Hey guys!

Here's my thread for Day 1 of @lolesports #Worlds2020 . Follow this thread for live updates of first games.

In case you missed it, here's my preview video

First game of the day (and Worlds!)

@LEC @MADLions_LoLEN vs @lolesportsbr @INTZ

My prediction: While this is INTZ's 5th consecutive year at Worlds, this is MAD's game to lose

#Worlds2020 #LeagueOfLegends

Gotta love the socially distanced stage great look

What a crazy draft for the first game

Urgot top and Tristana mid for INTZ

Evelynn in the jungle for MAD

Urgot resurgence #Worlds2020 #LeagueOfLegends

INTZ Tay just teleported to a ward in lane instead of killing MAD Shadow for first blood with Urgot ult...

MAD got really lucky on that one

#Worlds2020 #LeagueOfLegends

First blood top side

MAD Orome and Shadow kill INTZ Tay

That missed kill feeling real bad now for Tay

#Worlds2020 #LeagueOfLegends

2 quick team fights mid put MAD up 4k gold lead at 23 min and a baron

Again looks like MAD's game to lose at this point

8/1 FOR INTZ TAY ON THE URGOT!!!

URGOT IS BACK IN WORLDS

#Worlds2020 #LeagueOfLegends

Second Baron for MAD at 31 minutes. Gold lead at 8k for MAD.

Could be looking at the final push right here

#Worlds2020 #LeagueOfLegends

And @MADLions_LoLEN take the very first game of Worlds against @INTZ in 34 minutes

But if this game has taught us anything, its that Urgot may be very viable going into the rest of Worlds

#Worlds2020 #LeagueOfLegends

So PSG Talon's River, Tank and Unified did not get VISA's to play in Worlds. 3 new players NOT from PSG will be playing for PSG until the 27th, when Unified will be able to join the team again.

Unfortunate news for a team I had making it to Main stage, don't know about that now

The subs for PSG are jungler Kongyue, mid laner Uniboy, and bot laner Dee

Kongyue and Uniboy are a strong jg mid duo in their own right, so maybe PSG can hold on

Rainbow 7 is so troll with these hovers

Great draft out of both teams though. Would have liked to see the Morgana for PSG instead of Bard however

#Worlds2020 #LeagueOfLegends

First blood over to PSG after a crazy fight in the bottom lane

Maybe the Bard was the right pick

#Worlds2020 #LeagueOfLegends

And first turret for PSG as well

Solid lead for PSG through first 17 min...having a new team doesn't seem to be bothering them at all

An ace for PSG at 25 min

WIth a 5k gold lead, 17-4 kill diff for PSG, and a 9/0 Ekko, this game is pretty much over for R7

Another ace for PSG at 30 min

Pulled off the Baron to take a great fight, but Ekko died and the Baron wasn't taken

Still yet PSG in prime position to end this game in the next 5 minutes

#Worlds2020 #LeagueOfLegends

PSG wins in 32 minutes

R7 just got bullied early and couldn't come back

Doesn't seem to matter that PSG is playing with subs. They look great if not better than they did during the split

#Worlds2020 #LeagueOfLegends

Really excited for this Legacy vs INTZ game

Legacy is one of my sleepers in this play in stage

And a Tristana bot pick for Legacy to counter the Ezreal for INTZ is interesting

#Worlds2020 #LeagueOfLegends

First pause of Worlds comes in the third game

Legacy reported some settings errors and wanted to change them

I wonder if there was a prop bet on that stat

I would have set it at 5.5 over-under and take the under so I would've been right lol

#Worlds2020 #LeagueOfLegends

First blood for Legacy after chasing down INTZ Shini after drake

Kill went over to Babip on the Nidalee

#Worlds2020 #LeagueOfLegends

Also forgot to note, its pretty rare to see Legacy Isles playing a tank supp as he usually plays enchanters

He played tank supp only 15 times out of his last 50 games this summer

#Worlds2020 #LeagueOfLegends

INTZ taking a lot of good fights so far

Envy roaming really well on this Zoe right now

#Worlds2020 #LeagueOfLegends

What was the team fight??? How did 3 Legacy members walk away with less than 50 health???

Crazy game going on right now Legacy has a 5k gold lead but it doesn't feel like it

Legacy needs to end soon otherwise this Ezreal and Valdimir will go crazy

Mountain Soul picked up for INTZ. Will help them survive some of the hard dive from this Legacy comp

Legacy respond by taking Baron, but lose 3 in a team fight afterwards

#Worlds2020 #LeagueOfLegends

What a beautiful fight for Legacy right there

They should've lost that fight but the Nidalee is too strong

Elder Drake now on Legacy. And with Vlad dead, Legacy needs to push now

#Worlds2020 #LeagueOfLegends

Legacy wins in 40 min

That was exactly the kind of game I wanted to see from Worlds. INTZ with a good showing, but Legacy just had too much of a lead in gold. Once the items came in, it was over.

INTZ go 0-2 in Day 1

#Worlds2020 #LeagueOfLegends

LGD vs PSG

Great match ahead of us. Both teams are really aggressive and it, so it should be a fun early game

Remember, PSG has 3 subs right now, and they did well against R7, but LGD is a much stronger team. Lets see how they do

#Worlds2020 #LeagueOfLegends

LGD able to secure the first Lillia in Worlds after PSG didn't ban it on red side

Very aggressive wombo combo comps on both sides...should be a banger

#Worlds2020 #LeagueOfLegends

First blood for LGD on the top side dive

First blood came in at 10 minutes, a lot later than I thought

Both teams playing kinda slow for now, but expect it to pick up once 1-2 items come in

#Worlds2020 #LeagueOfLegends

Been a laid back game so far with only 3 kills

Both teams have very scary engage though, so be ready for a fight to break out without warning

#Worlds2020 #LeagueOfLegends

An ace for PSG and a Baron

Are we looking at the first upset of Worlds???

PSG has control of this game right now. They can end if they win this fight around Ocean Soul

#Worlds2020 #LeagueOfLegends

Or you know, they can just give it up

#Worlds2020 #LeagueOfLegends

The first upset of Worlds is complete with a 36 min win for PSG

PSG doesn't care if they have 3 subs, they will not be stopped

Did LGD choke? That's a question we have to go back to later

PSG go 2-0 today while LGD is now 0-1

#Worlds2020 #LeagueOfLegends

Question to you guys before @MADLions_LoLEN vs @TeamLiquidLoL starts. Who you got?

Despite popular belief (or what the ESPN quiz suggested is popular belief) I got TL.

#Worlds2020 #LeagueOfLegends

Kaiser got me there with that Galio hover

The Twitch is a cool pick and I'm excited to see how it shapes out, cause it could help shape this Worlds meta

#Worlds2020 #LeagueOfLegends

MAD get first blood, but it wasn't really worth it

CoreJJ with the homie play giving his life up for his Twitch and TF

#Worlds2020 #LeagueOfLegends

This poor observer had to jump around the map and every time he got there it was too late

#Worlds2020 #LeagueOfLegends

What a push there for TL

After a pick on Orome TL get 3 towers

MAD respond with a good pick on Jensen however

#Worlds2020 #LeagueOfLegends

Oh man if TL is able to peel for Tactical this Twitch will be scary

It also doesn't help that MAD is ARAMing right now

TL will pick up Baron at 30 min

#Worlds2020 #LeagueOfLegends

What a statement for TL, a 33 min win over MAD

Tactical the real MVP of this game on the Twitch

Overall great showing for TL and an awkward performance from MAD

We'll have to look back on why they looked so shaky on Day 1,

MAD at 1-1, TL 1-0

#Worlds2020 #LeagueOfLegends

And that wraps up Day 1!

PSG defiantly had the best showing of any team today.

They are looking really strong and we'll see how they can transfer that going forward.

MAD and LGD looked a little shaky today, will review why later today

#Worlds2020 #LeagueOfLegends

Thanks for sticking around to this thread!

Day 2 here we come!
