After an awful week one, Alliance starts the second week redeeming themselves in a convincing victory against Millenium, while ROCCAT uses their innovation to take out Supa Hot Crew.
[M] vs. [A]
Araneae started off the game on the wrong foot by attempting creativity with his Pantheon pick, but then feeding first blood to the bottom lane of Alliance by miscalculating damage. Alliance continued to seize the advantage by taking the first dragon of the game, taking an early 2k gold lead against Millenium. Millenium answered to this by grabbing the first tower of the game.
Constant teamfights progressed with similar items on bruisers coming out top lane despite the nerfs. At one point, Froggen narrowly escaped a close encounter, but was finished off by the big wolf. A bit of greed from Millenium allowed Alliance to grab an easy baron. Alliance were able to grab 4 towers during their baron duration and figured out how to drive the win home, taking their first win in the LCS.
ROC vs. SHC
While ROCCAT's pick of Mordekaiser shocked the crowd and was all around cute, Supa Hot Crew were showing dominance in the early game. At ten minutes, it was 3 kills to 1 ROCCAT, with Supa Hot Crew also grabbing the dragon. However, the gold difference between teams was negligible. Like last game, the team that didn't get first dragon managed to get first tower, allowing ROCCAT to pull ahead in gold.
Despite SHC's commanding lead of dragons, the gold difference was still very miniscule.When teamfights started becoming frequent, ROCCAT were able to seize a hefty lead by taking towers and dragons after winning fights. Overzealous with their lead, ROCCAT managed to get a baron stole from them, swinging things in the opposite favor. With unusual picks and coming back from losing a baron, ROCCAT were still able to roll through Supa Hot Crew.
