The World Championship (hereinafter referred to as Worlds), which determines the world’s best League of Legends (LoL) e-sports team, opened its doors on the 25th with the Play-In Stage held in Berlin, Germany.

A total of eight teams will compete in the Play-In, which is like a preliminary round, and half of the teams, four teams, will advance to the Swiss Stage.

In the Play-In, the LEC (League for Europe, Middle East and Africa) and LCS (League for North America), which are considered major leagues, were expected to have the upper hand.

However, nothing is taken for granted in the world of competition. 슬롯사이트

On the 26th, Movistar Rainbow 7 (hereinafter referred to as R7) of the Latin American League (LLA) caused a sensation by defeating 100 Thieves, the third seed of the North American League, with a set score of 2 to 1.

With this win, R7 recorded its first match win in an international competition among LLA teams.

100 Thieves, who were hit by the spicy South American flavor, are in danger of elimination.

If they lose today (28th) in the losers’ bracket match against Fukuoka Softbank Hawks Gaming (SHG) of the Japanese league LJL, their journey to the Worlds will be halted.

Even if they win, they will have to face PSG Talon, who they lost to in the winners’ bracket match of Group A on the 29th.

They were expected to advance to the Swiss stage without any problems, avoiding strong teams such as Mad Lions Koi (MDK), a LEC team, and PSG Talon of the Pacific Rim League (PCS), but they have been pushed into a corner.

100 Thieves is a familiar team in Korea, nicknamed ‘100 Thieves’.

In the first season of the LoL team’s creation in 2018, they won first place and second place in the LCS regular season and successfully advanced to Worlds.

Three years later, in 2021, Korean coach ‘Rapherd’ Bok Han-gyu took over and lifted the first championship trophy in the summer season and advanced to Worlds as the 1st seed in North America.
