Detailed match schedule for the 2021 MSI group stages has been announced. Taking place on May 6, the opening match will see 2020 world champions, DWG KIA going against the LCS representatives, Cloud9. Historically, NA teams have faltered on the international stage. However, with Luka “Perkz” Perković transferring over from G2 to Cloud9, the mid lane matchup against Heo “ShowMaker” Su will be the one to look out for.
It was announced that VCS (Vietnam) is unable to attend this year’s MSI due to travel restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. With only three teams in group A (RNG, Pentanet.GG, and Unicorns of Love), the number of matches that they will be playing has doubled. Teams in group A will be playing against one another four times, for a total of 8 matches.
The group stages of the 2021 MSI will be taking place from May 6 to May 11, the rumble stage will be from May 14 to May 18, and the knockout stages will be from May 21 to May 23.
