A huge scare, 2 Barons, and an NA throw: LoL’s new Worlds Swiss stage opens with a bang
The 2023 League of Legends World Championship Swiss stage is here and the first game between T1 and Team Liquid delivered in a big way. Despite claiming two Barons and being somewhat in control of the match, Liquid couldn’t overcome T1’s teamfighting and eventually lost to the Korean side.
The North American representatives proved they were more than capable of going toe to toe against T1 in the Swiss stage’s opening series. Liquid matched T1’s aggression and Pyosik’s smart picks on Lee Sin allowed his team to secure two Barons and—for a brief moment—take the driving wheel.
