Peyz Already Holds an Impressive Record Before MSI 2026
With the second biggest international professional LoL tournament just around the corner, notable teams like T1, HLE, and BLG remain top contenders for the championship. Interestingly, even before MSI 2026 begins, T1’s ADC Peyz has already set a remarkable and difficult-to-break record from his debut appearance at MSI.
Up to now, Peyz holds the highest average kills per game in MSI history, totaling 28 kills with the champion Kalista. Even more impressive is that Peyz achieved this milestone against the formidable BLG. At that time, BLG was emerging as a global LoL powerhouse, but when facing Gen.G with Peyz, they managed only a single game 3 victory in the match.
Coincidentally, if Peyz and T1 advance past the Play-in stage in their second MSI appearance, they will face BLG again in the very first match of the Main Event under Riot’s new format. This means Peyz will encounter a familiar rival who has provided him with a full spectrum of emotions throughout his career, especially since his time competing in the LPL often involved clashes with BLG for titles.
Peyz is Showing Strong Form
In the second half of the LCK 2026 Rounds 1-2 group stage, Peyz has been regaining his form. However, for various reasons, he has yet to help T1 achieve the best possible results. MSI will serve both as a challenge and an opportunity for the 2005-born star to prove himself and help T1 and Faker end their nearly decade-long title drought at this event.
