T1 vs Saigon Buffalo League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) 2022 Day 1: Head-to-Head, livestream details, and more
The opening match of the League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) 2022 is set to take place between T1 and Saigon Buffalo. This is not a big game by any means, but the hype surrounding this one is quite high as it is the first match of the tournament.
Apart from that, fans are eagerly waiting to witness T1 take to the stage once again after its 20-0 undefeated run in the LCK 2022 Spring Split. In any case, this match will probably be a walk in the park for T1.
If Saigon Buffalo manages to upset T1 by some miracle, it will definitely be a very interesting start to MSI 2022.
Saigon Buffalo had an up-and-down season in the League of Legends Vietnam Championship Series (VCS) 2022 Spring Split. The team managed to win 9 games and lost 5, thereby placing second during the regular season.
Overall, Saigon Buffalo always lagged behind the VCS 2022 Spring Split leaders, GAM Esports. On account of the second-place finish, the former had to play only one game in the playoffs against Team Secret to book a place in the finals.
It was a close match, and Saigon Buffalo won the same 3-2. However, during the finals, GAM Esports demolished Saigon Buffalo 3-1, which really put a dent in the team's overall stature.
Nevertheless, it is well known that to qualify for MSI 2022, a team needs to win its Spring Split. As it turns out, GAM Esports is unable to participate on account of national representation at the 31st SEA (South East Asia) Games. Thus, by default, Saigon Buffalo made its way into MSI 2022.
T1, on the other hand, is arguably the best team in the world right now. This roster managed not just to win the Spring Split of the LCK and stay undefeated, but broke a previous record that was held by none other than SKT itself back in 2015.
