The League of Legends World Championship 2023 Play-in stage has already been filled with exciting, unexpected twists and plenty of pentakills. The latest solo ace sealed the fate of LLA representatives Movistar R7 in favor of VCS’ first seed GAM Esports on Oct. 13. In the first elimination match at Worlds this year, GAM crushed R7 to live another day and their ADC’s pentakill made sure of their survival.
In a thrilling series that ended with a 2-0 victory for the VCS representatives, GAM’s performance was nothing short of dominant and precise, demonstrating to League fans how great they can be on the Rift. While every performance across the map was crucial to their victory, the most electrifying moment occurred in the closing moments of the match when GAM’s ADC, Nguyễn “Slayder” Linh Vương, pulled off a spectacular pentakill with his Xayah.
