Lupus eSports and Metamoon outplayed their opponents and became the first two squads in our second League of Legends season for this year.

The qualifying cycle for League of Legends began today. A total of 16 teams met in a single-elimination bracket to fight for the two available spots in the league. After defeating Golden Killer 33 in the first round, Lupus eSports showed that they are better than Taihaku as well and advanced to the semifinals. The first semifinal spot in the upper half of the bracket went ot Metamoon who reached this stage over Clouded Leopards Prime and CATCH THE PIGEON. Their opponents were Harmony, a team that eliminated Split Raiders in the initial round of this qualifier. The other semifinal match was played out between Lupus eSports and Gazda Cam’s party.

Both decider matches were intense duels that saw the best teams win. After two games, Metamoon and Harmony were ready to decide the winner of this semifinal match. That title went to Metamoon, who fought greatly and deservedly snapped the spot. Actually, the second semifinal came to an end first. Lupus eSports and Gazda Cam’s party also played all three games in the semifinals, but Lupus eSports managed to secure their victory a bit earlier than Metamoon. With these matches concluding, we got our two teams in the league. Congratulations Lupus eSports and Metamoon!
