VCS star considered a “veteran” but only now making MSI debut
At MSI 2026, many special factors could enhance the tournament’s excitement and quality, such as the appearance of the current champion Gen.G being dethroned before the event even starts, and the presence of talented players making their first MSI appearance, notably Bie – Support of TSW.
Bie, TSW’s Support, has played for nearly a decade since first appearing with FTV Esports. However, only this year with TSW is he attending MSI for the first time, despite previously playing mostly on top teams. When he was with GAM, the yellow-black team consistently finished behind Team Flash.
After that period, Bie moved through several teams where he remained a core player. However, Vikings Esports struggled to compete in LCP, while Hyper Vortex Esports and Saigon Dino couldn’t even qualify for LCP play.
TSW expected to perform well at MSI
Although MSI is the second largest international event in professional League of Legends with a shorter duration than Worlds, it remains a tournament where even major teams must be cautious. For example, T1, a powerhouse with three consecutive Worlds titles, has gone nearly 10 years without winning MSI despite reaching the finals twice.
Therefore, TSW, with many young players, may face tremendous pressure but also have the opportunity and reason to be hopeful for unexpected results.
