MAD Lions throw one other early recreation lead in opposition to Misfits and drop to 4-3. Astralis couldn’t get it performed versus Vitality with their greatest champions.
Workforce Vitality vs Astralis
I had this recreation chalked up as a possible banger upset given how underrated Astralis appear to be and the way trash Vitality is.
Whereas it didn’t fairly come to cross as I had theorized, it doesn’t take a League genius to determine that this recreation was a gradual, relatively painful fiesta from two mid-table groups.
Whereas being mid-table is a profession achievement for nearly all the Astralis lineup, it’s positively not the case with Vitality.
The superteam appears anemic in its method, missing fundamental coordination round topside performs. Alphari’s largest, and fairly frankly solely, power is his laning section and the crew’s coordination construction ought to help his aggressive playstyle.
Truthfully, it was fairly disappointing to see Astralis lose this recreation with lots of their key picks: Dajor’s Vex was his go-to final break up, Kobbe’s Xayah is his most well-known decide and JeongHoon is beginning to appear to be a child Hylissang on the Rakan.
I was excited for this roster given their early run of form, but when they’ll’t even beat a discombobulated Vitality with their greatest champions, they may simply cap out at seventh place this yr.

MAD Lions vs Misfits
The primary time MAD Lions threw a giant gold lead, all of us chalked it as much as Comp’s fortunate Elder Dragon steal. Honest sufficient.
Nevertheless, the same pattern appears to be brewing for the Lions as they as soon as once more throw one other result in Misfits, this time in fairly thrilling style.
MAD Lions began the sport off thick and quick owing to Nisqy’s sick proactivity, establishing picks for UNF0RGIVEN to knock down, and the sport appeared over for Misfits.
Nevertheless, Shaltan had a stormer of a recreation on his signature Lee Sin decide, pulling off dazzling performs to punish MAD’s small errors and preserve his crew afloat.
Mersa’s Renata ultimates have been additionally an enormous issue within the newest Misfits comeback, as these tight corridors mainly assured the last word hitting all 5 Lions, rendering them helpless in opposition to the rabbits’ onslaught.
