April 22nd \u2013 2AM PST \/ 5AM EST \/ 2PM CST<\/strong><\/p>\nThe second match of the week will be between EDward Gaming and Rogue Warriors, the former taking the first seed of their group while the latter taking the second seed. That being said, as head to head matchups go, EDG has lost to RW 0-2. EDG\u2019s record is actually worse than Rogue Warriors\u2019 with RW\u2019s total number of games being quite a bit lower than most teams. That means RW will close out most series in a faster manner, something that can easily be seen as a double edged sword.<\/p>\n
EDG has struggled in the regular season even with veteran name such as Meiko, iBoy and Clearlove who is currently a substitute. However, EDG does strictly follow the meta when it comes to champion selections, barring iBoy\u2019s famous Kog\u2019maw. The win condition for EDG would be to assist both iBoy and Scout to mid game power spikes so that teamfights will come out in favor of EDG. It is a blessing that their top laner Ray has such a large champion pool to play with so that top lane versatility is a benefit. <\/p>\n
Rogue Warriors on the other hand also has a handful of well known players including Smlz, Mouse, Flawless and Doinb. Each player individually does not stand out necessarily but their playstyle is similar to EDG in that they adhere strictly to meta champions. That being said, teamfighting is also the gameplay of RW, and the battle will definitely become the jungle\/mid\/bot fights rather than the top lane, as both top laners have a severely lower KP% than most players. However, the main focus will be if Flawless can match up to Haro\u2019s jungle pressure.<\/p>\n
When matchup up side to side, EDG and RW are incredibly similar in playstyle, champion pools and win percentages. However, EDG will have an edge this weekend in a 3-1 victory because of RW\u2019s sloppy quarterfinal match coming into this week coupled with the fact that EDG was on an upswing during the latter parts of the split while RW were on a downswing.<\/p>\n
