Amazing performance by EDG in the second day of Play-In Stage at League of Legends Worlds 2018
There was a huge performance by some teams during the second day of Play-In Stage in League of Legends Worlds 2018, and especially with EDG performance for this day.
EDG claimed two wins with the second day of Play-In Stage to be the best team at the end of this day. Last year, Cloud9 had to fight their way through play-ins, too, and they actually crushed the stage altogether, but EU’s G2 are used to competing directly in the group stage.
Teams standings:
Group A
- EDG: 2-0
- Dire Wolves: 1-1
- Infinity: 0-2
Group B
- SuperMassive: 1-0
- G2: 0-1
- Ascension: 0-0
Group C
- Cloud9: 2-0
- DetonatioN: 1-1
- KaBuM: 0-2
Group D
- G-Rex: 2-0
- Gambit: 1-1
- KLG: 0-2
The second day of Play-In Stage:
EDG vs. Infinity
It’s hard to watch that clip and not know why EDG won their game against Infinity on day two. LeBlanc earned herself an obscene lead before any sort of team comp came into play, and by the time Infinity would have been able to protect Varus with the Shen-Lulu combo in the mid game, the LeBlanc was already one-shotting him. Infinity was out-drafted, out-warded, and out-ganked. EDG was in another league, and the fact that they won the game with a 20,000 gold lead is just proof of that.
G2 vs. SuperMassive
The first major upset of the tournament went to Turkey’s SuperMassive after a completely devastating and demoralizing win over EU’s G2 Esports. G2’s Olaf ran the map early on and forced SUP into a highly reactive and slow style, but G2’s mid and bot lane failed to capitalize on it at all. And by the time G2 lost this game.
Infinity vs. Dire Wolves
Dire Wolves have their player of the game to thank for their victory over Infinity today. The Azir mid lane was the long-range damage that they needed to make big picks around the mid-game despite being at a significant gold deficit. Dire Wolves were mostly the underdog in this match-up, as they’re missing their star jungler, but Infinity’s tendency to tilt when not dominating under pressure got the better of them.
EDG vs. Dire Wolves
Dire Wolves managed to put up a bit of a fight against EDG for both teams’ last game of the day, but in the end, EDG proved that they were still the best team. This was still a great sign for Dire Wolves who were largely just written off as being the clear worst team in this match-up. For most of the game, both teams traded blows and the score remained largely even. After a forced fight and a secured Baron, though, EDG easily closed out the game using the first Darius of the tournament
