Competitive League of Legends Suffers in Spain, Despite Increased Presence
The Spanish League of Legends scene has experienced a decline in relevance, audiences, and overall sentiment this year. The reason for this is the increased presence of Spanish clubs, with a total of eight teams competing in the league. However, this has not translated to success, with several teams struggling to achieve positive results.
GiantX and Other Spanish Teams Face Crucial Matches
GiantX, which has already qualified for the playoffs, is joined by other Spanish teams such as Heretics, MAD Lions KOI, and others. These teams will face off in crucial matches, with Heretics and MAD Lions KOI needing to secure victories to qualify for the playoffs.
Heretics’ Options to Qualify
Heretics currently sits at 3-5, just behind Rogue and Vitality, and ahead of MAD Lions KOI. If they win their next match against G2 Esports, they will secure a spot in the playoffs. If they lose, they will still have a chance to qualify if one of their two pursuers, Rogue and Vitality, lose.
MAD Lions KOI’s Chances to Qualify
MAD Lions KOI, on the other hand, has a more complicated path to qualification. With a record of 1-6, they will need to rely on other teams losing and them winning their remaining matches. They can only reach the playoffs with a victory, and a defeat would eliminate them directly.
Spanish Teams Face Tough Road Ahead
The Spanish teams will need to overcome tough opponents and complex scenarios to qualify for the playoffs and ultimately, the World Championships. While there is still hope for some teams, the road ahead will be challenging.
