Finally, the premier League of Legends event of Worlds 2020 is kicking off. Indeed, running from the 25-30th September, the Play-In will lead up to the event and conclude the four seeds left. Here at esportsguide, we’ll be providing a breakdown of each day – here’s the Worlds 2020 Play-In Day 1 Recap!
The first day got the ball rolling for the Group Stage of the competition. Accordingly, thrown into two groups of five based on seeding, a single round-robin with high stakes BO1 matches will take place. A reminder here that topping the group lands an instant qualification for the Main Event, while 2-4th will need to fight harder.
Here’s what the schedule looked for Day 1 and respective results:
- MAD Lions vs INTZ (1-0)
- PSG Talon vs R7 (1-0)
- Legacy Esports vs INTZ (1-0)
- LGD Gaming vs PSG Talon (0-1)
- Team Liquid vs MAD Lions (1-0)
Bearing those results in mind, here are the groups as they currently stand:
Some great games and results here. Indeed, PSG Talon are definitely in the market for a first place finish as they take down both LGD Gaming and Rainbow7. Meanwhile in Group A, things are a whole lot more contested.
In fact, the highlight of the day, was the awaited match up between Team Liquid and MAD Lions, representing the regions of the LEC and LCS. Team Liquid managed to walk away with that one.
Day 2 looks to be packed with even more action and we’ll be offering a recap for each day of the competition. Our Worlds 2020 Play–In Day 2 recap will be live tomorrow.
