Picks & Bans

The 2020 Mid-Season Cup (MSC 2020) is an international event, part of the 2020 Mid-Season Streamathon replacing MSI 2020. Similar to Rift Rivals of previous years, the top four teams from both China and Korea participate. However, unlike Rift Rivals, teams compete individually rather than as part of their regional collective.
