Even if the two teams will not be able to recover the first place in the ranking general at the end of this day, this match remains essential for both formations. If we can of course mention the ego war enter here most popular historic structure (although now Solary can also claim to be a historic team given its seniority), and the new team that shines brightly in the skies of the French and European League of Legendsthis match will be especially important for the general classification and the playoffs to come.
Ranking issues
If today Vitality Bee is rather in a position favorable to access the playoffsthis is not the case for Karmine. Virtually qualified at the time of writing, a defeat would put them in a delicate situation, especially since their first unqualified pursuers, Team GO, are on a victorious dynamic and face a team in difficulty tonight: Team Oplon. Furthermore the calendar is not tender for the Kameto team, which will have to face Misfits Premier and the leaders LDLC OL when last weekwhile nearly every team tied with them still has at least one game to play against a team already eliminated from playoff contention, except BDS Academy who are scheduled to face Misfits, Team GO and Vitality Bee.
Nor is the match without stakes for bees. They need victories to possibly delight the second place at Game Ward, synonymous with better playoff seeding. They can also still be eliminated from the playoff raceeven if this scenario remains quite unlikely. Just like the Karmine, their last three games will be difficult since they will play after against LDLC and BDS A.. A victory tonight would validate their ticketand they surely want to offer it to their fans on this LFL Day.
The keys to the game
Vitality Bee likes to do the Nice game this season, and don’t hesitate to play with very aggressive compositions, without real pure frontlane. True team metronome, Skeanz often manages to find opportunities to give a advantage to his mates in early. The team has incredible statistics at this level, with 73% first bloodand 80% of first tower. If they manage to snow ballthen they become unstoppable and make few errors (90% win rate if they have the advantage 15 minutes into the game). The Karmine is warned, it will be necessary to defend themselves from the first minutes because their opponents will do everything to asphyxiate them.
However the early game is very far from being the strong point Kameto’s men this season. They only took the first round only in 46% games, and the first blood in only one third of the parties. She is also a fan of aggressive compositionsthey often have trouble turtle if their opponents take advantage. On paper Vitality Bee seems to have the advantagebut Karmine is never so strong that when she is back against the wall. Burying them prematurely would be a huge mistake, and it is for this reason that all the conditions seem to be in place for us to witness a madness match.
