Introduction: The S16 season has officially started, and the majority of players are paying close attention to the recent competition. The MSI tournament is fiercely contested. T1, as the dominant force in the play-in stage, has been widely discussed recently. Many netizens have even joked that this year's play-ins are long and boring, essentially just a warm-up for T1. In the past couple of days, insiders have also revealed T1's scrim results. Overall, their performance hasn't been that great—against stronger teams, their win rate is very low. Especially against TES, they only managed a 1-6 record, a win rate of just 14%. Of course, this hasn't been officially confirmed, so we'll have to wait for the official announcement.

Most players are quite interested in this MSI event. As a top-tier global tournament, this MSI seems to have less attention than usual, mainly due to the play-in format. The double-elimination BO5 system makes the play-in matches completely unexciting—so far, every series has been a clean 3-0 sweep, with no real competition at all. Many fans are eagerly waiting for the main event. Barring any surprises, T1 should easily secure their spot and then face BLG. Recently, an insider publicly revealed T1's scrim results, though the authenticity is uncertain. Based on the data, TES seems to have a relatively stable rhythm.

First, let's look at the scrim data disclosed by the insider. On the 22nd, they played against HLE and BLG, with records of 2-2 and 3-2 respectively. On the 23rd, they lost 0-3 to TES. On the 24th, they went 3-1 against G2 and 1-2 against HLE. On the 25th, they played more matches—against HLE, BLG, and T1S, ending with records of 2-2, 2-2, and 1-3. On the 26th, they scrimmed G2 and KC, with results of 2-1 and 3-0. On the 27th, they faced HLE and G2, going 2-2 and 2-1. This leak only covers scrims before the MSI started; there is no data after the tournament began.

Overall, TES appears to be in the best shape right now, with an extremely high win rate. In their scrims against T1, they had a record of 1-6, winning 86% of the matches. According to netizen leaks, TES's internal goal is clear: to defeat HLE within 90 minutes, avenging the humiliation of 2025. In the second tier, G2 and T1 had more wins in scrims, but they were mostly crushed by TES. In the third tier, HLE's overall pace is unstable, and they haven't fully adapted to the new MSI patch.

The worst off is LPL champion BLG, with all members in poor form. Viper's hand injury is quite serious, and Knight is also suffering from injuries, performing poorly. It is said that recently they have even been afraid to scrim against strong teams. According to Korean solo queue data, Knight hasn't played a single ranked game on the Korean server in 20 days, while other players continue normal training—including the head coach, who is still grinding solo queue. Is BLG really going to crash this time? After all that hard-earned momentum, they must not stumble in this MSI.

According to netizen leaks, TES has emerged as the strongest team in this MSI. Of course, this is only insider and fan speculation, not official data—everything must be confirmed by official announcements. However, BLG's situation does seem unfavorable lately, with player injuries severely affecting training pace. In a few days, the main stage begins. Can they withstand the pressure in their first match against T1?
What do you, dear viewers, think about all this?
