The race for the playoffs in the European League of Legends League LEC is coming to a head: after a winless sixth week, two favorites, Team Vitality and MAD Lions, already have to worry.

"Mathematically, we don't need to discuss the fact that it is," MADs coach James "Mac" MacCormack said in an interview after the game about the endangered playoff entry. "I have to take some of the responsibility for the ups and downs on myself. We are not constant enough.»

After defeats the day before, things didn't go any better on Saturday for the two teams that are actually aiming for the title. MAD lost to the clear outsider SK Gaming, who was only able to take the third victory of the season. Vitality had no chance against the runner-up Fnatic.

The leader of the standings Rogue had already suffered the first defeat on Friday against the last Astralis after nine consecutive victories, now the next one followed against Misfits. A fight for the dragon soul also made the difference in the end. With the second victory of the week, Misfits advances to fourth place.
