The opening match of the LoL European Championship (LEC) 2022 Spring playoffs sees Rogue clash with Misfits Gaming on Friday, March 25.

Rogue won the LEC 2022 Spring regular season, and they have a realistic chance to win the whole split. However, their hopes to go all the way and finally lift the trophy will heavily rely on how well jungler Kim “Malrang” Geun-seong will perform and whether he can produce the carry performances we know he is capable of.

Misfits Gaming enter LEC playoffs at the peak of people’s opinions of them, which makes them the team most likely to disappoint. They might impress, but we have to acknowledge that Misfits’ roster is one of the least experienced when it comes to LEC playoffs.

The Bunnies still have a solid roster that can go toe-to-toe with any team, but they lack star players who can make a difference. Mid laner Vincent “Vetheo” Berrié might be an exception, but he alone won’t achieve much.

Misfits have shown incredible growth this season, and we expect them to do well next split. Unfortunately, it’s hard to believe they will win more than one map against Rogue, who are serious candidates to go all the way this year.
