Two days that can be worth the ticket to Europe
On the other hand, the League of Legends team arrives in Valencia in second place in the Superliga (9-3) and just one win away from the leader, Ramboot Club. Jandro Fernández-Valdès' team aspires to close the weekend with a run of two wins to zero to secure the TOP 6 and, consequently, the classification in the "Last Chance Qualifier" of the EMEA Masters.
The weekend show will begin at 10:00 AM. on Friday with a match against UCAM Esports (7-5), a direct rival of the Blaugranas who will look to shorten distances in the fight for the top 2 that gives access to the "Main Event" of the EMEA Masters. Saturday will be the turn of the morning session, with a match at 12:00 PM. that will face the Barcelona team with the Zaragoza Zeta Gaming team (3-9). The situation of the Aragonese team forces them to win if they do not want to be condemned to having to play the relegation phase at the end of the season. At the same time, the Blaugrana have already left behind the ghosts of the spring split and are thinking about the national title and classification in Europe.
