League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational Match to Watch on Day Three

If you're only able to catch one game on Day Three of the MSI main event, make sure it's this one.

Day Three will be the halfway point for the group stage of MSI, so it’s no surprise that we’ll start to see teams face off against enemies they’ve already played. The match to watch on Day Three will be the rematch of Kingzone DragonX and Team Liquid, as one team will be looking for revenge, while the other will want to cement their status as the best there is.

Kingzone DragonX

It’s a lot of pressure being the top team from Korea. Everyone watching assumes that you are the best team in the world, and that paints a very big target on your back. With the Play-In stage finals still to take place, we’ve yet to see the Korean powerhouse take the field, however that doesn’t mean they aren’t still the team to fear. With top laner Kim "Khan" Dong-ha, jungler Han "Peanut" Wang-ho, mid laner Gwak "Bdd" Bo-seong, AD Carry Kim "PraY" Jong-in, support Kang "GorillA" Beom-hyeon, and substitute jungler Moon "Cuzz" Woo-chan all gearing up to showcase their skill, it’s no wonder this is the team everyone wants to face.

Team Liquid

North America has never really enjoyed a lot of success on the international stage. Some teams have done admirably, like Counter Logic Gaming taking second place at the 2016 Mid-Season Invitational, or TSM claiming victory at the IEM Season 9 World Championship. But winning IEM is not the same as winning MSI or Worlds, and coming second at MSI might be a nice footnote on your record, but it still doesn’t mean you won. The current Team Liquid squad of top laner Jung "Impact" Eon-yeong, jungler Jake "Xmithie" Puchero, mid laner Eugene "Pobelter" Park, AD Carry Yiliang "Peter" "Doublelift" Peng, support Kim "Olleh" Joo-sung, and substitute support Joseph "Joey" Haslemann will be looking to flip the expectations many have of the NA LCS, and prove that they can be just as dominant as the rest of the major regions when it comes to international events.
