League of Legends

After an intense month of back-to-back League of Legends matches between the best teams in the world, the 2022 World Championship is ready for its final stage. This past weekend, the Worlds semifinals prepared the stage for what could be the most historic final in the history of the game. 

Many considered this to be the true final, with the champions of the undisputed best region in the world, JDG, facing T1, who looked the fittest team in the tournament coming into the series, after another first place finish in the group stage and a massacre of the reigning MSI champions, Royal Never Give up, in the quarterfinals.

The last game day of the 2022 League of Legends World Championship quarterfinals showed us that no team is safe from elimination this time around.

The Worlds 2022 Quarter Finals are over and we have a very exciting round of semifinals coming our way. Despite all the odds against them, DRX managed the incredible feat of beating the current World Champions EDward Gaming, reverse sweeping them in the best series at Worlds so far. Gen.G is on a trajectory to win Worlds without facing any foreign opponent in a bo5 series, and JDG is the sole non Korean team in the semifinals.

More than likely we are heading into the biggest western League of Legends roster shuffle to date. After a horrid post-season for both the LCS and LEC, plenty of teams are likely rebuilding their rosters from scratch. To make things even worse, the best the west had to offer did not come even close to contesting the LCK and LPL at Worlds ’22 while being relatively dominant domestically. We already have hints of some big roster moves coming our way, and more to come post Worlds.

In the closest series we have seen thus far, LCK reigning champions Gen.G barely survived the onslaught and almost reverse sweep created by DWG KIA.

Now that the first stage of the League of Legends World Championship is over, it’s time for the qualified teams to put it all on the line. The top 8 teams will battle in a single elimination bracket to determine the 2022 World Champions: T1, JDG, DRX, Gen.G, Edward Gaming, DWG KIA, Rogue and Royal Never Give Up have formed one of the most stacked brackets in League history.

Right after the end of Group D, the qualified teams were drawn: T1, JDG, DRX and Gen.G were the number one seeds from their respective groups, while Edward Gaming, DWG KIA, Rogue, and Royal Never Give Up finished second. The top 8 teams will have to fight in a single-elimination, king of the hill format, in best-of-five series to become the World Champions.

Day 5 of Worlds 2022 started with three teams of Group A tied 2-1 in first place. The LPL team and defending world champions EDward Gaming, the LEC third seed Fnatic and the LCK’s second seed T1 had to put in everything in order to prevail, as one of them was certain to go home after the six matches.

Out of all regional winners JDG seems to be the strongest, JD Gaming have looked like a well oiled machine in a group that offers quite a lot of possible tough games. After ending Week 1 of the group stage with an undefeated 3-0 score line, JDG looked like nothing changed after the small break, coming with dominance once more after beating Evil Geniuses, G2 Esports, and DWG Kia in a tiebreaker.

The dream of a miracle run was at some point alive for NA LCS fans. After a dominant showing against G2 Esports, Evil Geniuses showed promise starting Week 2 of the League of Legends World Championship. Similar to other North American representatives, EG grabbed 0 wins during the first week of the group stage with tough defeats against G2, JD Gaming, and DWG KIA. However there was a little voice inside NA fans’ minds, as during those Week 1 games EG were able to match the early game against these juggernauts squads.

The 2022 League of Legends World Championship has just finished the first round robin of the group stage. We saw a lot of action in these first three days and while some things went as we expected, there was also a lot of stuff that threw fans completely off. Based on what we have seen so far, how will the rest of the group stage shape up? Will things go similarly to what we saw in the first round robin?

Søren “Bjergsen” Bjerg, Team Liquid’s iconic mid laner, is rumored to be leaving the organization after just one year. Apparently, Bjergsen is not limited to the LCS, but is also considering offers from the LEC.

It’s time to check out one of the most dangerous groups of the 2022 League of Legends World Championship, Group B. With the LPL Champions JDG in the group, how will the other teams behave against the big favorites of the tournament? Let’s break the entire group down and set our expectations.

After the first 2 days of the competition, LEC fans have been extremely happy after the region’s organizations won all but one of their games through the group stage at the 2022 World Championship.

The pressure to win applies to every single win in the League of Legends World Championship. Teams only get six games to stack up victories in the group stage, so if you fall behind early, the quicker winning becomes absolutely mandatory.

North American League of Legends fans woke up to a harsh reality on day 2 of the League of Legends World Championship. Things are getting a little tough for LCS fans, as G2 Esports followed Europe’s dominance over North America with a quick victory over the LCS Spring champions, Evil Geniuses.

Rogue started the second day of the 2022 League of Legends World Championship group stage with a dominant victory against LCK’s DRX. In their first international stage match as official LEC champions, Rogue highlighted their best performance against Korea’s fourth seed.

The LEC is known for one thing and one thing only, their fighting spirit to defy any and all expectations or predictions in the biggest stage of League of Legends. Fnatic followed this principle on the second day of the group stage at the 2022 League of Legends World Championship, showing incredible synergy against one of the favorites to win the coveted Summoners’ Cup, T1.
