MAD Lions remains in the race for the playoffs of the European League of Legends League LEC. The defending champion broke his losing streak and defeated Team Vitality with a dominant performance.

"We played without expectations. That helped us a lot," Javier "Elyoya" Prades Batalla of MAD said in an interview after the game. "Today was a good game. We have proven that we can do much more than we have shown in recent weeks.»

MAD was on the verge of making the playoffs after six consecutive losses. Another defeat would mean the end. Against Vitality, the defending champion then called off an impeccable performance and confidently picked up the necessary victory.

Excel Esports, on the other hand, lacked only one victory to qualify for the knockout round for the first time in the history of the organization. But G2 Esports made Excel a stroke through the bill and denied the team entry into the playoffs for the time being.

The surprise of the day was achieved by SK Gaming: the team played strongly against league leader Rogue, thereby intensifying the fight for the remaining positions for the playoffs.
