Led by MVP front-runner Kenneth “Kenny Got Work” Hailey, the Uprising have been nothing short of remarkable this season, only dropping three of the 21 games they’ve played over the span of their nine matches. One of the strengths of the team this season has been its ability to adjust midway through a match. Dropping a game to an opponent has often allowed the Uprising to compose themselves, make a few tweaks and then come out and win afterwards.
Lakers Gaming should be a cakewalk for the Uprising, but the problem lies in Blazer5 Gaming, one of only three teams that’s taken a game off the Uprising, including the opener of last week’s match between the two.
