The kings of the LCK are finally on top of the mountain. T1 regained their crown in the most dominant split possible.

After their incredibly expensive super team crashed an burned, G2 Esports is once again the dominant force in Europe. Many did not expect G2 to hit it into high gear and make their way to MSI. The former MSI champions finished fourth in the regular season while also losing to Fnatic 3-1 in the upper bracket. From that moment something changed inside G2 as the squad put together a monstrous 10-0 lower bracket run to win the LEC spring split.

PCS: PSG Talon

PSG Talon is back on the international stage once again after lifting another PCS trophy. Even with the departures of veteran players River and Maple, the team was still as dominant as ever. Finishing the regular season with a 16-2 score. The playoffs told a different story for PSG, however, who had finally shown mortality domestically. PSG fell down to the lower bracket following a 3-1 defeat to Flying Oyster. PSG was able to learn from their defeat and take them down 3-2 in the grand final.

In their first split in the LLA, Team Aze has completed the Cinderella story and has qualified for MSI 2022. The Latam American qualified for the LLA in the Opening Promotion tournament. From the get-go the team had a meteoric rise to the top, finishing second in the regular season. The success did not stop there for Team Aze, however, the LLA side had to fight their way through the upper bracket including a victory over established international side R7. Aze would take down Estral in the finals 3-2 to book their ticket to South Korea.
