League of Legends LCS Lock-In 2021: Evil Geniuses vs Team Liquid

Evil Geniuses barely stood a chance as Team Liquid's Jo "Correjj" Yong-in popped from the support role, earning himself the "Best Player of the Series" award. Team Liquid stuck with their strategy of Jayce, Udyr, and Thresh for the first two victories.

Evil Geniuses tried to pull off their Gnar-Olaf combo twice. However, given how underpowered Gnar is at the moment, the draft didn't seem to work at all. Team Liquid was quick to capitalise on Evil Geniuses shortcomings, and secured the series with a comfortable 3-0 scoreline.

The results from the three matches are:

• Game 1 - Team Liquid began the day with a 30-minute victory over Evil Geniuses (1-0)
• Game 2 - Team Liquid further solidified their lead after this 25-minute one-sided match of League of Legends (2-0)
• Game 3 - Team Liquid put the series to bed with another thumping 25-minute victory over Evil Geniuses. (3-0)
