The first match of the playoffs at League of Legends LEC 2022 Summer Split is set to be between Rogue and MAD Lions. This is going to be a crucial game as the rivalry between the squads has grown to massive proportions in recent times.
MAD Lions had an admirable regular split while Rogue had an average one, which is quite uncharacteristic as the opposite happens in most cases. Hence, it will be interesting to witness what happens when the playoffs kick off on August 26, 2022.
Rogue will be looking to shake off their tag of being "chokers" in best-of-five games, while MAD Lions will be looking to book a place in the upper bracket finals. In either case, both teams will be looking to grab a win to make the journey to Worlds 2022 easier.
Current form and predictions
The MAD Lions had a brilliant regular season at League of Legends LEC 2022 Summer Split. Nisqy's addition to the team made a massive difference as it helped the MAD Lions turn the tide almost immediately.
The dominance of the MAD Lions did drop a little towards the end of the regular split as more teams figured out the strategy it was using.
