Worlds 2021: Results of the first round of the group stage
MinilitarinGroup A
In Group A, DAMWON KIA showed their strength and took first place without experiencing any problems in any of the first round games. They were followed by FumPlus Phoenix, who beat Rogue today in the dispute for the second place in the group. Cloud9 has very few chances to leave the group, but in case of not getting through, they can quite annoy the rest of the teams.
Group B
Edward Gaming managed to gain a foothold in the first place in Group B. Although they did not show a confident start against DetonatioN FocusMe, they managed to quickly recover and earn a third victory. T1 lost only to the Chinese and are confidently in second place. 100 Thieves and DFM are at risk and if the Americans even theoretically have a chance of one mistake, then the Japanese should try and win every remaining game.
Group C
Royal Never Give Up may not show the most confident game, but they manage to outplay their opponents in macro and because of this they now occupy the first line in group C. PSG Talon show the strength of the Pacific region and deservedly entrenched in the second line of the standings. Hanwha Life Esports is very stormy: you cannot predict how they will play the next match. This instability puts them in a perilous position with 1 win and 2 losses. Fnatic without Upset can show practically nothing. They had a chance today against PSG Talon, but the composition of the Maple team was stronger.
Group D
Group D turned out to be the most tense: all teams are practically equal in skill and the fate of cards is determined in micro-moments. As a result of a tense struggle, Gen.G and LNG managed to break into the first places, and MAD Lions and Team Liquid close the standings, but the situation can still change dramatically literally after the first games of the first round.
The games of the second round of the group stage will start on October 15 and will last 4 days. Recall that Worlds 2021 is held in LAN format in the capital of Iceland - Reykjavik. 22 teams battle it out for the Summoners' Cup and a $ 2,225,000 prize pool.
