I guess getting married is one consolation for not making it past the group stage in Worlds.
The winner of this year’s U.S. League of Legends Championship Series tournament is officially out of the game’s 2015 World Championship. Counter-Logic Gaming (CLG) lost its first two games today, meaning they don’t have enough wins to go past the Worlds group stage. They’re playing their final pride match now.
A friendly reminder to all the League of Legends fans: part two of the 2015 World Championship group stage games starts tomorrow at 8:00 am EDT. I’ll be updating our explainer and covering tomorrow’s games as they play out. You can find instructions for how to watch—and read up on what’s happened so far—here. Read more

They also said Kindred’s release is delayed until the 5.20 patch due to “an important, gameplay-impacting issue.” Keep up with Worlds in the meantime with our explainer.
