LIT 2025 Summer Playoff Round 1:With the start of the playoff phase, the championship finally lights up, the first best-of-3 and 5 series have shown us which teams are truly capable of taking home the victory.
The Power Rankings remained largely unchanged from the regular season.
Colossal, GMBLERS and ZENA confirmed themselves as the 3 forces of the championship, chased by aNc, AAXL and EKO who struggled and continue to struggle.
LIT 2025 Summer Playoff Round 1: Le Partite
ZENA vs EKO
Everything went as it should have gone in this first Bo3 of the Playoffs, ZENA took home an extremely convincing victory without giving the EKO any hope.
It was Inzuh who particularly shone in this series, giving us two excellent performances on Tristana and Azir respectively.
Little to save in the EKOs, however, all terrible, nothing seems to work and we will hardly see signs of improvement.
AAXL vs aNc
If in the first everything went as it should, in the second the exact opposite happened.
Based on the results of the Regular Season everyone would have expected a victory for the AAXL, even 2-1.
However, it didn’t go that way in the slightest, thanks to the rebirth of Fragola, aNc managed to take home a dry stomp on the lost Solotti.
Now it’s up to them to find the right path against EKO, will they be able to win a place in the Montecatini Terme finals?
aNc vs CG
We almost got credit for it, come on, the first game of the series for the first 15 minutes was a good fight, then the rest went as it should have gone.
It’s the second match to really make us dream, Mr. Paulcannon’s entry in place of Brizz as support gave the team an extra boost.
The aNc who tried until the end but the supremacy of Tyrone and Jeykup was evident.
The third game was a massacre, Brizz’s return brought no benefits and the Colossals took home a dry 3-0.
GMBLERS vs ZENA
The best match so far, hands down, is a hands-in-the-hair series where the two teams beat each other up.
We had confirmation from this Bo5, ZENA are closer to GMBLERS than to AAXL, certainly.
A game 1 dominated by ZENA above all thanks to a great performance by Pericolo who held the team on his shoulders.
Game 2 returns the ball to the center, with FSZ managing to find a great flank on Annie who handed the victory to the GMBLERS.
Game 3 hands in hair, Crem on Smolder tries to work a miracle but the supremacy of all the other players was evident.
From Game 4 the story ends, domino GMBLERS, and the same goes for Game 5 where the ZENA botlane has been totally dominated by the opposing one.
The Next Matches
LIT comes back tomorrow the 7th August 2025 at 18:00 CET with the series between AAXL and EKO who will reveal us the first Team who will be kicked out of the championship!
