Vitality defeats Misfits in a vital game to get to 4-4 in the 2022 LEC Spring Split. Vitality has steadily climbed the split ranks from their opening 0-3 week. And their opponents today have been a pleasant surprise in the hunt for the LEC's top five spots. Misfits took an early lead in this vital head-to-head encounter when jungler Shlatan assisted AD in carrying Neon to a kill on Vitality's Labrov for first blood. Vitality countered this by grabbing a kill on the upper side of the Rift. Both League of Legends teams proceeded to discover advantages in different regions of the map, effectively halting the early game.
Misfits overcame Vitality's early onslaught thanks to Neon and Vetheo's late-game damage. However, Vitality defeated the Nexus a few minutes later, at the 28-minute mark, to earn a crucial victory. Vitality is currently tied for the fourth position with Misfits, as the race for playoff placement heats up.
