League of Legends – ROCCAT vs. Elements

Published on

 

 

The battle to avoid relegation continues on W7D1, as ROCCAT and Elements square off in a return match from a W4 domination. 

ROCCAT enter on the back of an up-and-down W6, which saw them eke out a tough victory over SK Gaming, before showing very poor form against a resurgent Gambit on the second day.

ROCCAT have been the poster-child for ‘tweener’ teams this split, doing just enough to avoid relegation, while never truly proving a threat to the top-tier teams. They’ll look to Mid laner Nukeduck to carry heavily yet again; they’d do themselves a favour by locking him in on Varus, who he is 3-0 with this split.

Elements have proven to be as much of a disappointment this split as they were in the Spring. Dubbed a ‘super team’ entering the year, they just barely avoided relegation last split, and despite a complete roster overhaul entering the Summer, have yet to prove they are anything but a team fighting to stay in the division. Consider this: not a single player on Elements boasts a KDA over 3.0, not even legendary Mid laner Froggen. They need someone to step up.

Both of these teams are fighting battles on two fronts; on one hand, they are looking to avoid relegation. On the other, they are part of a mid-table logjam that sees the playoffs as still a distinct possibility. Week 4 domination aside, Elements was unable to channel a 2-0 W5 into a win in W6. Consider them on notice.
