2016 MSI: Top 15 plays from the group stage
By Andrew Ross
15.) HuHi flashes into Poppy ult.
Choi “HuHi” Jae-hyun started the tournament off with Aurelion Sol and was constantly trying to make plays with him. In this play, HuHi thought he could be slick and avoid the Poppy ultimate by using his flash, but all that actually happened was him wasting the summoner spell for no other reason than to make us laugh.
14.) Kikis’ Faker delivery.
Poor, Mateusz “Kikis” Szkudlarek. The top laner was able to ult Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok out of the fight, which would normally be good, but he sent him flying right next to a weak Luka “PerkZ” Perkovic that resulted in an easy kill for Faker.
This play symbolizes how MSI went for G2.
13.) Blank somehow lives.
Kang “Blank” Sun-gu took the most heat out of all the SKT members when the team went 0-4 during day two and three, but he picked things up after that and was a large reason why SKT pulled things together again.
Here he is being super aggressive against G2 by diving their bot lane tower with three members there. He probably thought he would die but was fine with the exchange, but he somehow lived with a sliver of health all while helping SKT get two kills. If that same exact play happened 10 times, Blank would probably die in the other nine attempts.
