Team BDS dropping out of playoff contention

BDS managed to win the opening game of the series, but they were unable to repeat it in the next two games. In games two and three, Astralis likewise performed admirably, with excellent draughts and even greater teamwork on the Summoner's Rift. With his traditional Olaf pick, DS top laner Adam Maanane looked fantastic, but in game three, he was repeatedly ganked and sent back while his opponent's laner profited. He had four deaths, two assists, and no kills at the end of the third and final game.

In contrast, Astralis has entirely reversed their fortunes as a result of this separation. This team, like BDS, has been in last place in the regular season rankings since 2021, but recent player changes have given them a more determined and prepared appearance to play their own brand of League.
