ROX Tigers kicks G2 Esports out of the Worlds Championship
It’s getting serious over at the League World Championship it seems, as we’re beginning to see eliminations with the group stage drawing to an end. G2 Esports had its dreams crushed by ROX Tigers late evening, as the sole chance of surviving was no more.
G2 sits at 0-4, while ROX moves to 3-1. Some moves and trades kept G2 competitive in the match until ROX’s three-man push in the bottom lane around 15:30 devastated them. Tigers grabbed a few kills and towers while jumping to a 2.5k gold lead. Immediately following, ROX started setting up vision in G2’s jungle, leading to more kills and pressure.
G2 tried to come back to the game multiple times, but ROX always found a way to trade or come out on top. At one point, after taking Baron, ROX was down two players and outnumbered. But ROX’s players were still able to push off a healthy G2 Esports team. The Nexus, and the No.1 seed from Europe, fell at 35:19.
We can’t wait to see what else upcoming matches will bring, as it’s proving so far that Worlds 2016 is where Europeans fall. Will it be the case for the rest of the teams and championship will be still with the Asians for another year?
