Group D—consisting of 100 Thieves, Royal Never Give Up, CTBC Flying Oyster, and Gen.G—seemed like a straightforward pool from the moment the 2022 League of Legends World Championship groups were drawn. The 메이저토토 reigning MSI champions RNG separated themselves from the rest of the pack immediately with a 3-0 scoreline after the first round robin largely because of their grasp on the meta and long history of dominance on the international stage.
Gen.G, the first seed from the LCK, seemed like a 메이저토토사이트 strong enough team who can contest the frivolity and restlessness of RNG thanks to their capability of swift and almost effortless meta adaptations. But 100T and CTBC Flying Oyster have found themselves playing in a group way out of their league since RNG and Gen.G have, time and time again, displayed incredible talent paired with resilience.
Can 100T and CTBC catch up to RNG and Gen.G, and the current versatile meta, during the second round-robin stage of Worlds 2022 or will they return home devastated and lost for words?
RNG run the show in Group D
The reigning MSI champions have already showcased that they are well-versed in the Worlds 2022 meta that involves teamfight-oriented comps. These comps usually consist of a tank and a bruiser in the top lane or jungle role like Sejuani and Ornn, a hyper-scaling mage in the middle lane like Azir or Sylas, and meta marksmen like Caitlyn and Kalista paired with the support that principally compliments the AD carry’s playstyle like Lux or Renata Glasc.
Aside from that, RNG have always had an intriguing playstyle where they combine thought-out aggression with a refined and controlled approach to their opponent. In other words, RNG don’t disrespect their opponents no matter their region or 메이저놀이터 status but rather look to capitalize on the enemies’ mistakes, like carries overstepping their boundaries and aggressive positioning. These patterns were seen in their game against Gen.G, where RNG’s Breathe got a kill on Ruler even though four players were ganking him.
RNG’s players have, time and time again, showcased strong team cohesion and awareness that makes breaking their ranks almost impossible. This was clearly shown during the match between 100T when RNG repelled every 100T effort to nullify their scaling with early ganks. Standing tall in the face of Closer, RNG didn’t diverge from their original plan to scale, and as time passed by, their victory became apparent.
In the final round robin during the group stage, RNG will still be a force to be reckoned with. Since they had extra time to perfect their calm, cool, and collected strategy that slowly chokes the enemy out of vision, gold, and experience, RNG should be stronger and more difficult to defeat than ever.
Gen. G have no trouble keeping up with RNG’s tempo
Gen.G are similar to RNG when it comes to understanding the meta and adapting since they understand Maokai and Kalista should never go unbanned. In their match against 100T, they quickly adapted their team comp by including Trundle in the jungle to counter 100T’s frontline of Aatrox and Poppy.
Besides that, Gen.G always have a clear idea of what the match should look like. Understanding their team comp was far weaker in the early game in a match against 100T, they spent the laning phase nullifying the pressure from Ssumday’s Aatrox while giving enough room for their carries Aphelios and Azir to scale and eventually shred 100T’s frontline.
Unlike CTBC, who restlessly tried to set Gen.G behind during the final day of the first round of round robin with Lee Sin’s ganks and invades, Gen.G don’t hesitate at all once the opportunity presents itself. After spending the early game avoiding ganks, Gen.G saw a huge opportunity in the form of a bot lane four-man dive and immediately pulled the trigger. From then on, Gen.G’s snowballing couldn’t be stopped.
Although Gen.G are not far skill-wise from RNG, their execution fails them from time to time, as seen when they struggled to get Azir ahead in their match against RNG and Ruler died to Breathe as Senna in a four-man gank. That being said, Gen.G are a heavy favorite for the runners-up of Group D.
CTBC and 100 Thieves are drowning
It’s no secret that CTBC and 100T are struggling in Group D. Since these teams have only one win in total, it’s glaringly obvious there’s a whole series of issues they need to fix if they plan on eliminating Gen.G from contention for the knockout stage.
Both teams need to work on their game plan. When we look at the game bettween Gen.G and 100T, we can easily see 100T are only trying to answer Gen.G’s pressure in the bot lane instead of focusing on their winning top lane. Even though Ssumday spared no effort when trying to carry 100T, Gen.G—who heavily invested time, gold, and effort into their carries—quickly saw their investments pay off.
We’ve also seen CTBC and 100T struggle with their decision-making. CTBC had the upper hand during the early game against Gen.G. But they hesitated too much and, paralyzed in their analysis, were too afraid to act. And since timing is everything in League, they lost their lead and tempo before they could even realize it—and, eventually, the game.
Other than that, both CTBC and 100T have been brave enough to experiment with the meta. But the poor execution during the match between CTBC and RNG with Tristana and Kennen shows they should master the traditional meta before experimenting.
CTBC and 100T should work on their mental since it’s obvious they are under huge amounts of pressure as soon as they enter Summoner’s Rift. This normally results in them being afraid of making a play and indecisiveness. But this exact approach is costing them games against giants like RNG and Gen.G. Instead, they should at least attempt to make a play, no matter the result 메이저사이트
If CTBC and 100T put their time to good use, they could potentially knock Gen.G out. But both teams suffer from a wide variety of issues that can’t simply be fixed with a band-aid. So, it’s highly likely we’ll see Gen.G and RNG in the knockout stage.
Group D’s second round robin of the group stage will be played on Sunday, Oct. 16.
DRX’s BeryL on bouncing back, playing with Deft, and potentially facing DWG KIA at Worlds 2022

There are few players in professional 안전놀이터 League of Legends who are as quietly accomplished as DRX support BeryL. In four seasons of professional play, he’s never missed the World Championship, has won the event once, and finished as a runner-up as well—all with DWG KIA.
On those DAMWON teams, BeryL’s soft success 먹튀검증 was often sent to the back burner by the presence of the team’s top-side trio of Nuguri, Canyon, and ShowMaker—three players who have made up (and still are) the cornerstones of that franchise.
This season, though, BeryL has carved out his own 먹튀검증사이트 pocket of success on a new team, DRX. He’s helped lead the organization to its second appearance at Worlds in three years. And this year, DRX’s road to Worlds was paved with struggles. After barely scraping into the LCK Summer Split playoffs as the league’s sixth and final seed, DRX had to string together two straight best-of-five wins against KT Rolster and Liiv SANDBOX to even make it to the play-in stage at the tournament. Both of those series went all five games, with DRX facing elimination games in both of them.
“As a professional player, desperation is the key,” BeryL told Dot Esports. “We all wanted to get good results and make Worlds. That desperation was the key to our resilience and [ability] to bounce back.”
And at Worlds, BeryL and DRX have already had to bounce back. After dropping the first game of their group stage run to Rogue, DRX rebounded with two straight victories against Top Esports and GAM Esports to move into sole possession of second place in their group.
Unrivaled experience in the bot lane
At BeryL’s side through all of that “desperation” this season has been veteran AD carry Deft, who has spent three of the last four seasons with DRX. And although BeryL is, by all traditional definitions, a “veteran” League player, Deft makes him look like a bushy-tailed rookie in most facets. Deft has played in both China and Korea, he’s served on five different teams, and has been in the pro League space since 2012.
And when standing next to Deft, BeryL doesn’t even consider himself a veteran player. Compared to Deft’s nine years, BeryL’s four gives the support player a perspective where he still feels like he has room to grow.
“I myself don’t really consider myself a veteran player, because compared to other players with a lot of experience, I don’t think I have that much experience,” BeryL said. “It’s only been four years since I debuted in the LCK. Based on [Deft’s] experience, he has a lot of game knowledge and know-how, and when I’m with Deft, I can tell he’s one of the oldest gamers around here, like Faker.”
While BeryL might have experience winning a World Championship, Deft has him beat in almost every other field of accomplishment and tenure.
And this year, BeryL will hope that some of his championship-winning experience may rub off on Deft, who’s been chasing the Summoner’s Cup since he was a favorite to win it on multiple teams dating back to his age-17 season. From Samsung Blue, Edward Gaming, and every other team in between, the idea that Deft could win Worlds has always been present throughout his career, no matter who he’s played for.
Allies turned rivals
To win Worlds (or at least make a deep run), BeryL will almost certainly have to get past his former squad, DWG KIA. Whether he’ll have to eliminate them directly or simply place better than them, BeryL will have to overcome his one-time teammates one way or another.
“Whenever I come to Worlds, I realize that even though we all come from the same region, we are enemies,” BeryL said of other LCK teams. “If I get to play against [DAMWON], I will do my best in order to get a victory.”
For now, though, DRX have to make it past the group stage. And in Group C at Worlds, Rogue have been running circles around every team, while JackeyLove and Top Esports always present a formidable threat. Although DRX would advance if the group stage ended today, there are still three games left on the schedule. But BeryL knows that due to a rapid-fire Worlds format, just a few wins could send them straight to the top four, especially if DRX carry enough momentum between the group stage and their potential appearance in the knockouts 메이저놀이터
“I really want to make it out of groups and play best-of-fives, because one best-of-five will guarantee a spot in the semifinals,” he said. “So my goal right now is to make it out of groups and win at least one best-of-five to make it to the semis.”
A repeat 2-1 record in week two of the group stage will guarantee that DRX advance to the knockout stage, regardless of who they drop that one game to. If they go 3-0, they’d have a chance to earn the top seed out of the group.
BeryL, DRX, and the rest of Group C will play all of their second round robin games of the Worlds 2022 group stage on Saturday, Oct. 15.
Top seed curse: Cloud9 fall out of Worlds 2022 after dropping essential game to EDG

For the first time in their history, Cloud9 came into the League of Legends World Championship as North America’s first seed. But after losing four of their last five games in a tough group with T1, Fnatic, and Edward Gaming, the iconic LCS organization has dropped out of this year’s tournament.
C9 fans were rolling after the boys in blue 토토사이트 pulled off a dominant win over Fnatic earlier in the day. The team changed up its drafting priority, giving their bottom lane more focus as they placed Fudge on Ornn duty while giving Berserker a classic Jinx. In this game against EDG, however, he was thrown onto Varus alongside Zven’s Renata Glasc.
EDG, on the other hand, drafted Thresh and Aphelios for one of the best bottom lanes in the event. The team’s veteran support Meiko put on a clinic with the Chain Warden, while the rest of the team crushed their competition with perfect roams, great macro, and spotless teamfighting. The team’s star mid laner Scout also had a picturesque performance on Akali, as he jumped into the fray with no fear, collecting six kills and eight assists with no deaths.
In fact, early-game roams dictated the pace from the opening minute, whether it was Scout sneaking into the bottom lane for a free kill, or Jiejie 토토사이트추천 jumping into the fray to help kickstart Viper into the mid-to-late game with a great gank. Ultimately, C9 couldn’t stop the snowball once it started to roll down the hill, and by the time the Nexus exploded, EDG had racked up a whopping 19 kills to C9’s single elimination.
This is a disappointing end to the LCS champions’ run after they garnered so much hype from winning the trophy in their own region. They dropped three games in a row during the first week of groups, giving them a tough road to climb in week two 먹튀검증사이트
Hopium began to flow after their convincing victory against Fnatic, but EDG was too much of a challenge to overcome. After a bit of a break, the team will need to focus on the upcoming offseason to prepare for 2023, since all of their players are signed until 2024 and 2025.
Meanwhile, EDG will have to switch their 메이저사이트 sights to their final matches of the day against Fnatic and T1. These next two games could not only lock their place in the knockout stage but could also ensure their place as the top seed in group A.
Group A results seal one winning bot lane combo as must-ban champions for the rest of Worlds

As the 2022 League of Legends World Championship 메이저토토사이트 rages onward through the group stage, one specific bot lane champion combination has taken over as a must-pick or ban throughout the tournament and held the key to Group A on day five: Yuumi and Sivir.
The Curious Cat has been banned 메이저토토 multiple times through Worlds, holding 35 bans, while teams have allowed her to hit the Rift in just 11 games. Usually, any team that manages to pick Yuumi at this tournament has come home with a win, since she has an 81.8 percent win rate, according to Leaguepedia.
Although Sivir hasn’t been hit by any bans during 메이저놀이터 the premier League event, she holds an equally impressive 90 percent win rate over 10 games.
Sivir and Yuumi’s impact was heavily felt in Group A after T1 used the combo to beat Fnatic before EDG piloted it again to take down the LEC third seed.
Ultimately, those games were key in Fnatic’s fate in New York, and if they chose to ban either of the champions, maybe they’d still be fighting for the Worlds 2022 title.
The combo has been piloted by a number of superstar duos across the entirety of Worlds, including T1’s Gumayusi and Keria, JD Gaming’s Hope and Missing, and Edward Gaming’s Viper and Meiko. Every time, they’ve shown how easy it can be to win with these champions since they provide so much utility for themselves and their teammates.
Whether it’s Yuumi’s healing, shielding, or massive AoE ultimate, the cat is always a tough champion to face off on the Summoner’s Rift.
Combine her utility with Sivir’s strong damage, spell shield, and ultimate ability, and the two become an unkillable damage dealer. It also helps that Yuumi alleviates Sivir’s weaker early game by providing the lane with some much-needed poke, allowing the Battle Mistress to scale up and gain enough power to take over the later stages of the game.
In a coordinated team setting, top teams can take advantage of all of this utility by adding champions with a ton of damage and playmaking potential, so they can zoom across a teamfight and dive into position 메이저사이트
Moving forward, we could see teams at the 2022 World Championship ban one of these League champions away so the combo isn’t available for teams in future stages.
Faker breaks legendary Uzi record at Worlds after Chinese icon’s four-year reign on the charts
Another day, another record shattered by the greatest League of Legends player of all time.
Iconic mid laner Faker has locked up the most collective kills in World Championship history, passing former star AD carry Uzi with more than 350 kills over the course of his career at the tournament. The T1 superstar took the record away from the marksman during the team’s most recent group stage match against Fnatic, where he racked up six kills and an assist on top of only three deaths.
Faker has played in almost every single 토토사이트 World Championship since 2013, having only missed the event in 2014 and 2018.
He has been one of the most consistent players in the world, always maintaining top form alongside his teammates on T1. He is the stalwart leader for the team, no matter what players are around him, and this year, he had to 토토사이트추천 guide his young compatriots into one of the biggest tournaments of their careers so far.
Over the course of his career, Faker has had to shift his playstyle to whatever helps his team succeed. During the early years, he frequented plenty 메이저사이트 of carry champions as the main focus for his squad, but with time, he started to pick supportive-style champions like LIssandra, Twisted Fate, and Galio.
Don’t underestimate the GOAT, though. He still has flashy, playmaking champions like Ahri, Akali, and LeBlanc in his repertoire that he has no problems breaking out when his squad needs it. His mechanical skill hasn’t diminished, and it’s clear with how successful he and his team have been so far at Worlds 2022 메이저놀이터
Uzi’s record was impressive as well, since his 350 kills stood for so long even though it has been four years since he’s attended the tournament.
The explosive marksman is known for his incredible carry performances, and even though he hasn’t won Worlds yet, he is still considered to be the greatest ADC of all time.
