Welcome to another edition of Monday News where I gather all the important information that you may have missed during the week! I hope you are ready because we have a lot to talk about, so grab a cup of coffee and let’s get into it.

2021 Mid-Season Showdown Finals:

  • C9 vs TL: What an insane best of five! The finals were so exciting that it ended in five games, first game went in favor of TL with a clean comp, they were determined and motivated to take the first game but Cloud9 didn’t let their hands down and did their best by taking the second game. Things were tense and everyone was stressed, but anyone could win and take the series to be recognized as the champions and that’s what TL did in their third game, they played it perfectly and took the win. C9 was in a difficult situation where they needed two more wins and a loss could eliminate them and close the series. Unfortunately for TL, Cloud9 had a big plan, they had a secret weapon and a clean strategy. Perkz went all in this the last two games, with an insane early strategy by Cloud9 where they swapped bot and top and took the first blood, it made fans remember some good old days in season 3. It finally ended with the victory of Cloud9, a well-deserved one with a score of 3-2.

  • MAD vs RGE: What can I say about this game? It was one hell of a series between two legendary teams who will probably be the next G2 & Fnatic. Maybe this is already the end of a huge ERA and the start of a new one! After the disqualification of G2 Esports by the hands of Rogue with a score of 3-1 at the semifinals, Rogue went to the finals with one goal in mind and it’s to win the whole thing and bring the trophy back at home. MAD Lions had a surprise for Rogue because they had enough time to prepare for both teams since they are the reason why G2 lost in the winner’s bracket.

  • Rogue won the first and second game, they were really strong and gave their best they needed one more win to close the series and finish it clean with a 3-0 but MAD played the third game perfectly on the blue side, then the 4th & 5th game chose they decided to choose the red side and it worked, they did one of the greatest reverses sweeps in history, an unbelievable victory for MAD Lions congratulations to them and hard luck to Rogue, both teams are really strong but only one team will go to MSI.
