Given the incredibly high level of competition in the LCK, it seems that T1 might just not be able to qualify for MSI this year, with HLE, DK, and GEN seemingly dominating the region.
Following several weeks of matches in the Spring Regular Season, we have seen some incredible developments, and given the Fearless Draft changes that have further elevated the competitive experience for both players and fans, League of Legends Esports is looking to become quite the powerhouse.

Winner: DRX
One of the most entertaining games in a while as both teams seemed evenly-matched. Chaotic team fights, nail-biting skirmishes and many many neutral objectives claimed, this series had it all. In the end, DRX was able to come out on top after 35 minutes of back to back action, leading the series 1-0.

Winner: DRX
Another even-sided game between the two very fun to watch teams. Although BFX seemed to have a lot more control this time around, DRX somehow found some miracle fights secured them a small lead over the opposing team.
Not only did the game pass the 40-minute mark again, but another great teamfight for DRX around the dragon secured them their opportunity to push down BFX' base and claim the 2-0 victory in this series.
