Team Liquid took down MAD Lions today in the first North America vs. Europe bout of the 2021 League of Legends World Championship off of strong maco and teamfight play. Santorin heavily contributed to the team’s success with his Xin Zhao pick, posting a 5/2/10 scoreline.
As the second seed from the LCS and known subpar international performers, Liquid are looking to make history for themselves by getting past group play and qualifying for the knockout stage. MAD, on the other hand, want to showcase how they’ve dominated the LEC for a whole year and why they’re deserving of being the region’s first seed—something that’s been controlled by Fnatic and G2 Esports since 2014.
