Fnatic take a convincing victory over 2nd place EU team SK Gaming? to prove they still have what it takes.
The fourth week of LCS kicked off with none other than "el classico" between Fnatic and SK Gaming. Contrary to the performance the current standings would suggest, Fnatic were utterly stomping to kick off this bout. SK Gaming's strong objective play still allowed them to stay close in towers, but Fnatic maintained a vision lead through the use of 4 red trinkets and one blue trinket.
In addition, Fnatic had a nearly 20k gold lead at the peak of the game, but had trouble closing out due to the lack of sieging power of Twitch and Twisted Fate against Ziggs. Eventually, they were able to sweep the game.
Game two was Millenium vs. Supa Hot Crew where Millenium kicked it off with 2 kills. Millenium also took the first turret of the game, but Supa Hot Crew swung it around and acquired two of their own before Millenium took down their second.
While Millenium had the lead initially, Supa Hot Crew pulled themselves together and almost surmounted a comeback. Unfortunately for them, they had a poor baron call where Millenium was able to clean them up at baron pit and take them out.
The final game would be a rekindled "CLG.Eu vs. M5-esque" rivalry with Alliance facing off against Gambit Gaming. To enhance the nostalgia even further, the match felt classic with Froggen playing on Anivia and Gambit Gaming's Darien feeding in the top lane.
While Gambit Gaming had been slumping for the entire season, especially after the loss of star mid-laner Alex Ich, they were able to pull together and take an upset victory over the strongest team in the European LCS.
