Rogue has prevailed in the top game of the European League of Legends league LEC against league leaders MAD Lions. This further intensifies the battle for places in the playoffs, the teams are also moving closer together behind it.

"I think our potential is much greater than what we have shown so far," said Markos "Comp" Stamkopoulos of Rogue in the post-match interview. "But I'm very happy with how things are developing. And I think we will be prepared for the playoffs, because that's what matters in the end.»

Rogue came into the match with three defeats in a row against the leader of the table. But the team around Comp was in control from the beginning and played the lead confidently to the end. MAD is still at the top of the table, but it is getting tighter and tighter behind it.

LEC: Race for the playoffs is getting more and more competitive

Rogue shares second place with Team Vitality, which has pushed itself into the top group in recent weeks. The team around Luka "Perkz" Perković overran the team BDS, which had been winless for nine games, in just 24 minutes and thus further strengthened its favorite role.

Misfits Gaming also won an important game against Astralis in the race for the playoffs. For Misfits, who will no longer compete in the LEC next year because the organization has sold the LEC seat, the playoffs are getting closer and closer.

An equally important victory was achieved by Fnatic against SK Gaming. The team finished the game with a huge gold lead after only 25 minutes. Thanks to the victory of G2 Esports, Fnatic now shares sixth place with Excel Esports and thus moves closer to the midfield, but still has to worry about getting into the playoffs.
