Vikin.gg is the leader of their group, and Just Error almost lost their chances to make to the Epic League playoff
The third game week of Epic League Division 1 has ended. The position of the teams in the group has changed a lot; even the leader has changed.
At the end of the group stage, 4 teams will advance to the upper bracket playoffs, 4 more teams will play in the Play-in stage, where they will draw 2 tickets to the playoffs, and the last 2 teams will be relegated to the second division.
Group leaders
Last week, 5 teams at once had a good chance of advancing to the upper bracket playoffs. Now the situation has changed. The new leader of the group, ??Vikin.gg, has already secured a place in the upper bracket playoffs, and two more participants, ??Team Secret and ??Virtus Pro, are very close to that.
Group averages
At the end of the game week, 4 teams will compete for one ticket to the playoffs at once. ??Nigma and ??Natus Vincere have the most promising situation: the first one has a 4:3 statistic and the latter one — 3:3. In case of a good performance next week, the fight for a ticket will go between these two teams. In case of a bad performance, ??OG and ??Team Liquid will get their chance. It is worth saying that last week ??Team Liquid was the main contender for relegation to the second division, but the team could pull themselves together and win all the past week's matches.
Group outsiders
Three teams fight for survival in the tournament at once: ??Alliance, ??Mudgolems, and ??Just Error . At the moment, ??Mudgolems has the best situation: the team has 2 matches in reserve, and it has one less defeat than the others. ??Alliance and ??Just Error each have one match in reserve. Now the teams need to win and hope for ??Mudgolems' defeats.
The end of the Epic League's fourth game week will be extremely interesting, but it will begin after the break, which will last until December 3.
