After yesterday’s matches on May 15, the six teams qualifying for the MSI 2022 Rumble Stage have been officially confirmed. Alongside the collective achievements, the Play-In Stage of MSI 2022 also showcased numerous outstanding performances from veterans to young talents. Let’s take a look at some interesting statistics after the conclusion of the MSI 2022 Play-In Stage.
First, we have to talk about the KDA stat where T1’s Zeus has been “ousted” by a surprising name, G2 Esports’ Flakked. After being closely monitored by opponents in the latter stages, Zeus’s KDA dropped sharply from 31.0 to just 9.0. Meanwhile, Flakked boasts an impressive KDA of 16.8, going down only 6 times in 8 games. This statistic shows that G2’s ADC is extremely skilled at staying alive and positioning during team fights.
Next up, in terms of laning ability, Faker continues to show that he is the strongest midlaner at MSI 2022. Specifically, all gold difference metrics, minion counts, and experience at the 15-minute mark place Faker at the top of the Mid Lane. The two players trailing behind T1’s “president” in these stats are RNG’s Xiaohu and G2’s Caps, showcasing the dominance of these veteran players.
Moving on to the “team-carrying” metric, two standout names in the ADC position are definitely Gala and Shogun. They are the two players with the highest damage per minute to champions at MSI 2022, with Gala at 625 DPM and Shogun at 615 DPM. In fact, in terms of “team-carrying” ability, Shogun slightly surpasses Gala, leading among ADCs with a contribution of 27.4% damage to his team. This indicates that SGB’s ADC is not inferior to any of the renowned counterparts in the “team-carrying” aspect at MSI 2022.
For the Top Lane position, an interesting detail is that SGB’s Hasmed also possesses extremely strong metrics compared to other top-tier players globally. In terms of damage output, he has an impressive 543 DPM, only trailing RNG’s Bin (552 DPM) in the Top Lane. Even in terms of gold earned, Hasmed ranks second behind Zeus with 416 DPM. It seems that this MSI, alongside Shogun, Hasmed is also a formidable weapon for SGB.
