This unfortunately marks the end of Misfits&rsquo; playoffs run &#8211; however, they show a lot of promise heading into the Summer Split, and with a little work they could become an incredibly threatening team.<\/p>\n<p>Rogue managed to take their wins in stylish form; with AD Carry Steven &#8220;Hans Sama&#8221; Liv putting on a masterclass in his signature Draven pick in game three (despite some hiccups in the laning phase).<\/p>\n<p>However, it was top laner Finn &#8220;Finn&#8221; Wiestal who took the player of the series award. His strong topside carry performances on Renekton and Kled, indicative of the top-focused early game style that has become Rogue&rsquo;s bread and butter, allowed their bot lane to scale relatively undisturbed into a late-game carry force to be reckoned with.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the scoreline, however, it is important to note that these victories game from long, hard-fought games, and despite advancing further into playoffs, it doesn&rsquo;t look as though Rogue will be able to challenge for a finals spot into early-game teams like Fnatic and MAD.<\/p>\n<div data-oembed-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LEC\/status\/1246874721364455425\"><twitter-widget class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\" id=\"twitter-widget-3\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden; display: block; transform: rotate(0deg);\"><\/twitter-widget><\/p>\n<blockquote align=\"center\" class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\" data-twitter-extracted-i1586183515405343816=\"true\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Who was your <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Kia_Motors?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Kia_Motors<\/a> Player of the Series in <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Rogue?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Rogue<\/a>&#8216;s win against <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MisfitsGG?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@MisfitsGG<\/a>? <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/LEC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#LEC<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; LEC (@LEC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LEC\/status\/1246874721364455425?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 5, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coming into this weekend&rsquo;s LEC playoff games, not a lot was decided in terms of ranking.
