Day 1 of Worlds 2022 came to a climactic end with Saigon Buffalo and DRX emerging victorious.

Both DRX and Buffalo have kicked off their Worlds 2022 runs with a win each.

Saigon Buffalo went up against Istanbul Wildcats in the penultimate match of the day.

Wildcats proceeded to get a kill against Saigons Froggy, giving the team a 2-1 killcount very early on.

Saigon made up for it by playing aggressively, fishing for kills and gold at every opportunity.

This was a slower midgame than weve seen in other matches.

Wildcats early-game bloodlust was commendable but unfortunately, did not pay off in a victory for the team.

Thats the fun part about Day 1, watching teams make and break new records all over the place.

That made two surprisingly repetitive back-to-back kills for RNG.

Unbelievable:

This was definitely one of the longest matches weve seen today.

DRX stole yet another dragon from RNG and ran with that win right into the enemy base.

DRX won this one.

RNG ends the day with one loss, while DRX starts strong with a win.
