G2 took preferring the lower bracket to a whole other level

I feel quite sorry that the Vietnamese team was unable to attend MSI due to being hindered. VCS has not been able to participate in an international tournament three times, and most importantly, Kati won the championship with Team Flash and Gam in those three times. I hope Kati and Gam can join the tournament later this year

When you keep up with the signs, they actually made LCS win the thing XD

[behindDkeys]

VCS so good they got out of group stages ahead of everyone

Shorter explanation of this video: "Damwon will advance, Damwon will advance, Damwon will advance, Damwon will win the finals. Damwon, your MSI 2021 champion!"

C9 beating PNG in the final after PNG take out DWK while RNG don't even make it to knockouts is a very bold prediction, editors (yes, I kept track of all the changed icons)

That instrumental in the background is sick

Spooky Orianna doesn't exist she can't hurt you

0:51 So Riot is saying that the Finals will be Perkz vs brTT. Look at the logo's. The left one is for LCS and the right one is for CBLOL. This is similar to 2019 World's song when Riot predicted FPX win. Suspicious :)🤔🤔🤔

[vankobanko]

I like how they implied that the finals will be LCS vs CBLoL and that LCS would win. XD

[querish]

If europe wins ill be fairly dissapointed. Mad lions are just straight bad (imagine having Carzzy in a team lmao). Id like anyone but them to represent my region

[lodygeym]

Imagine being Oceania in group a. You have a bigger chance to get out of group and you 100% will not

[oQuangMinh-torv]

Don't miss us VCS too much, we will be back at Worlds this year stronger than ever

[davidornelas]

I still don't get the round robin thing. Does this mean in the group stage, every team plays each other twice within their group?

[williampalmiter]

hopefully we will get to see the VCS at worlds this year

[megalul]

If you look carefully you can notice the symbol that was representing LCS won msi so i think that confirms the script...

[Germain]

RNG is about to go 8-0 in group stage 😳

[tukamolol]

Group A:
LPL, CIS, LCO

VCS: I was here.

COVID-19: nope !

Sadge :(
