Let’s review the news of DAMWON KIA GAMING before the semifinal:
The Korean team reaches these semifinals with a high level of play after finishing first in the Rumble phase. With a record of 8 wins and only two losses, to reach the final stage of the MSI 2021, they had the chance to choose who they wanted to face in the semifinals, starting as absolute favorites after having defeated them a few days ago on two occasions.
How are MAD Lions heading into the semifinal game against DWG KIA?
The Spaniards reached the semifinals in the last place, after a record of five wins and the same number of defeats. It will be a great challenge for the champion team of the LEC 2021 Spring to face the giant DAMWON KIA, with whom they have not had good performances since they met this season for the first time in history. Both games ended in defeat, so they will have to rethink their game system to prevail against the Korean team.
