After an amazing tiebreaker game against Unicorns of Love today, PentanetGG have earned themselves a spot in the rumble stage at the 2021 Mid-Season Invitational. The team has also made League of Legends history by becoming the first team from Oceania to make it out of the group stage at an international tournament. The OCE region has always been considered an underdog whenever its representatives attended international events, and were usually eliminated during the play-ins or group stage. Their chances at success were also hampered even further when Riot Games

Day four of the 2021 League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational was all about Group A. In traditional fashion for international tournaments, the second round robin presents opportunities for teams to play all of their remaining group stage games throughout the course of a single day.  Today, after six games featuring the same three teams, we finally have our first two teams that will be advancing to the new-for-2021 rumble stage: Royal Never Give Up and PentanetGG. But beyond the results column, the second half of the group stage is already

After the LPL’s Royal Never Give Up locked in the first ticket to the Mid-Season Invitational’s Rumble Stage earlier today, PentanetGG defeated Unicorns of Love in a one-game tiebreaker to advance as well.  Coming into the match, the two League of Legends teams both posted records of 2-6 in the group stage. Since Pentanet and UOL had both found two wins over each other during the group stage, a decisive fifth game was needed to decide which among them would advance to the Rumble stage.

It’s been a long time since Royal Never Give Up, one of the LPL’s most storied organizations, has tasted blood on the international stage.  In 2018, they were considered one of the greatest League of Legends teams in the world. RNG looked unbeatable, winning the Mid-Season Invitational to bring the LPL its first international victory in three years. Superstar AD carry Uzi was at the top of his game—boasting the highest of many stats at MSI 2018, including KDA (8.6), total kills (104), CS per minute (12), and damage per

The first international League of Legends event of the year starts with the Mid-Season Invitational in Reykjavík, Iceland on May 6. The event brings together 11 of the best teams from around the world in a three-week tournament–but the stakes have never been higher. This year, to incentivize teams to perform on the big stage, Riot Games has introduced a new format and prize structure.  The developer scrapped the play-in stage, which involved eight minor regions in a pre-tournament bracket, and has split the 11 teams into four tiers based
