News Digest: Dark Era in G2
MinilitarinVCS rush to Worlds
Riot Games is still trying to help VCS members participate in Worlds 2021. An official document has been posted on TheThao.vn that was sent from GAM Esports through the Riot Games Singapore office. Unfortunately, it hasn't produced any results so far, but fans and teams of GAM Esports and Saigon Buffalo Esports still hope to take part in the main event of the year.
Recall that earlier Riot Games confirmed rumors that VCS participants will not participate in Worlds 2021. Thanks to this, Rogue got a place immediately in the group stage of the tournament, despite the third place at LEC Summer Split.
G2 has a hard time
Due to the flop this season, there are rumors that G2 Esports want to completely overhaul and rebuild their roster. Recall that the team did not qualify for MSI 2021, losing in the final of the lower bracket of the spring split to Rogue, and also failed to qualify for the Worlds, losing 2-3 in the semifinals of the lower bracket of the summer split to Fnatic.
Given that G2 were previously at the top of the world stage, it is understandable why the management would like to make replacements in the lineup. Surprising, however, is the rumor that the roster will line up around the Caps, not the recently arrived Rekkles.
Some sources report that BrokenBlade may come to the top lane to replace Wunder, who was previously left without a team due to the sale of the FC Schalke 04 slot. hints that he will not play for the team next season.
Wolrds 2021 format
Riot Games has published the format and dates for Worlds 2021 on their website. The tournament will be held from October 5 to November 6 in Reykjavik, Iceland. You can see a more detailed schedule for each stage of the tournament in the screenshot below.
World Champions at Worlds 2021
The reigning world champions, DAMWON KIA, presented the squad for Worlds 2021. The community was surprised and outraged when they did not see Malrang in the squad. The forester previously played for the team at MSI 2021 and was in the starting lineup during LCK Summer 2021.
Together with Ghost, Rahel will represent the team at the ADC position. The young talent was invited to the academic staff of DAMWON Challengers 3 months ago, and a month later he was called to the main team.
