Dark Sided will have the confidence of their final week league play win over Legacy, who are at a psychological disadvantage on just about every level going into these finals. Cyrix in particular has been so close yet so far so many times, dating back to pre-RLCS competition. More recently, Legacy made a huge run through the Open Series gauntlet before blowing a 2-1 series lead against the Chiefs, and of these final four teams they only had a league play series win over Tainted Minds. Not that Dark Sided have fared much better, racking up second place finish after second place finish through the Open Series and Gfinity. I think they’ll take a second place here, as it will still book a trip to wherever the LAN is being held, but neither squad has proven themselves on the biggest of stages and the winner here may come down to composure ttps://www.onlinegameshop.com/rocket-league-items .
On paper, Legacy are the superior squad. They led Throwdown in goals per game and assists per game, showing both individual skills and fantastic team synergy. Their team 33% shooting percentage was easily best in the region. The big surprise was Delusion, who broke out from the OCE bubble in style with the second highest goals per game in the region at a monstrous 1.11, just ahead of teammate Cyrix with 1.04. Siki was a pedestrian 9th in the region for goals with “only” 0.78 per game, but he made up for it in assists, tying for second with teammate Delusion. If it wouldn’t be a massive injustice to not give season MVP to one of the Chiefs (likely Drippay) then Delusion would be hot favourite for the award, a huge achievement for a player who was winning the Vapour-Nordic league with Lynx last time RLCS league play was taking place.
