Look Sports Media – The League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) is set to explode in Vancouver, Canada, with the world’s top League of Legends teams vying for glory and a coveted spot at the World Championships. While the legendary Faker will undoubtedly be a focal point, MSI 2025 is brimming with other players poised to steal the spotlight. Let’s delve into the key players from each team who will be instrumental in their quest for victory.
Gen.G’s Chovy: While Gen.G boasts an all-star roster, making them MSI favorites according to numerous betting sites, mid-laner Chovy (Jeong Ji-hoon) stands out. His dominance in the LCK Rounds 1-2, leading all mid-laners in key stats like CS, gold, and damage per minute (with a remarkable 7.3 KDA), speaks volumes. After securing his first MSI trophy last year, Chovy aims for a repeat performance and a stronger showing at Worlds than in 2024.
T1’s Gumayusi: The reigning World Champions, T1, have had a rollercoaster year, particularly for bot laner Gumayusi (Lee Min-hyeong). Despite time on the bench, he’s returned to his formidable best. His astonishing KDA of 17.1 (seven deaths in seven games during the LCK Road to MSI) eclipses even Chovy’s impressive numbers. While Faker often commands attention, Gumayusi’s team-fight prowess will be crucial to T1’s success.

Movistar KOI’s Elyoya: While the historic achievement of Jojopyun (Joseph Joon Pyun) as the first North American to win the LEC is noteworthy, Movistar KOI’s success hinges on jungler Elyoya (Javier Prades Batalla). A four-time LEC champion without ever playing for Fnatic or G2 Esports, this will be his seventh international tournament and third MSI. His proactive early-game jungling will be paramount.
G2 Esports’ SkewMond: For G2’s jungler SkewMond (Rudy Semaan), MSI 2025 marks his first international event. Despite the pressure of being a G2 pro and the disappointment of losing both LEC finals this year, SkewMond’s consistent performance and ability to facilitate his teammates’ success will be tested against the world’s elite junglers.
Anyone’s Legend’s Hope: Making their international debut, Anyone’s Legend bring a formidable roster. While veterans Flandre and Tarzan often garner attention, ADC Hope (Wang Jie) is the key. His 6.4 average kills this split, surpassing even Gen.G’s Ruler, highlights his lethal potential.
Bilibili Gaming’s Knight: A Chinese superstar and former MSI champion, Knight (Zhuo Ding) is a force to be reckoned with. His brilliance in last year’s Worlds final pushed T1 to their limits. However, BLG’s recent struggles demand Knight’s signature mechanical outplays to turn their fortunes around.
FlyQuest’s Inspired: Inspired (Kacper Sioma) directly challenges Elyoya for the title of best Western jungler. His strategic brilliance, exemplified by the game-winning backdoor call against Cloud9 and his impactful Nunu pick against Gen.G at Worlds, makes him a player to watch.
FURIA’s JoJo: FURIA’s dominant LTA South Split finals victory was fueled by support JoJo (Gabriel Dzelme de Oliveira). His 80.4% kill participation and league-leading 12.7 average assists demonstrate his pivotal role within the team.
