ALTERNATE humiliate EG on the final LCS day of the weekend

?
Not even giving up a kill until the game didn't even matter anymore, ALTERNATE showed flawless play against the heavily prepared Evil Geniuses and completely crushed them.

The game before the final game would be one that may be difficult for Evil Geniuses fans to watch.  Though some teams tend to take a nosedive or at the very least not do very well during the same weekend of LCS after an initial defeat, especially after a collosal upset like ATN had versus SK gaming last night, ALTERNATE was an exception.  Saying they seemed to have recovered would be an understatement.

Even after Evil Geniuses tweeting that they had prepared very hard for the current week, their performance was "pathetic" as Mike Wickd Petersen put it.  In a less than ideal showing, they would find themselves falling behind as soon as objectives were contested.  While managing to stay alive at the very least early on, it wouuldn't take long before ATN would be spinning circles around ATN.

Eventually it was 17 kills for ATN before EG drew blood and by then ATN's victory was already inevitable.  ATN engraved in stone exactly why they are the top rated team in the EU LCS by showcasing an incredible amount of skill and synergy while also showing that they are not vulnerable to slumping after a rough loss.  After several barons and small victories at every possible angle, ATN took the win and secured their lead even further.

Lemondogs vs. MeetYourMakers

The final game of the night would be MeetYourMakers up against Lemondogs.  While MeetYourMakers are still performing quite well, they have been seeming to lose a little bit of thunder.  MeetYourMakers kicked off the season with astounding aggression, looking confident in every play.  Though Lemondogs were set behind after a large majority of the game, it didn't seem that way.

The game was a giant stalemate, although not dull, for the vast majority of the early game.  Kills and objectives were traded back and forth but at the expensve of MeetYourMaker's confidence.  As the game crawled forward, MeetYourMakers acquired a gigantic lead that was seemingly invisible to them.  Having nearly a 10% gold lead the entire game did not deter MYM away from passivity.

Though MYM could have ended the game sooner, they left doors open far too long for Lemondogs, providing opportunities for success that wouldn't have otherwise been there.  Eventually and painfully slowly, they pushed advantages and prevented any throwing plays at baron or any overaggression pushing up to the base of Lemondogs.  MYM was eventually able to close out the game slow and steady.
