TCL Claim Victory in Minor Region Rift Rivals Series

As Rift Rivals wraps up for the other regions around the world, let’s take a look at the three way bout between the Turkish Champions League, LoL Continental League, and the Vietnam Championship Series.

The first day started off well for the VCS teams, as they claimed victory in three of their four games to give them a handy lead over the other regions. The TCL and LCL did manage to pick a single win each as they looked to remain competitive, but it would take some effort to climb above the rest of the pack at this stage. The second day’s games proved to be full of upsets, as the VCS could not claim the single win they needed in order to stay ahead, as the TCL and LCL each claimed two victories to make the total score a three way tie for all the regions, meaning that tie-breaker matches would need to be played to determine which two regions would advance to the semi-finals, and which region would gain an automatic spot in the finals. Gambit Esports of the LCL proved to be the strongest team in these tie-breakers, allowing the LCL to advance straight to the finals.

The semi-final matches between the TCL and VCS were not as competitive as the group stage games, with the TCL teams turning up the heat against their opponents. Despite their best efforts, the VCS teams could not compete on the day, setting up the final showdown between the TCL and LCL. The finals series was just as quick and methodical as the semi-final games, with the TCL once again showcasing their strength against their opponents. Despite the best efforts of Gambit Esports, they were unable to win the games needed to keep their regions hopes alive as the TCL played hard to achieve victory.
