The first round of the Swiss League of Legends Super League took place today. After a regular season full of surprises, it was time for the top eight teams to start competing to become the next champion. This phase consisted of four best-of-one matches, where the winners advanced and could still afford to lose a match, while the losers had to play with high stakes, as another defeat would mean elimination.
The pressure is mounting, and nerves are starting to show. One of the notable teams from today’s matches is Veni Vidi Vici. As a newly promoted team to the Super League, they were considered lucky to have made it to the playoffs without being eliminated in the regular season. However, they have been consistently impressive since the competition began, led by Miniduke, and have secured a strong third position in the table.
Veni Vidi Vici’s performance against Movistar Koi Fénix was remarkable, as they recovered from a losing position to win the match. This was largely due to the outstanding play of CPM ORNN and Miniduke’s Corki, who turned the game around. This victory puts pressure on their opponents and shows that Veni Vidi Vici is determined to fight for the title.
Another notable match was between Heretics and Barça eSports, a rematch of the summer split final. Although Barça eSports was considered one of the top teams this year, they had been performing poorly, leaving many doubts about their level. The match was intense, with Thayger making impressive plays and ORN’s early game brightness giving Barça eSports an advantage. However, Heretics managed to regain their composure and gradually closed the gap, thanks in part to a brilliant Tracyn Jax who made perfect flanking maneuvers. In the end, Heretics won the final team fight, ending Barça eSports’ hopes of winning.
