League of Madness Final Four!
The final four of the League of Madness is here! I made a bracket with 64 League team and mirrored it to the current NCAA tournament. What a crazy run it has been. The betting odds on this being the final four would have been 100,000 to one or more. We have one team from the LCK, one from EU, and two from the secretly most dominant region, the LPL. That’s right the final four teams are Jin Air Green Wings, G2 eSports, Qiao Gu Reapers, and Master3, a team that barely snuck in the tournament as the 38th overall seed. The final games today are #2 Qiao Gu Reapers vs. #2 G2 eSports and #1 Jin Air Green Wings vs # 10 Master3. Games start at 3:09 PST! While two of the work horses are still alive here are some of the biggest upsets of each round and my summary of the games. The up to date bracket, overall seeding, and previous rounds can be found at the link above.
Second Round** **'#2 SKT T1 (2-3) vs. #15 Cougar eSports (3-2) – After Faker and company came down with food poisoning they put in Korean AI intermediate bots to prevent forfeit. Unfortunately the mighty CBLoL’ers were able to barely conquer the bots. Third Round '#2 KT Rolster (2-3) vs. #7 Unicorns of Love (3-2) – After Faker gave restaurant recommendations to Ssumday he was unable to carry. Also, the return of Diamond prompted an incredible comeback and with the amazing EU lane swaps, UoL was able to squeak by on e of the tournament favorites. KT Rolster continues to struggle to make it past the second round of the tournament. Sweet 16 The only upset of the sweet sixteen is all the games were close. Elite 8 '#1 AHQ e-sports (2-3) vs #10 Master3 (3-2) – Yolo went full YOLO out of the jungle picking Talon, Draven and Akali in three wins. Westdoor went on full tilt after Twisted Fate, Zed, Diana, and Fizz were all banned due to in game bugs. Final 4 STAY TUNED TODAY
