After Rogue had to take losses for the first time in the previous week after eleven consecutive victories, everything went according to plan for the leader: in the sixth game week, the team with MAD Lions and Team Vitality defeated well-known competitors and is confirmed as a playoff participant.

"I noticed that people are happy, but we didn't really think about it. We felt like it was safe anyway, no matter what," rogue support Adrian "Trymbi" Trymus said in an interview after the game against Vitality. "But it's obviously nice to secure the win, especially after last week.»

Despite a balanced start, Vitality's "Superteam" Rogue could hardly become dangerous, with the reinforcements of the dragons and the Baron making the difference in the end. While Rogue continues to consolidate first place, Vitality continues to fall short of its own expectations: sixth place would still be enough for the playoffs, but mistakes would no longer be allowed.

Defending champion MAD Lions, on the other hand, again remained winless, with the opponents with Rogue and Misfits being two of the three best two teams in the league. With Fnatic, the third in the group lost to last place Astralis on Friday, but won the top game against G2 and shares the second place with Misfits.

SK Gaming, competing with a German trio, is level on points with MAD. After a surprising victory against G2 on Friday, the third victory in a row was achieved against BDS a day later, which means that SK continues to catch up in the table and is only just behind Vitality with one less victory.
