Meet the last news about MSI in League of Legends

SuperMassive made a successful return to MSI this year by dominating the group stage of the play-in draw, setting up a showdown against TSM.

The Turkish super team made it to MSI last year and took a game off CLG, who made the finals. After a disappointing summer the squad reloaded with new players, notably Berkay “Zeitnot” Aşıkuzun, the best ADC in the region. With Zeitnot they dominated the TCL regular season and playoffs, going 28-8 in games.

SuperMassive continued to show strong form an ocean away from home. Zeitnot in particular has been fantastic. Even when the team has encountered early struggles, they have been turned things around by giving priority to the ADC and controlling the macro game.

On the first day of the tournament, it looked like SuperMassive was on a collision course with the home-country team RED Canids. Both teams destroyed the the other squads in Group A, Japan’s Rampage and the OPL’s Dire Wolves. SuperMassive played brilliantly through their bot lane and Zeitnot was unstoppable in fights. RED Canids used clever macro and map control to strangle their opponents. But when the two met in the final match of the day, SuperMassive stepped up big. They put together nearly a perfect game and gave RED Canids a lot to think about heading into today’s matches.

SuperMassive will move on to face either North American team TSM or Taiwanese team Flash Wolves in a best-of-five on May 3 or 4. The winner will advance to the six-team main event of MSI.
