This is how the duels for the Key phase of the Mid-Season Invitational 2023 were

Now that the Play-In phase of the 2023 Mid-Season Invitational has come to an end, it is time to turn all our attention to what will be the Bracket phase, in which the 8 best teams of the season will compete against each other at through a brutal double elimination bracket.

After finishing the last battle in which Golden Guardians achieved their classification by crushing PSG Talon with authority, Riot Games revealed the schedules for each of the games that we will be able to enjoy from May 9, with all the crossings being raffled in a way random by the wise hands of Andrei “Odoamne” Pascu.

Unlike the previous phase, all the classified squads will face each other through best-of-5 series, so each day of competition we will have a confrontation between the giants of the larger regions until we determine the new champion this year.

The premier leagues will seek to add another international medal

To kick off the final stage of the event, Gen.G, the reigning two-time LCK champion will defend his pride and position as a title contender against G2 Esports, who arrive after sweeping LOUD and PSG Talon in both Play-In series without knowing the defeat.

The second day will bring us the long-awaited debut of MAD Lions against T1, with Faker’s squad starting their path to redemption after falling in the final of the last edition. However, the LEC champions will also try to demonstrate the power of the Western leagues by bringing their best cards to the London stage.

The third date of the initial round will provide a match with many contrasts, as the LCS champion will have to face off with the second best in the LPL. Cloud9 has proven to be capable of breaking expectations in internationals in the past, and after what happened to Bilibili Gaming in their match with the Guardians, the multi-time North American champion may have a chance to break the predictions.

And speaking of the runners-up in this region, the Golden Guardians will want to avenge the loss they sustained against the Chinese in the Play-In, although this time they will have to do it with the two-time LPL champions. Likewise, JD Gaming owes a great debt to its fans, because after their elimination in the semifinals of Worlds 2022, they are still looking to reach the top to keep their region at the top.

Since the other confrontations will depend on the results of each of these duels, for now we will leave you with the complete itinerary of the MSI 2023 Keys phase.
