When JDG and DWG KIA first played last 메이저사이트 weekend, their match-up immediately earned the “instant classic” distinction. The 36-minute back-and-forth thriller in week one was one of, if not the, best games of Worlds thus far. So with their past pedigree in mind, it’s only reasonable that these two teams needed an extra tiebreaker game to settle who came out on top of Group B at Worlds.
After DWG KIA won the final scheduled game of the day to 메이저토토사이트 force the tiebreaker, JDG quickly followed up by winning the winner-take-all game to close out the group. DWG KIA’s perfect 4-0 day was denied and JDG was allowed to exhale, clinching first place in Group B despite the slip-up.
In their initial meeting on Oct. 8, it was JDG ADC Hope who put the team on his back, posting a dominant scoreline of 9/0/7 against DAMWON. Today, Hope didn’t get his first kill until the 24-minute mark of the first game, as DWG KIA kept him 메이저놀이터추천 in check in order to ultimately force a tiebreaker.
In the tiebreaker game, though, Hope didn’t have to put JDG on his back, as top laner 369 shouldered the weight of his squad. With his team against the wall, 369 went 10/1/11 on Aatrox, the tournament’s most-contested pick, thrusting JDG into the quarterfinals on top of their group 토토사이트추천
Had JDG won all six of their group stage games, they would have made history by becoming the first Chinese team to ever go undefeated in the Worlds group stage. No team from the LPL has ever had a perfect group stage run, but Royal Never Give Up currently sit with a record of 3-0 heading into the second round robin of this year’s tournament. They’ll have their chance to finish a perfect run when they play all three of their remaining games on Sunday, Oct. 16.
The quarterfinal draw will be revealed immediately following Sunday’s games.
‘I think I performed, quite frankly, terribly’: FBI talks 100 Thieves’ Worlds 2022 performance so far

After Cloud9 and Evil Geniuses were eliminated from the 2022 League of Legends World Championship earlier this week, 100 Thieves will have to take up the mantle of “North America’s last hope,” a moniker that gets bounced around between LCS teams each season, and falls onto the shoulders of 100T in just their third appearance at the tournament all-time.
The only caveat in regard to 100T’s chances 메이저놀이터 of going deep at Worlds is that the team has placed itself into an 0-3 hole after failing to win a single game in the first week of the group stage. To advance to the quarterfinal round, 100T will need to win all three of their remaining group stage games, plus get a little help 메이저놀이터추천 from the other teams in their group along the way. Even if they go undefeated to close out their run, there’s still a chance that 100T get eliminated from the tournament without the chance to play a tiebreaker game.
Following the team’s winless performance in week one, 100T AD carry Victor “FBI” Huang spoke to Dot Esports about his team’s preparation for the second week of the group stage, and why 100T failed to find any success against the other three members of Group D: Gen.G, Royal Never Give Up, and CTBC Flying Oyster.
“I think the main thing is, on a team level, the eastern 안전놀이터 teams are much more coordinated and they have a very good understanding of how to play the game throughout the mid and late game,” FBI told Dot Esports. “For our personal record, the first two games came down to my own performance. I think I performed, quite frankly, terribly, and that really kinda sucks.”
For FBI, the World Championship has been a particular point of struggle. He’s yet to have a gold lead at the 15-minute mark in 100 Thieves’ three games, and his 1.4 KDA is the second-lowest among all AD carries at the group stage, according to League stats site Games of Legends.
On average, FBI has faced a CS deficit of 23 across his team’s three losses, marking the apex of his early-game struggles thus far at Worlds. At last year’s tournament, he had positive marks in average gold, CS, and XP differentials at 15 minutes, while not having an above-board number in any of those categories this season.
“This year, on an individual level, I’ve performed much worse compared to last year,” FBI said. “I’m a bit sorry to my teammates because they’ve been playing really well. Hopefully in the next week we can bring back that 3-3 record that we had last year, and I’m really looking to work on my own performance.”
100 Thieves is attending its second straight World Championship with the exact same starting lineup. Last year, the team went 1-2 in the first week of the group stage.
Eventually, the team scraped together a .500 record in group play last year, but it wasn’t enough to climb past an ultimately top-heavy group that included two top-four finishers in T1 and Edward Gaming, the latter of which went on to win the 2021 tournament altogether.
What’s perhaps most interesting about 100T’s three games at this year’s Worlds has been the minute marker that they’ve seen their chances at winning dwindle. In all three of their contests, 100 Thieves were within 3,000 gold of their opponents at the 23-minute mark, but were outplayed in late-game teamfights in each of them.

100 Thieves is attending its second straight World Championship with the exact same starting lineup. Last year, the team went 1-2 in the first week of the group stage.
Eventually, the team scraped together a .500 record in group play last year, but it wasn’t enough to climb past an ultimately top-heavy group that included two top-four finishers in T1 and Edward Gaming, the latter of which went on to win the 2021 tournament altogether.

Despite keeping things close against all three of their opponents in week one, 100 Thieves saw the opposing team’s gold lead balloon and their own Nexus fall within mere minutes of having a chance at actually winning.
“What matters in the late-game is decisiveness,” FBI said. “In terms of teamfighting, being apprehensive in a teamfight or mispositioning [for] a single second can really cost you a fight, and I feel like North American teams tend to make more mistakes when it comes to crucial teamfighting. That’s the main thing we can improve on. We’ve been really focused on working on our teamfighting.”
Beyond a skill gap in teamfights, FBI also complimented eastern teams like Gen.G and RNG on their ability to transition their leads in individual lanes across Summoner’s Rift and “snowball in a way where they choke you out of being able to make any plays 메이저토토
That subtle suffocation by their eastern opponents has been a key factor in why 100T can’t seem to pull the trigger in the late-game. In those teamfights that are costing them victories, it’s seemingly always their opponents who are engaging, and eventually, winning those fights.
But even past their late-game micro-play, 100T (and FBI himself) have some early-game issues to improve upon. The team ranks 10th among all group stage teams in GD@15, while sitting dead last in Mid/Late Rating, according to League stats site Oracle’s Elixir.
100 Thieves will have a chance to rebound and take a stab at NA’s third shot at a perfect “miracle run” in the second round robin when Group D plays all of its remaining games on Sunday, Oct. 16.
Report: LCS games could move to weekdays in 2023
The LCS is looking to move its match days out of a weekend slot in 2023, according to a report from Alejandro Gomis of Blix.gg. Next 토토사이트추천 season, the LCS could potentially move its games to Wednesday and Thursday evenings, according to the report.
The LCS has traditionally played all of its games on weekends since its inception in 2013, with occasional shifts to Monday and Friday nights throughout its history. While regular Thursday night games would be 안전놀이터추천 uncharted territory for the league, the LCS has hosted playoff games on Thursday nights.
A potential change to a weekday schedule has been 토토사이트 communicated to LCS teams, according to the report, although nothing is internally official as of yet.
Next year, VALORANT franchised leagues will begin play, with the league for the Americas region likely holding its games on the weekend. A schedule featuring VALORANT on weekends and League on weekdays would prevent conflicts or overlap for Riot’s two most prominent totals 안전놀이터
It is unclear at this time if this change in match days will come alongside a change to the LCS’ format. No changes to the schedules or formats or international leagues such as the LEC, LPL, or LCK were revealed in the report, either.
The 2023 LCS is expected to begin in January if recent history is used as any parameter.
A one-time LCS MVP is looking to make a comeback in 2023
After taking a year-long break from competitive League of Legends play, veteran LCS jungler Svenskeren will be attempting a return to stage play in 2023.
The 26-year-old posted a looking-for-team 메이저토토사이트 announcement on his social media, saying that he took a break for the first time in his eight-year career to spend time with his friends and family. On the side, however, Svenskeren 메이저사이트 was also helping out his old organization, Cloud9, as a coach for the LCS team.
The last time Svenskeren was seen on the LCS stage was in 2021, when he was the starting jungler for Evil Geniuses. When the organization returned to the league in 2020, the Danish pro was picked up alongside a handful of well-known players like former T1 AD carry Bang, Italian mid laner Jiizuke, and former C9 support Zeyzal. Expectations were relatively high due to the team’s high amount of experience in both LCS and international play 토토사이트추천
Svenskeren was never able to break into the league’s upper echelon during his time with EG after the 2020 Spring Split. After an early exit from the 2021 LCS Championship at the hands of C9, the team replaced him with European superstar Inspired. It was a tough road for one of the LCS’ mainstay players, but after stepping away from the scene for a year, he is ready to make his triumphant return.
He will be hunting for a starting position 메이저토토 throughout the upcoming offseason, although he will most likely stay in North America due to his status as a resident of the region. It is unlikely that any other international team in a top league—like the LEC—will import Svenskeren, but he should still be a big name that could be on the move soon.

The play-in stage of the 2022 League of Legends World Championship 메이저놀이터 has ended and four of the five major region representatives (all except Europe’s MAD Lions) made it out of the multiple-day gauntlet in Mexico City. Korea’s DRX, China’s Royal Never Give Up, Europe’s Fnatic, and North America’s Evil Geniuses 토토사이트 all join the other 12 previously-qualified representatives for the Worlds 2022 group stage at the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City, kicking off at 4pm CT on Thursday, Oct. 7.
Another storyline to watch is purely on the Rift. The 토토사이트추천 meta has solidified to a degree, with one or two carry junglers peeking in, and Maokai and Aatrox cementing themselves as flex and power picks of the play-ins, respectively. But minor region teams, in an effort to punch above their weight against superior opposition, will throw out off-meta picks like, perhaps most notoriously, Zac mid or Teemo and Zilean top as answers to Aatrox, played by Saigon Buffalo and Isurus Gaming, respectively. Look for teams with, say, a former world champion like DWG KIA’s Canyon who won the 2020 title on carry junglers to surprise some people, or top laners like JD Gaming’s 369 and G2 Esports’ Broken Blade to further innovate what could be the tournament’s most pivotal role as the tournament progresses.
Here are the scores, group standings, match start times, and more for the 2022 League of Legends World Championship group stage.

If you’ve watched any international League of Legends, especially Worlds, then this format will be intimately familiar to you. The group stage consists of four groups of four teams in each, with no two teams from the same region or pool able to be drawn together. Each team will play the other three twice—once on blue side and once on red side—over the course of two weekends in New York City 메이저토토
Afterward, the two teams with the best records from each group will be drawn into a single-elimination, best-of-five knockout bracket, with group winners facing second-place teams, and no two teams from the same group being placed on the same side of the bracket.
