    Our Mastering Runeterra Open is coming up later today, and the meta has shaped out to have a lot of slightly-below-top dogs jockeying for the top of the pile. With the meta cycle in full swing, the boys discuss what they've noticed as of late, what they expect for the MaRu open, and what implications (if any) that may have for your Day 1 run of the Riot Open next week!
