NNO Miracle Run - Prime League 2nd Division Summer 2022 Results

Prime League 2nd Division Summer 2022 ended on August 23, and No Need Orga, a team made up of popular German LoL streamers, became the champion. The media called the NNO's victory a "Miracle run", and it is true, because the road of the team to the title was incredibly difficult and full of funny situations. At the same time, such an unusual grand final attracted more than 91K Peak Viewers, twice as many as the First Division, which is a new record set in the German league.

NNO lineup:

Frederik "NoWay" Hinteregger (554.7K followers) is the Top 1 German LoL streamer by Hours Watched and the Top 2 streamer of the German language segment on Twitch in 2022.
Niklot "Tolkin" Stüber (208K followers) is the Top 2 German LoL streamer by Hours Watched in 2022.
Muhammed "Agurin" Kocak (206.1K followers) is the Top 3 German LoL streamer by Hours Watched in 2022.
Daniel "Broeki" Broekmann (202.8K followers) is the Top 7 German LoL streamer by Hours Watched in 2022.
Lukas "Karni" Steininger (36.8K followers) is the Top 20 German LoL streamer by Hours Watched in 2022.

No Need Orga took sixth place in the group and barely made it to the quarterfinals of the playoffs lower bracket. The team defeated KIT SC, Sprout, and Eintracht Frankfurt on their way to the Grand final, with the last two matches ending with a 3:2 score. The title match against Hertha BSC, the strongest team in the group stage and the Spring Split champion, began with a win followed by two losses. NNO, having no margin for error, began to make even riskier, but right decisions. For example, on the fourth map, NoWay4u single-handedly destroyed the opponents' Nexus, taking advantage of the right moment.

One of the funny moments related to the NNO championship is that NoWay4u played the tournament while at Gamescom in Cologne. And the players used Google on the fifth map of the Grand final to find a counterpick against the enemy Olaf, which made Broeki emotional.

First place at Prime League 2nd Division Summer 2022 gives Team NNO a chance to advance to the First Division of the league, fighting Wave Esports, PENTA 1860 and Hertha BSC at Prime League 2023 Promotion Tournament in September.
