Vitality.Bee: Must Keep Second Place
The VitalityBee journey in the summer split started very well. The guys defeated Mirage Elyandra in the first week, and at the end of it - Solary, making it 2:0. The second week also went off without a problem. Misfits Premier couldn't fight back in a meaningful way on the first game day, while Team Oplon tried to do something, but it wasn't enough. The third week started with a loss against GameWard, but later the guys pulled themselves together and took the winning points from Team GO, going 5-1.

The guys were unlucky in the match against LDLC OL, but the next opponents were less harsh.

In week five, VitalityBee defeated Mirage Elyandra and Solary, securing their position at the top of the overall standings. Week 6 began with a loss to Misfits Premier. At the end of the week, the guys recovered by beating Team Oplon and GameWard at the beginning of week seven. Then, VitalityBee fell to Team GO.

VitalityBee is the academic roster of Team Vitality. They appeared in 2019 and got into the LFL right away. VitalityBee had a pretty good tryout. They made the playoffs in their first split but finished only in fifth place. After that, the team steadily made the LFL playoffs and occasionally finished in the top spot.
The 2022 spring split for VitalityBee came out well. After finishing 5th overall, the guys made the playoffs, where a 3-0 win on the maps against Misfits Premier allowed VitalityBee to enter the EU Masters from the Play-In stage. The EU Masters itself went much better for the guys. After getting through the Play-In stage in the first place, VitalityBee showed the same result in the main stage, thus advancing to the playoffs. VitalityBee had no problems in the first round, defeating Fnatic TQ 3-0 on maps. The semifinals, on the other hand, were a mess. Karmine Corp stopped their opponents with a 3-2 and soon became the EU Masters Spring Split champions. Before the summer split, the organization decided not to make any substitutions, leaving the lineup unchanged.
LDLC OL: the Only Defeat
LDLC OL's journey on this split began smoothly. In the first week, the guys won in a close encounter with Team BDS Academy, but they did not get further than an easy walk. Team Oplon also fought back seriously but still could not win. The second week started much better. Mirage Elyandra tried to do something, but it wasn't enough, and Solary couldn't even match anything. The third week started with an unrealistically close win against Team GO, and at the end of the week, LDLC OL defeated Misfits Premier, thus going 6-0 at the end of three weeks. This super week, which fell on the fourth game week, saw the guys face VitalityBee, GameWard, and Karmine Corp.

Week 5 was pretty easy for LDLC OL as they faced Team BDS Academy and Team Oplon, who were at the bottom of the overall standings at the time. Week 6 also went without a loss. After beating Mirage Elyandra and Solary, LDLC OL went on a streak of 13 straight wins. At the beginning of the seventh week, Team GO could break the winning streak of LDLC OL, but the guys were not too upset. At the end of the week, LDLC OL beat Misfits Premier, and in week eight, when there was only one match, LDLC OL defeated GameWard. Week 9 will start with a game against VitalityBee, who can be beaten easily.
