This split takes place from June 17 to August 14, 2022.  

The summer split for Rogue didn't start too well. Having lost in the opening match to G2 Esports, the guys were not too upset. Falling already on the second day to Fnatic, there were doubts about their performance, but on the final day, Rogue won over MAD Lions, 2-1. The guys started the second week with a win over Misfits Gaming, 2-2. At the end of the week, Rogue faced Astralis, whom they beat without too much trouble, going 3-2. Week 3 started with a significant victory over Excel. At the end of the week, the guys defeated SK Gaming, who played with a substitution. Week 4 began with a win against Team Vitality, solidifying Rogue in the first place. At the end of the week, Rogue continued their winning streak by defeating Team BDS. In week five, Rogue picked up another win by beating Fnatic, but things didn't go according to plan at the end of the week. G2 Esports stopped Rogue's winning streak and gave them a lot of trouble. Right now, Rogue is contending for first place, along with the MAD Lions. Today the guys will meet Misfits Gaming.

Rogue is an American cybersports organization owned by ReKTGlobal and its partners. When the LEC franchise competition was announced, Rogue entered League of Legends in 2019. This team had a rough start to the franchise, winning just 2 of 18 games. They finished 10th, behind Excel Esports, with a 5-13 record. Looking ahead to summer 2019, Rogue promoted most of their Rogue Esports Club lineup, taking 9-12 places at the EU Masters 2019 Spring. The team finished 4th in that split, beating Splyce 3-0 before losing 1-3 against FC Schalke 04 Esports. In the spring of 2021, Rogue signed Odoamne from FC Schalke 04 Esports and picked Trymbi from their academic team AGO ROGUE. Rogue tied with G2 Esports in the regular season at 14-4, but the team began the playoffs with a 1-3 loss against the MAD Lions. After making it through the bottom grid, Rogue beat FC Schalke 04 Esports 3-1 and G2 Esports 3-1 but lost to the MAD Lions, 3-2. In the summer of 2021, Rogue finished 3rd and qualified for Worlds 2021. With a 1-2 result in both phases of the round-robin system at Worlds, Rogue was forced to play in tie-breaks, where they knocked off FunPlus Phoenix before losing a tight 54-minute game against Cloud9 and finishing 9-12.

Rogue had a great spring split. After taking first place in the overall standings, with a score of 14-4, the guys made the playoffs, where they beat Misfits Gaming 3-1 and Fnatic 3-2 being one step away from MSI 2022. However, G2 Esports defeated Rogue 3-0 on maps in the final, leaving them without a trip to the World Championship. The organization did not make any substitutions before the summer split.

The beginning of the summer split for Misfits Gaming was awful. They lost their opening match to Excel without making a single kill. After this defeat, Misfits Gaming couldn't wake up until the end of the week, falling to Team Vitality was just as devastating. By the third game, the guys started moving but lost to Astralis. The second game of the week began with another defeat - from Rogue. At the end of the week, Misfits Gaming still won over SK Gaming. At the beginning of week three, Misfits Gaming confidently beat Team BDS, 2-4. At the end of the week, Misfits Gaming sensationally crashed MAD Lions, going 3-4. Week 4 began with another resounding victory over Fnatic, 4-4, which gives them a good chance for the playoffs. At the end of the week, Misfits Gaming outplayed G2 Esports, which put the guys in contention for third place in the overall standings, now contested by four teams. At the beginning of the fifth week, Misfits Gaming lost to Excel, thus breaking their winning streak, but that was only the beginning. Team Vitality made the guys' losing series complete, defeating Misfits Gaming at the end of the week, and also sent them to sixth place, contested by two other teams. Today Misfits Gaming will meet Rogue, who are currently leading the standings.

Misfits Gaming is a European team. They were previously known as Misfits. Misfits were formed in May 2016 to participate in the EUCS summer qualifying tournaments after their former organization Renegades was banned from competitive gaming and therefore could no longer compete as Renegades: Banditos. They finished first in their group in qualification and then beat EURONICS Gaming 3: 1 in the finals and successfully entered the summer season. The organization had a great showing in its early years, but after the formation of the LEC, things changed. From 2019 to 2021, the organization has only once taken a fifth-place finish in the 2021 Summer Split.

Misfits Gaming had a very successful spring split this year. The organization ended the group stage in third place, with a score of 12-6, thus starting the playoffs from the top of the grid. In the first match, the guys lost to Rogue 3-1, which sent them to the bottom grid, where G2 Esports already demolished them 3-0 on the cards, thus Misfits Gaming took fourth place in this split. Before the summer split, the organization made only one substitution.

We recommend considering the following options: a total frags under (25.5), a frags handicap 1 (-7.5), and the duration of the map under 33 minutes.
