In the first round of Group D of the 2021 World Series of League of Legends, GEN and LNG had two wins and one defeat, and MAD and TL had one victory and two defeats. In the second round of the tournament that began last night, the European and American divisions showed their aura, and TL defeated one after another. LNG, GEN, and MAD won the hands of TL and LNG. As for GEN and LNG, they only won one victory in the second round, which made the second round of the event finished. The first time in the history of the group stage, all four teams were 3 wins and 3 losses.

The first four-party playoff in the history of the World Series was held at the scene immediately, with GEN playing TL and MAD playing LNG respectively. In the first game of TL and GEN, you come and go. Although GEN once faced TL successfully stealing Barong and other interference, it still managed to break through the opponent’s main castle and win the qualification. Later, LNG faced MAD. LNG got a 3:0 advantage in the start. The economy maintained a slight lead in the early stage, but the MAD economy was always tight. MAD succeeded in eating the ancient dragon in 40 minutes and turned around to eat the baron without any damage. LNG wanted to do it all. The way to launch an offensive approach to the opponent’s high ground, MAD defended the wave of LNG’s fierce offensive in front of the front tower and successfully counterattacked. In the end, MAD broke through the opponent’s main fort in 46 minutes and successfully advanced.
