HLE entered today, seeking revenge on T1 for knocking them out of MSI contention. For about 80% of the series, T1 dominated, but a couple of poor engagements gave HLE a route back until Zeka fumbled. T1 secures the 2-0 and moves within touching distance of HLE in the LCK. Following that series was the chaos of the Rise group, where BFX and DRX fought tooth and nail until a winner was decided, with DRX emerging victorious.
Initial Prediction
T1 2-1 HLE
Result
T1 2-0 HLE
Summary
T1 continued their push towards second place in the Legend group standings. As the series progressed, it began to look like HLE is far below T1 and GenG at the moment. Off the back of Zeka and Zeus, HLE fought back in game two to garner a lead. A mistake from Zeka on HLE’s siege opened up an opportunity for T1 to end the game in a nail-biting nexus rush. Keria led the T1 charge in game one on his fabled Bard. He continued his form in the early half of game two, but his engages were too far, which gave HLE the route back into the game. T1 is now one series win away from tying HLE.

Initial Prediction
BFX 2-1 DRX
Result
BFX 1-2 DRX
Summary
Chaos is the only way to describe this series between BFX and DRX. The number of times the gold leads and team fights went back and forth between the two teams is impossible to count. Ultimately, DRX looked more stable. The fight losses for BFX were often due to their mistakes, while DRX accepted them willingly. Andil continued his resurgent performance, but it was Kyeahoo who stood out in all three games. He was the most consistent member of the DRX roster and performed his job in all three games. DRX brings themselves one win closer to the top three in the Rise Group for the LCK.
