Knockout Stage Set at 2020 League of Legends World Championship
The Group A stage of the 2020 League of Legends World Championship has concluded, with Suning Gaming and G2 Esports emerging as the top two teams to advance.
Fans and analysts predicted that Suning and G2 would emerge from Group A, but the journey was filled with unexpected twists and turns.
Team Liquid’s Disappointing Run
Team Liquid’s run at Worlds 2020 ended in disappointment. Their bad drafts and loss against Machi Esports cost them a spot in the knockout stage. They were the only team to lose against Machi and missed out on a tiebreaker against Suning by one match.
Tactical, a Team Liquid player, acknowledged their mistakes, saying they came into the group stage with the wrong mindset.
The finish is a hard pill to swallow for Team Liquid, but it will serve as motivation for improvement in the future.
Suning Gaming: The Underrated Contenders
Suning Gaming, the third seed from China, proved themselves as strong contenders for the Summoner’s Cup. Their star players, SofM and Bin, showcased their skills and entertained fans worldwide.
G2 Esports’ Bumpy Ride
G2 Esports, the kings of Europe, made it to the knockout stage as expected. However, their performance in Group A was not as dominant as anticipated, losing twice to Suning. Despite this, G2 has a history of leveling up in crucial moments.
The second-place finish in Group A means that G2 may face tough opponents like Top Esports and Damwon Gaming in the next round.
The quarterfinals of Worlds 2020 begin on Thursday, Oct. 15. Stay tuned for all the action!
