FlyQuest, Team SoloMid and Team Liquid each won on Saturday to leave all three at 5-2 and tied for second place in the North American-based League of Legends Championship Series' Summer Split. FlyQuest dominated Evil Geniuses in a critical matchup of 4-2 teams, TSM cruised by Golden Guardians (3-5) for their third straight win and Liquid survived a wild, seesaw battle against Immortals (1-6).

In the day's other match, 100 Thieves (2-6) kept Dignitas (0-7) winless. FlyQuest dispatched EG in 35 minutes on red, racking up 22 kills and seven turrets to just seven and one, respectively, for EG.

TSM handled Golden Guardians in 36 minutes on blue, as bot laner Yiliang "Doublelift" Peng dazzled with a KDA of 8/1/0 as Aphelios. Danish mid laner Soren "Bjergsen" Bjerg chipped in 2/0/6 as Twisted Fate, while Golden Guardians totaled just five kills as a team. Liquid outlasted Immortals in 43 minutes on blue, managing the final swing of momentum in a back-and-forth match. Top laner Eon-yeong "Impact" Jung of South Korea finished with a 1/0/9 KDA as Ornn.

Immortals lost their second straight match since getting their first win last week after promoting their academy roster. 100 Thieves took down Dignitas in 34 minutes on red, with Canadian bot laner Li-Yu "Cody Sun" Sun finishing with 7/1/4 KDA as Ezreal.
