MAD Lions vs Evil Geniuses League of Legends Worlds 2022: Head-to-head, livestream details, and more

The first match on the final day of the play-in stage knockouts at League of Legends Worlds 2022 is between the MAD Lions and Evil Geniuses. This game is bound to be interesting as it is the epic clash between Europe and North America.

As of today, North America has not beaten Europe in a single game in the 2022 season. Hence, this game is bound to be a grudge match where the MAD Lions will try to maintain the record while Evil Geniuses will look to break it.

However, there is also the fact that this game will determine the final team that will qualify for the main event at Worlds 2022. Hence, the stakes are very high as both personal pride and glory are at stake.

The MAD Lions' journey at the League of Legends Worlds 2022 play-in stage has been quite interesting. Apart from the two losses against DRX and RNG, the team has performed exceptionally well.

There was a strong belief that the MAD Lions would fail even to make it past the play-in stage. This is because, until yesterday, when the team won against Saigon Buffalo, the MAD Lions had not won a single best-of-five match.

This led to a lot of skepticism within the community and a significant lack of belief in the team. Things have turned out quite well, and the two primary payers within the team, namely Nisqy and Elyoya, have been incredible.

Elyoya continues explicitly to prove why he is rightfully considered the best jungler in Europe. In the match against DRX that the MAD Lions lost, Elyoya was able to Flame Horizon (up by 100 CS), the enemy jungler, in 25 minutes.

Unfortunately, the MAD Lions lost as the top laner and bot laner failed to perform. Even then, it is safe to say that this team is currently riding on momentum and might be able to challenge North America
