With the All-Star Event coming up this weekend, we have been provided a rough schedule for what to expect. However, it seems like some key information have been left out of the opening match between the NA vs EU Regional Rivalry Show Match but who exactly will be playing in the match were left out.





Luckily, the full roster of this match was available on the Chinese League of Legends website and it is an interesting one.

Pros from the NA side include Licorice, Sneaky and Doublelift while EU has Broxah, Jiizuke and Caps representing them. Influencers for NA are the donger himself, Michael "Imaqtpie" Santana as well as Rabia "Nightblue3" Yazbek and, representing EU will be Mike "Wickd" Petersen and Frederik "NoWay" Hinteregger from the ESLM.





Some interesting aspects of this match include:





Old guard vs New blood

Licorice vs Wickd





This is the realization of the classic “old guard versus new blood” saying. Wickd, who has contributed tremendously to the League of Legends and Esports in general as one of the star Top Laners of Europe. As a rookie, the star Top Laner of Cloud 9 is no slouch either, having reached the Semifinal of Worlds in his first year of professional play.

NA ADCs and EU Mids

Sneaky vs Jiizuke





If there is anything Sneaky is known for it is playing ADC for Cloud 9 and cosplay, he will be doing none of the above in this opening match against EU. He will instead be playing in the mid lane against Jiizuke. On the bright side, Sneaky is known to flex Mid in solo queue with Viktor, but with recent nerfs to the champion, Jiizuke certainly has more of an advantage.

Doublelift vs Perkz





This matchup is the vice versa of Sneaky vs Jiizuke as it is EU player Caps that is on the off-role this time. Recently announced to have joined G2, this will be the first event that he will be participating since the team change. Ironically, it was his counterpart Perkz that had officially swapped to the ADC role going into the LEC next year. Doublelift will hopefully show us that G2 made the right choice by keeping Caps in the mid lane.





Imaqtpie vs NoWay4u







Another example of NA ADC vs an EU Mid. The only difference is that the last time Imaqtpie was playing in the LCS was in 2014 while NoWay is still currently competing in the ESLM. With both of them playing support and being the same age, it is undoubtedly going to be interesting to see how much their different playstyles can offer.





The All-star Event will begin this weekend in Las Vegas and will be streaming on all LoLesports platforms.
