Rogue take down MAD Lions and punch their ticket to Worlds in a forwards and backwards banger that goes the gap, that includes popoffs from each solo laners Larssen and Odoamne!
Sport 1
What a banger to begin off the sequence as Rogue versus MAD goes right down to the wire in Sport 1, with MAD Lions pulling out the win with some excellent teamfighting out of Nisqy and UNF0RGIVEN.
Each Malrang and Elyoya traded kills within the early recreation, however MAD Lions established a definitive lead all all through the Herald and Dragon fights, outplaying Rogue in important skirmishes to get themselves a lead that resulted in Hextech Soul.
Malrang was capable of finding a key sprint + flash combo onto Lucian along with his Jarvan at a Baron struggle that put Rogue again within the recreation, giving Comp’s Zeri three free kills and stopping MAD from closing the sport out.
Nonetheless, their win was quick lived as even with Elder Dragon, Rogue weren’t capable of finding a decisive struggle to clinch the sport, as Armut discovered decisive sprint knockups on Ornn to select off Comp and shut the sport out in favor of MAD in recreation 1.

Sport 2
It is going to be fascinating to see how the highest lane meta develops for Armut within the coming video games, as a result of he was merely terrible on the Kennen in Sport 2, going 0/6 as Comp leads Rogue again to tie the sequence 1-1.
MAD banned the Ornn out themselves to precedence decide the Lucian, however Comp was on his recreation this time round and was capable of kill off Lucian within the early phases along with his Sivir.
Whereas many of the teamfights got here right down to the wire, with Sivir’s superior teamfighting and Armut being unable to seek out good ultimates, MAD Lions slowly misplaced them out increasingly of those fights.
Armut on tanks appear to be the very best wager for the MAD Lions, because the Turkish high laner has been a legal responsibility all break up on carries.

Sport 3
Comp’s unwillingness to play Lucian got here again to chew Rogue within the behind as UNF0RGIVEN virtually flame horizons the Rogue ADC along with his precedence Kalista decide.
The Kalista was unleashed thick and quick into the sport as Comp’s Jhin was unable to seek out any kind of considerable lane strain, taking place ~50 cs within the mid recreation owing to the quick acceleration of the MAD Lions.
With Nisqy main the cost on Sylas, MAD Lions had been capable of totally make the most of the ADC diff on this recreation and use UNF0RGIVEN to win out in these teamfights since Rogue had been severely missing in harm.
Comp might want to decide up the Lucian if MAD make investments each Zeri and Sivir bans as they did in Sport 3, in any other case take Kalista for themselves.

Sport 4
Rogue reply again in and power the Sport 5 after an entire annihilation of the MAD Lions right here in Sport 4!
Comp solutions again the questions from final recreation with the Lucian precedence and has himself a stormer of a recreation on Lucian.
Though UNF0RGIVEN received forward within the early recreation once more on his Kalista, Odoamne’s beautiful Ornn ultimates had been capable of stifle the MAD Lions’ acceleration and produce the sport again into Rogue’s favor.
Larssen additionally had himself a really clutch efficiency while backed up in opposition to the wall, utilizing his Ahri to close perfection and discovering key decide offs that enabled Rogue to proceed their snowball and finally shut out the sport in dominating vogue.

Sport 5
Rogue come from behind the 1-2 deficit to clinch the sequence and punch their ticket to Worlds!
They received off to a sizzling begin owing to a featherbrained high turret dive by MAD that put them behind for almost all of the sport.
Whereas Nisqy and Elyoya had been capable of finding key engages to push MAD again into the sport, in addition they received caught out making an attempt to make these performs afterward within the recreation, which finally led to a numbers drawback that price MAD each Elder and Baron.
I wish to give the sequence MVP to Larssen after an excellent sequence, particularly in Sport 4 and Sport 5 when he was down 1-2. Usually known as a choker for his incapability to translate his common season dominance into playoff success, the franchise participant for Rogue stepped up massively alongside Odoamne and Comp to maintain cool in hectic moments and lead Rogue to a Worlds berth.
