One of the most prestigious and most sought after achievements is undoubtly the World Champion Cup for any Esports team. For a team like RNG, the favorites to win Worlds, were set to collect the Cup to their collection of 1st place titles this year. Sadly, today will be the second time a titan will fall. Following KT's defeat in the hands of IG, RNG has also fallen to EU's 3rd seed G2 in today's second Quarterfinal match.



The match started with an overwhelming victory for RNG at 1:0, however G2 is no pushover and quickly retaliate with a victory resetting the series with a 1:1 score. Despite a level 1 invade by G2, claiming a kill on Uzi, RNG fights back like a hornet, ending the game immediately after they get Baron in a sub-30 minute game. Karsa solo carried the 3rd game but unfortunately his mentality was shattered by G2 by taking a victory back for themselves, once again tying the series at 2:2.

Emotions are at an all time high, not only for RNG and their supporters but everyone who is slightly invested in Worlds are in shock. Today was a monumental day for spectators all over the world, 2 favorites of the tournament were disqualified by 2nd and 3rd seeds, RNG missed out an opportunity to end their year with a perfect run and with half of the members' contracts expiring soon, this may have been the last time this roster will be participating at Worlds. As the day ends, so does a legacy formed by not only their achievements but every individual involved in creating the legacy.
