Misfits Bounce Back with a Victory Against Excel
Misfits, who had a strong start in the LEC Summer Split, faced a setback last week with two consecutive losses. However, they turned things around today with a much-needed win against Excel. This victory brings them to a tie with Fnatic and Rogue at eight wins. If both of those teams lose later today, Misfits could potentially climb back to the top of the league.
Strong Performances from Misfits’ Solo Laners
During today’s game, Misfits’ solo laners, Vetheo and Hirit, delivered impressive performances. Their solid gameplay helped Misfits establish a lead in the mid game and stay competitive throughout the contest. Despite Excel’s attempt at a comeback and even taking the gold lead at one point, Misfits remained resilient. By the 35-minute mark, Misfits were knocking on Excel’s door, and just four minutes later, they destroyed the Nexus.
Vetheo Shines on Zoe
Vetheo, in particular, played exceptionally well on Zoe, finishing the match with a scoreline of 6/0/6 and a single-game KDA of 12.0. His poking capabilities around neutral objectives made him a significant threat in the later stages of the game. Misfits also did an excellent job of limiting Excel to only one neutral objective past the 16-minute mark.
Excel’s Struggles Continue
Excel is now on a three-game losing streak and is fading away from the LEC playoff race. While they had an inspiring 2-0 weekend a couple of weeks ago, they have since struggled to maintain momentum. Currently sitting in eighth place, Excel is at risk of falling into last place. The organization has never qualified for the LEC playoffs in its history.
If Schalke 04 and SK Gaming secure wins this weekend, Excel’s position in the standings will further decline. Misfits and Excel will face these teams in their respective matchups to close out the week, with Misfits taking on Schalke and Excel against SK.
