G2 Esports was the first team to qualify for the rumble stage of the 2022 League of Legends<\/a> Mid-Season Invitational after winning five consecutive games. <\/p>\n

They finished top in the Group C standings, winning all seven games they featured in.<\/p>\n

Group C had only three teams, and so they had to play a quadruple round-robin format as opposed to the double round-robin for Groups A and B. <\/p>\n

The group also had North America Evil Geniuses and ORDER from Australia.<\/p>\n

With Group C played to a conclusion, EG has secured the second spot in the group with a 4-4 record. <\/p>\n

ORDER failed to win a single game throughout the group stage and has thereby been eliminated.<\/p>\n

The European esports organization has started its campaign spectacularly, thus far looking like one of the strongest teams in the tournament. <\/p>\n

They have the most kills with 143, followed closely by Chinese Royal Never Give up, who have 131 kills in six games.<\/p>\n

Everybody in G2 has pulled their weight so far. Rasmus “caPs” Winther and Victor “Flakked” Lirola deserve honorable mentions for their roles in their victories so far.<\/p>\n

However, it is worth noting that RNG’s first three games were wiped as there was the issue of ping discrepancy. <\/p>\n

Riot Games rescheduled replays for the LPL’s representatives, also stating that the problem has been rectified.<\/p>\n

Recall that RNG is playing remotely due to COVID-19 travel restrictions in their home country while other teams are present for the LAN event in Busan, South Korea.<\/p>\n

Navigating an offline event because of the global pandemic has not been easy. <\/p>\n

There were reports that Riot wanted participants to wear face masks on stage, but they have since reversed the decision.<\/p>\n

By May 15, the group stage will come to an end, and all the six teams participating in the rumble stage will be revealed. <\/p>\n

In Group A, T1 looks like they will continue their impressive form and secure their berth in the rumble stage.<\/p>\n

The Korean team has won their first three games, while the second spot will likely be filled with either Saigon Buffalo or DetonatioN FocusMe.<\/p>\n

Despite the cancellations, RNG has kept its heads up and continued to dominate Group B. <\/p>\n

They also had a perfect run in the group stage, proving that their first three victories were not flukes.<\/p>\n

The rumble stage will commence on May 20, with six teams competing for one of the top four spots. <\/p>\n

They will compete in another double round-robin, with all matches being best-of-1. <\/p>\n

Whoever finishes top in the rumble stage will have the privilege to choose who they would like to face in the semifinals between the third and fourth-placed teams.<\/p>\n
