now focus on their preparations for the international stage without worrying about qualifying for Worlds 2023.
While G2 Esports has secured a spot at MSI 2023, the team still has a long way to go if it wants to become the top seed. However, the new rating system rewards consistency and will provide for an exciting year for League of Legends fans.
