The festivities begin on opening day with the LCK’s undefeated kings, T1, as the world welcomes back the VCS to international play via representatives Saigon Buffalo. The Vietnamese squad has one of the youngest rosters with only one player on the starting lineup over the age of 19, and yet, they are kicking off their adventure against arguably the best team in the event.

Fans will also get a chance to watch another classic EU vs. NA matchup when the newest LCS champions, Evil Geniuses, meet up with the LEC’s new-look G2 Esports. Both teams have a perfect combination of veteran leadership combined with fiery rookie talent that should culminate into an explosive game on the Summoner’s Rift.

The 2022 Mid-Season Invitational is set to begin in Busan on Tuesday, May 10.
