Ahhh the beloved Group of Death. So much story in this group. The winningest Worlds team in history, the most storied LPL team, and the season one Worlds winners, and the LCS Cowboys! Who could possibly get MVP here?
With SKT qualifying right out of the gate, FNC and RNG were going to have to fight for the last spot! And after an exciting game, the home crowd favorites, FNC, take the win and advance to Madrid!
After a near hour of game-play (and a lot of Infinity Edges), Clutch's Nexus fell. While it was an incredibly difficult road they needed to travel to make it to Madrid, it would've been a beautiful one if they did. Alas, they join their fellow NA reps, Cloud9, on the trip back to LA instead.
SKT came in to the second Round Robin with a 3-0 record, needing only to beat either RNG or FNC to secure a place in the Knockout Stage. As fate would have it, they beat RNG in their first game!
Tarzan: The King of the Jungle. He was first on some people's player tier list, he wasn't even on others'. But for us - for today - he is MVP. Why Tarzan over the rest of GRF? Check it out:

The third official Group of Death is over. Why Group of Death, you ask? Simply because of all the INTeresting play! Splyc and FPX make it out at the end, with Vizicsacsi earning MVP!
Well one thing is for sure, Group B has been... entertaining. What looked like FPX domination almost ended with an FPX emilination! But in their final matches, they went 2-0 to qualify for the Knockout Stage as the first seed!
After being tied for first in their group coming into the second Round Robin of the Group Stage at Worlds, J Team was eliminated after losing to Splyce and FunPlus Phoenix, both of whom qualified for the knockout stage.
FunPlus Phoenix defeated GAM Esports in their opening match and J Team in their last, sending them to a tiebreaker with Splyce for first seed in the Knockout Stage.
The second Round Robin for Group B brought great news for European fans as Splyce went 3-0 to start, becoming the first to qualify for the Knockout Round in this Worlds tournament.
In the first day of the second Round robin, Group B fights for a qualification to the Worlds 2019 Knockout Stage. GAM Esports was the first team from the group to fall, FPX, J Team, and Splyce fight for the remaining two spots.
