As the MSI international tournament approaches, many League of Legends media outlets have recently released various MSI match statistics. Among them, a foreign media outlet ranked MSI players by strength. BLG's mid-laner, Knight, surpassed LCK players like Faker and Zeka, thanks to his impressive domestic league stats and recent international performances, and was voted the top player of this MSI. Additionally, BLG's top-laner, Bin, also made it to the tenth spot on the list.

Of course, many BLG fans criticized Bin's ranking as too low, given that BLG's only international championship in recent years was won with Bin as the Finals MVP. Many viewers believe that for BLG to achieve success at MSI, Bin must "step up." I also took a look at this player ranking list and noticed that foreign streamers and analysts truly "underestimate Faker," placing him at eighth. In fact, many streamers consider Faker to be T1's "weak link." Meanwhile, T1 support Keria and jungler Oner received unexpectedly high rankings. What do you think of the credibility of this list?

This list was created based on votes from overseas League of Legends streamers and casters. Among them, the well-known BLG fan Yamato recently praised Knight's skills extensively during a live stream, stating that Knight is currently the best mid-laner in the world, while T1's support Keria is among the top two players globally. Yamato once made an exaggerated claim during a live stream, saying that Faker only wins championships because Keria and Oner carry him. Following Yamato's logic, if T1 advances from the play-in stage, would Knight be able to dominate Faker in a head-to-head matchup?

TES's bot lane has been criticized by foreign media as a weakness.

In addition to criticizing Faker's performance, Yamato also commented in a video on why TES has become a "choke artist" in international tournaments. Yamato believes that TES's poor international results are not particularly related to junglers Tian and Kanavi. The biggest problem lies in the bot lane duo's shortcomings. According to Yamato, TES's bot laner JKL is a "shot-calling AD" who can direct his support during domestic leagues, but during international tournaments, he lacks the extra energy to command the support, causing both JKL and the support to become weaknesses for the team.

Yamato thinks TES's support choices in recent years have been failures, leading to the team effectively playing 4v5 against strong opponents at international events. JKL, burdened by the support, ends up being the "scapegoat" for defeats. Whenever JKL faces strong AD carries at world tournaments, he cannot perform at his "normal level" from the domestic league and even becomes a liability for the team. In the AD carry rankings, Yamato placed Gumayusi and Peyz very high, while putting Viper in an "irrelevant" position.

Yamato believes Viper's current situation is quite awkward. Although Viper is individually strong, his role within BLG is minimal. BLG wins games primarily through the performances of their top, mid, and support. While Viper has carried games occasionally, he serves as a "utility player" for BLG. As a result, when BLG wins, Viper doesn't seem to have a significant impact. In contrast, Gumayusi and Peyz have both been core members of their respective teams. Whenever BLG tries to make Viper the core, the outcome is usually poor. Yamato ranks Viper third, which is reasonable, as Viper neither carries nor suddenly throws games.
