Major issues in the Taiwan game industry in May MSI, which has surpassed 2.19 million viewers, computex 2022 held on-site in 2 years

The main concern of Taiwanese gamers in May was the League of Legends International War, MSI 2022. The MSI, which is held between spring and summer, is a hot topic among e-sports users every year in April-May, and especially PSG Talon, which was a representative from Taiwan's PCS, advanced to the semifinals in 2021 last year. I have uploaded it.

This year, MSI was conducted in Busan, and PSG Talon was a PCS representative this year and won a good victory over the strong teams such as the G2 on the rumble stage. However, at the end of the Vietnam League, he was frustrated by Buffalo, LCS representative Evil Genius, and LPL representative RNG. RNG, who played online in the aftermath of the Shanghai blockade, won 3: 1 in the T1 and MSI 2022 finals, winning three MSIs.

According to the e-sports chart e-sports viewer survey site, the number of viewers in the finals is 2.19 million, excluding the Chinese streaming site. The average number of viewers of 2022 MSI was 580,000.

Meanwhile, the interest of the industry was focused on the computex 2022, which was offline in two years. Compute Tex 2022 is the largest ICT fair in Asia, held at the Taipei Nan River Exhibition every year, and new technologies, including CES, are presented every year. This year, two agendas, 'Digital Conversion' and ESG Carbon emissions, were held, and the exhibition was held offline from May 24 to 27, while the exhibition was held until June 6th. This year, Computex 2022 has 400 booths in 1,000 booths, and visitors visited 69 countries including Korea.

Along with the Compute Tex 2022, major companies and industry leaders attended the CEO Keynote and Technology Conference, where new products and new technologies were presented.
