DRX popped off in the last day of the group stages. They took down FlyQuest in convincing fashion with Doran taking the lead in the top lane on Jayce. The Korean top lane has been notorious for performing really well on Jayce and today was no different. He ensured that FlyQuest’s Solo couldn’t farm or aid his team. Doran was so dominant that he finished the game deathless with a score of 8/0/5. His performance was insane from the get-go, he never stepped back.
Another notable member who played really well was Chovy in the mid lane on Galio, he ensured that Doran was free to push freely whether he wanted and backed him up with his ultimate when necessary. FlyQuest on the other hand looked quite poor, losing objective after objective. They kept stalling the game but in the end, it was pointless.
The 2020 Season World Championship (Worlds 2020) is the conclusion of the 2020 League of Legends esports season. The tournament is held in Shanghai, China. The tournament began with Play-In stages on Sep. 25 and will conclude on Oct. 31 with the finals between two teams which would be arguably the best in the World.
The Main-Event stage began on Oct. 3 and will feature the best 16 teams in the World. 8 out of them will advance to the knockout stage where they’ll have a shot at advancing forward.
The format for qualification in North America and Europe changed this year, with teams only being able to qualify directly through the LCS Summer Playoffs and LEC Summer Playoffs, respectively. Seeding Changes: China and Europe both receive one extra seed for a total of four, while the PCS is given two seeds, compared to a combined four for the LMS and Southeast Asia in 2019.
In summary, one main event seed previously held by the LMS is given to Europe, and the play-in seed previously held by Southeast Asia is given to China.
Due to Vietnamese teams being unable to participate, the Play-In format was heavily adjusted, and the region’s Main Event spot was given to Korea’s 3rd seed. If Vietnamese teams had been allowed to participate, Team Flash would have played in the Main Event and GAM Esports would have played in the Play-In.
