Nobody expected this to be the most entertaining match of the tournament. Despite TOP’s massive gold lead, GAM fought head-to-head against them. The VCS representatives never surrendered and were able to get important map objectives to stay alive. Even when they were on the cusp of losing, GAM pulled off an incredible defense to make a comeback and defeat TOP.

By this time, Rogue’s undefeated streak had already earned them a spot in LoL Worlds 2022 Knockout Stage. But DRX was determined to win here. They picked up Heimerdinger support which worked superbly for the LCK team. Rogue’s lineup just fell off as DRX secured the game in 30 minutes.

GAM had been eliminated from Worlds at this point but they still looked poised to go down fighting. DRX knew this and hence they played patiently against the enemy’s unorthodox picks. They did not fall for GAM’s baits and were slowly able to gain an insurmountable lead against the 2022 VCS Summer winners. DRX closed the game within 31 minutes.

It seemed that Rogue’s luck had run out today as they were again dominated by another team. Even after getting eliminated, TOP played to the best of their abilities. With the help of JackeyLove’s Draven, the LPL second seed shut down all of Rogue’s plays to earn a quick, easy win by 24 minutes.

TOP looked to end their journey at LoL Worlds 2022 with a win and they fulfilled it in style. We saw JackeyLove again stepping up to punish the enemy team, this time DRX. The LCK fourth seed could not answer TOP’s aggressive plays and was finally defeated by 34 minutes. This loss forced a tie-breaker match between DRX and Rogue for first place in Group C.
