The ESL One Stockholm Major finally arrived and we already had a couple of very unexpected results. One of those results is related to one of the teams having visa issues, which we talked about a couple of days ago. It’s a bit disappointing to see that the first major of the year has faced so many troubles, from teams being disqualified, to a whole region missing out on the tournament. Now on the first day of the event, one of the teams was forced to forfeit their first match, and it’s still unsure how long these problems will last.
When it comes to the 2022 MSI, two teams stand out above the rest by a huge margin. Although in prior years we’ve seen many upsets, like back in 2019. We had a NA vs EU grand finals, where Team Liquid, the team that beat world champion Invictus Gaming in the semifinals, would try to take down a G2 that had just defeated Korea’s SKT T1. It’s crazy to think that something like that happened not too long ago because now coming into the 2022 MSI, it seems very unlikely that we’ll see something similar happen.
The PCS representatives never fail to deliver an exciting storyline when it comes to international events, and it looks like this time won’t be an exception.

The most unexpected result was Red Canids taking down PSG Talon in a very dominating fashion. It’s still unclear if PSG Talon just had a bad day or the PCS level has gone down considerably. Gabriel Vinicius “Aegis” Saes de Lemos almost single-handedly carried the Canids to victory with his Wukong pick. Red Canids’ Jojo also delivered a solid performance for the Brazilian team which puts them in a good spot for their upcoming match against Istanbul Wildcats.
As the first major of the year unfolds, we’ve seen some favorite teams completely stomp their enemies, while others have actually struggled to secure seemingly easy wins.
