One interesting thing about the MSI 2022 this time is that the elite representatives from the three major regions, including LCK, LPL, and LEC, all have some of the world’s top Mid Laners. As for Faker, with his titles and immense influence, we are all well aware of this player’s greatness. Meanwhile, Xiaohu and Caps are the leading figures of RNG and G2 and always play a crucial role in their teams’ gameplay, regardless of any roster changes.
Therefore, comparing these top Mid Laners at MSI 2022 is an inevitable topic. In a post that received a lot of agreement on the Hupu forum, Caps has been rated as the best Mid Laner of MSI 2022 so far, surpassing even Xiaohu and Faker. The reason for this high rating is Caps’ extremely wide champion pool and his significant influence on G2 Esports’ gameplay.
If you didn’t know, after 8 matches at MSI 2022, Caps has used 8 different champions from control mages to assassins and even fighters. Even when playing some champions that serve as support for teammates like Galio or Twisted Fate, Caps still showcased his dominance over opponents.
Besides the champion pool, Caps’ explosive damage output is also a very powerful weapon for G2 Esports. This player contributes the most damage (27.3%) and frequently creates key situations leading to victories for the G2 lineup. Just yesterday, Caps showcased an outstanding Yasuo performance, significantly helping G2 defeat EG.
Of course, concluding that Caps is the number one Mid Laner at MSI 2022 is a bit premature and not very convincing. With a team placing Caps in the best position to shine, he will stand out more than other players. Meanwhile, Xiaohu and Faker are still performing excellently in their assigned roles at RNG and T1. Perhaps we will only be able to conclude who the top Mid Laner at MSI 2022 is during the Rumble Stage when the top teams face each other.
