Final standings of day 1 play-in stage from League of Legends World Championships 2021

Group A of the play-in stage went by as per the expectations of several professionals and analysts. LNG Esports (Li-Ning Gaming) and HLE (Hanwha Life Esports) had the strongest performances from Group A, even though in the opening match where they went head-to-head against each other, LNG came out on top.

RED Canids ended up with a surprise victory over Infinity Esports, who performed quite poorly. PEACE did not have any luck as they got absolutely demolished by LNG on day one.

Group B had very similar results in terms of expectations. DetonatioN FocusMe had an easy victory over Unicorns of Love. Galatasaray Esports brought in the Turkish heat as they crushed their competition with ease.

Lastly, Cloud9 showcased some top-tier League of Legends with a monstrous victory over DetonatioN FocusMe. They made it clear that North America will not go down lightly in League of Legends Worlds 2021.

This was a statement return for Perkz since many doubted him after a poor showing at MSI 2021. However, his 8/0/2 performance on Sylas shows that Perkz is ready to take his revenge.

It is vital to note that not all teams played an equal number of matches on day one, and therefore, while some teams had easy match-ups, others did not. Accordingly, the standings might change quite a lot on day two and day three.
