After a win against G2 Esports, Rogue enters the second round of the European League of Legends League LEC undefeated. As a result, the leader of the table also further expands the distance to the pursuers.
"It was a pretty one-sided game - probably the best game of the season from us," Rogue's Emil "Larssen" Larsson said in an interview after the game. "I'm glad that we were able to show that we are a strong contender for the playoffs. Especially against a strong team like G2.»
Before that, Rogue had never won against G2 in the regular season. This changed on the ninth matchday of the LEC spring season: from the very beginning, Rogue played dominantly and punished every mistake of the Berlin team. The lead grew rapidly, after only 25 minutes Rogue closed the game to the perfect first half of the season.
Vitality only in the midfield - Fnatic patzt
Team Vitality has worked their way into the midfield over the last two weeks, but they are not yet living up to their previous expectations. Vitality had a very hard time against a previously winless Astralis, but just dragged himself across the finish line. The team is now in fourth place in the table with Misfits Gaming and MAD Lions.
After a convincing game against MAD the day before, Fnatic went into the match against Excel Esports as the clear favorite. Also, Fnatic had never lost to Excel in the regular season.
But the British team led by newcomer Mihael "Mikyx" Mehle overran Fnatic and thus not only broke the previous losing streak but also gets the chances of the playoffs. Together with G2, Fnatic thus remains behind leader Rogue.
