Highlight matches of the week
Luminosity Gaming vs. Evil Geniuses
This is the Diondre "YaBoiDre" Bond vs. himself rematch. In 2021, YaBoiDre had some success with LG, as the team was a constant challenger in the Challengers circuit. He's now assisting EviL Geniuses in their most important tournament to date. With C9, 100T, and XSET in their group, whichever team wins this encounter will have a greater chance of qualifying for the playoffs.
Cloud9 vs. XSET
Cloud9 was also eliminated by XSET at the NA LCQ last year. Last year, XSET was typically one of the strongest NA teams, but they fell short of qualifying for international competitions. Beating C9 would show that they've improved this year and are ready to represent NA on the global stage.
