SK Gaming vs MAD Lions

A fight between the defending champions and the de facto worst team in the LEC doesn’t really get the blood pumping. There’s just no other way to put it, really. Still, that doesn’t mean there’s no reason to tune in — on the contrary! SK have nothing to lose which means they’ll surely play without fear and reserve. That’s a veritable superpower and they’ll surely harness it from the very moment they step foot on stage to compete.

It probably won’t matter much in the grand scheme of things, but it’ll still make for an entertaining scrap, one that might be a lot more competitive than expected. SK aren’t particularly dangerous at this point in time, but they’re still a talented bunch and will surely try their hardest.

MAD Lions, on the other hand, have improved in a myriad of ways ever since they had returned from Reykjavik, Iceland. They’re still not as dangerous or cohesive as they were back in Spring, but they’re getting there, and will no doubt enter the upcoming playoffs as one of the biggest favourites. It is therefore imperative for them to generate as much momentum as possible before facing some truly capable opposition. SK is as easy a test as they’re going to get, which means they simply have to go for a statement win; any result other than a resounding beatdown would undoubtedly be considered as a sign of weakness.

So, naturally, we’ll side with the LEC champs on this one — it’s the only logical option!
