Movistar R7 celebrated a historic victory against 100 Thieves at the 2024 League of Legends World Championship Play-In stage. According to R7 jungler Oddie, their win marks the start of a heartfelt farewell for the LLA, concluding its journey as an independent region on the global stage.

Coming into the match, R7 were not the favorites, but they proved everyone wrong, and as they took down the nexus turrets of 100T, the entire Riot Games Arena in Berlin erupted in cheers. “I wasn’t thinking of beating NA; this victory was for our region and our rookies,” said R7’s jungler and LLA veteran Sebastián “Oddie” Niño in an exclusive interview with Dot Esports.
