In the first match of the play-offs TOP Esports dominated, despite the card given away, the team was able to pass to the next round unhindered thanks to the efforts of Spurt Mark and the forester Hope.

Oh My God, getting through to the play-offs is a result of the turbulence the club went through before the Long Camp season. There were changes not only in the active squad of players but also in the coaching staff.

Their Forest player AKi, who once tried out for TOP Esports, was in the top 3 in the region in terms of MVP honours during the regular season, and he was joined by Jiejie and Scout at the top and Knight and Rookie at the bottom. A solid group, there's no other way to put it.
