Saturday in the League of Legends League LEC was the day of the outsiders. The teams MAD Lions, Team Vitality, Rogue and Excel placed further ahead in the table all lost their games against less successful opponents on paper.

"I don't feel like anything was different. Despite our results, we are in a good mood," said BDS toplaner Tobiasz "Agresivoo" Ciba, who beat Excel with his team. "We have the mentality to at least make it more difficult for other teams. Although we can't make it to the playoffs anymore, we can at least make it fun for us and the spectators.»

BDS had only managed one win before, the second would have been a surprise against any team. For Excel, the fourth defeat in a row is a setback in the fight for playoff qualification, Vitality and Rogue also suffered with losses against Astralis and SK respectively.

Misfits scored an important victory against leader MAD Lions and moved up to second place, which the team shares with Rogue, Vitality and G2. MAD Lions, however, is further ahead, as the competition could not take advantage of the error.

Only the last match of the day fell out of line, as G2 Esports easily prevailed over Fnatic in the classic. The defending champion continues to move up to the top after the mistakes of the competition, while Fnatic is on the last playoff spot with Astralis and Excel before the last week of the game.
