The second match of North America’s Last Chance Qualifiers had all sorts of tension, as XSET and Luminosity Gaming faced off to get one step closer to the last NA spot in Champions. Haven was definitely LG’s map and the 13-2 scoreline sure shows it. This map was XSET’s pick, but XSET weren’t able to get anything done. Tanner “TiGG” Spanu came on very aggressively, taking away XSET’s ability to control the timing of the match. XSET were constantly pushed on and unprepared for the pressure LG were putting on

Experience and progress are directly related variables in theory. But when a player has already eclipsed every competitor in their field with just a few years of proven experience, “progress” quickly turns into “greatness.” Coming off of a League of Legends World Championship title in 2020, DWG KIA mid laner ShowMaker is the bannerman for an ever-growing wave of the game’s next-gen superstars.
