Day one of the League of Legends Rift Rivals is over and surprisingly to some, North America is just ahead!
Team SoloMid in particular, which was sometimes a little less fortunate internationally, convinced with 2 wins and brought out the lead for NA.
League of Legends - Rift Rivals NA vs EU
The first match team SoloMid against the European team G2 Esports was a source of ignition. Was the loss of TSM against G2 at the Mid Season Invitational, but one of the reasons for TSM's elimination in the group stage.
The team around Midlaner Bjergsen had every reason to prove that they were superior to their opponents. With the pocket pick Jarvan IV. In the top lane and Galio in the mid lane for an extremely strong combo of both ultimates, Team SoloMid was able to win the match.
The victory over the Unicorns in the 2nd match of the day for Team SoloMid led to disturbing, emotional scenes. Due to a bet TSM Bjergsen was allowed to “free” the Unicorn Manager from his head of hair.
I'm a man of my words.
GGWP to @TeamSoloMid,
Thank you @Bjergsen for the haircut.
