Match of the Day
Cloud9 vs Royal Never Give Up takes the cake for the most suspenseful game of the day. Many people have written off RNG as the frontrunner for MSI, and the beginning of this match looked to mimic the sentiment. RNG stacked dragons, pushed gold leads, secured Baron and was in control of the game until C9 seemingly out of nowhere executed a flawless teamfight, breathing life back into the NA hopefuls. The match ended with a high stakes trade that wondering fans will absolutely have to watch and will keep you on the edge of your seat!
Honorable mention has to go to Pentanet GG vs PSG Talon, but for the extreme opposite reason. While C9 vs RNG was a slugfest that ended extremely closely, PGG vs PSG was a dominating slaughter of PGG. Should fans desire an absolute masterclass display of League of Legends, this match is worth the watch.
