MLG Match Previews: The Calm Before The Storm

All great tournaments build up from hype, and this one is no different



MLG, as one of the most profound e-sports organizations, is showcasing 8 of the top teams from all over the globe in this year's MLG Fall Championship. The matches can go in anyone's favor, but the question is will they?

From David vs. Goliath stories to infamous rivalries, this weekend will have some mind-blowing action that should satiate any competitive enthusiast's bloodlusting tastebuds.

an excerpt of the feature:

NaJin Sword vs CLG Prime



Sword roster and their champions
Korea Maknoon (Top): jayce nidalee
Korea Watch (Jungle): nocturne maokai
Korea Cain (Support): leona sona
Korea Ssong (AP): ryze karthus
Korea Pray (AD): corki ezreal
CLG Prime roster and their champions
Canada HotShotGG (Top): nidalee chogath
Canada Bigfatlp (AP): orianna anivia
United States Chauster (Jungle): xerath leesin
United States Doublelift (AD): vayne caitlyn
Korea Locodoco (Support): corki tristana



This one, at first impression, looks dauntingly difficult for CLG.Prime to surpass. Let's keep in mind that they are trying to shift away from the gimmicks and focus more on standard play. On top of that, they introduced Chauster to his least successful role and brought Locodoco to an unfamiliar role as well, accompanying Doublelift in the bottom.

The two seem to have bonded well thus far, however as any team would be, they will hopefully have familiarized themselves hastily or bite the bullet against the Korean powerhouse NaJin Sword. From the experience CLG has had in Korea, no doubt they are the NA team with the tools required to take them down, having experienced scrimming against the powerful teams in Korea, but have they acquired the work ethic and team synergy to take them down? Time will only tell as we see how the current roster unravels for CLG NA.





Regardless of the outcome, the matches are bound to be epic and you can keep track of all the action without missing a blink by visiting our Coverage Hub.
