Sunday’s playoffs in the League of The Americas – or LTA for short – just got a whole lot wilder. A bizarre mistake cost one team its spot in the competition. Let’s break it down.
The Fallout
The teams, RED Canids and Vivo Keyd Stars, went head-to-head in the quarterfinals. The winner would move on to the next round, while the loser would be eliminated. The series was a best-of-five, and the stakes were high.
The first game was all about RED Canids – they dominated, taking the lead with ease. The second game seemed like more of the same, with RED up by 9,000 gold at the 26-minute mark. But then, things took a dramatic turn.
Vivo Keyd Stars made a daring call, taking down the Baron and turning the tables on their opponents. They ambushed RED’s Aegis, who was alone near the RED Buff, and snatched the objective. From there, they took down four more players and stormed the Nexus, turning the game on its head.
UNBELIEVABLE!!!
