However, it was Usejin's signature champion, Corki, who single-handedly turned the tide of the game for Wacky Wraiths. With expertly executed Corki package plays, Usejin flipped the game in his team's favor. Just when it seemed like there was no hope left for Black Manta, a pivotal team fight around the Baron Nashor changed the course of the game entirely.

With the absence of their MVP toplaner in the first game, Ant, many were hopeful that CCG Muffins would rise to the occasion and deliver an upset against the powerhouse team. However, Vitagen showcased their strength and depth, leaving no room for doubt regarding their status as a top contender in the league.
In both games, Vitagen demonstrated exceptional coordination and strategic prowess, resulting in two resounding 30-minute stomps.

The result raises questions about CCG Muffins' potential and leaves fans wondering just how good they can be in the face of formidable opposition.
For Vitagen, this resounding victory solidifies their position as a top team in the league.

The decision, spearheaded by Kaliber, a longstanding member of CCG who recently joined Black Manta after his team CCG Theta Draconis quit Division 2, has left fans and players reflective on the team's legacy and hopeful for the future.

Another interview was conducted with Raind, the current midlaner of CCG Muffins, the team formed under the CCG banner for this final split. Raind shed light on the reasons behind CCG's last hurrah, explaining that the decision was primarily influenced by Kaliber's choice to put CCG on ice. With Kaliber being a central figure in the team's identity, Raind and the rest of the Muffins roster felt it was essential to respect his wishes and allow CCG to rest until Kaliber decides it is time to revive it. Raind acknowledged that CCG wouldn't be the same without key players like Kaliber, GoogleMe, and Sc1lz.

Player's Top 8 - Itchi
The anticipation is soaring as renowned analyst Itchi has dropped his highly anticipated rankings of the top 8 star players in the SLE Split 4 playoffs, one per team. Brace yourselves for a wild ride as we dive into Itchi's controversial list and explore the strengths and weaknesses of each player.
1. Jessie - The Driving Force Behind D5's Success
At the top of the list, we have Jessie, the formidable force behind Dolly5. Itchi believes that the team's fate rests on Jessie's shoulders. With exceptional map awareness and the ability to create opportunities, Jessie has proven himself as a game-changer. His impressive kill/assist statistics speak volumes about the pressure he exerts on his opponents.
2. Dutchh - Vitagen's Unstoppable Dominator
Itchi's second pick is Dutchh from Vitagen, who he claims should be the player the team revolves around. The current meta has worked wonders for Dutchh, and in the games they win, he simply obliterates the enemy team. If Vitagen can successfully facilitate Dutchh's dominance, there may be no team capable of stopping them.
3. JL - The Master of Response and Proactivity
The third spot goes to JL, the exceptional jungler known for his remarkable response plays and proactive approach. While Atserof and Ghost have their own strengths, Itchi believes JL's awareness and shut-down potential make him a standout player. The outcome of matches often hinges on how well opponents can handle JL's relentless aggression.
4. Aeong - WTE's Adaptable and Innovative Star
Moving on, we have Aeong from White Tigers Esports, a player who has impressed Itchi with his adaptability and innovation. Aeong's ability to embrace the meta and bring out pocket picks like Kayle and Soraka showcases his strategic depth. With the right counterpick, Aeong can become a menacing force, making WTE a team to watch out for.
5. Sovonix - Chi's Talented Mage Player in Turbulent Times
Next on the list is Sovonix from Good Chi Gaming. Itchi acknowledges Sovo's immense talent as a mage player but expresses concern about Chi's struggles and the current meta's lack of suitability for Sovo's playstyle. The team's inability to provide him with the necessary support and time could pose challenges. Adaptation and mindset become crucial factors for Sovo's success.
6. Sanixx - CCG's Controlled Chaos Catalyst
Itchi identifies Sanixx as the carry for CCG Muffins, the player who thrives on controlled chaos. Sanixx's aggressive playstyle brings early-game pressure that demands opponents to allocate resources to shut him down. This strategic diversion allows his teammates to scale into the late game. Sanixx acts as the vital spark in a team that prides itself on discipline and control.
7. Sushiekiller - Snek's Instrumental Playmaker
Claiming the seventh spot is Sushie from Snek Pack, a player who has played a pivotal role in the team's victories. Sushie's ability to make plays and unleash surprise picks provides the X-factor that can turn the tide in their favor. Itchi believes Sushie's fearlessness and leadership within the team make him an integral driving force.
8. Linus - BLM's Aggressive Bull in a China Store
Rounding off the list is Linus from Black Manta, touted as the team's star player. While acknowledging his undeniable talent, Itchi raises concerns about Linus' unchecked aggression. BLM's playstyle revolves around facilitating Linus, but his occasionally thoughtless aggression can become a double-edged sword. Linus's performance will be vital in determining the team's success.
As the next round of SLE Split 4 playoffs approach, Itchi's rankings have stirred up heated debates among fans and analysts alike. Will these star players live up to their rankings? Only time will tell as the fierce competition unfolds on the Summoner's Rift. Get ready for an electrifying showcase of talent, teamwork, and unforgettable moments as these players battle it out for glory in the SLE championship!
Linus Hot Take of the Week ''Snek will fall in Play-Offs''
As the SLE Split 4 playoffs heat up, Linus, renowned for his bold predictions, has cast his critical eye on Snek Pack, predicting a hard fall for the team in the playoffs. With Snek Pack set to face Kakapo-Addax in their first playoffs match, doubts arise about their ability to maintain their form and perform under the pressure. Linus emphatically states that Snek Pack's history of coming up short in knockout scenarios cannot be ignored.
"Snek Pack has repeatedly shown their inability to deliver when it matters most in tournaments," asserts Linus, drawing attention to the team's previous disappointments in crucial matches. Despite their regular-season success, Linus questions whether they possess the mental fortitude to thrive in high-pressure situations.
One factor that Linus believes may hinder Snek Pack's playoff aspirations is Saibottob's packed schedule. As one of the team's key player, Saibottob's demanding timetable might make it challenging for the team to find sufficient practice time. Linus argues that this lack of preparation could negatively impact Snek Pack's cohesion and strategic planning, potentially leading to their downfall.
While Linus's prediction certainly raises eyebrows, it remains to be seen if his assessment will come to fruition. Snek Pack's true test lies ahead as they clash with Kakapo-Addax, a team known for their tenacity and skill. Can Snek Pack silence the doubters and defy their tournament curse, or will they succumb to the pressure once again?
Only time will tell if Linus's hot take proves accurate or if Snek Pack can rise above the doubts and prove their mettle on the playoff stage. As fans eagerly await the outcome of this crucial matchup, the tension continues to build. Will Snek Pack break the cycle of disappointment, or are they destined for another playoff heartbreak? Stay tuned as the SLE Split 4 playoffs unfold, delivering thrilling moments and unforeseen twists with each passing game.
