213-1400430849.jpeg

Curse cannot help themselves as Complexity moves close to the final playoff spot, and EG take down the red hot Cloud 9 to inch themselves towards a higher seeding as the season comes to an end. As well as LMQ displaying that no off the rift problems can effect their play as they dismantle TSM.

 

- The firs game of superweek was between Curse and Complexity, both teams fighting for a playoff spot. Curse start up an early dragon but it gets stolen by complexity, and shortly afterwards Curse engage Complexities bottom lane, but Prolly roams down getting a double kill. Afterwards, Complexity is able to continually secure dragons and Baron.

After getting Baron Complexity is able to take mid tier 2 turret, but unable to take the bottom lane tier 2 turret, and are forced to settle with another dragon. Curse are able to set up a good initiate onto Complexity killing 4 members and only losing two, but with how low the Curse members were they could not secure any objectives. Curse engage onto Complexity while they are baroning , but Complexity peels off then re-engage onto Curse to get a kill onto Dominate and secure the baron. Afterwars, Complexity are able to get picks in Curse's base to end the game giving them a head to head advantage.

 

- The second game of the day was between second place Cloud 9 and last place Evil Geniuses. The game begins with Helios invading 4 minutes in, but Cloud 9 have wards on them and are able to get an easy first blood. However, EG are able to take a lead when they engage onto Cloud 9 while they are taking dragon, killing meteos and taking the dragon for themselves. C9 are able to take 2 turrets in mid, but as they retreat EG get a flank onto them killing 2 members and then take baron and another kill onto Meteos as he tries to steal the baron.

  EG use baron to take tier 2 turrets across the map and begin to set up ward control. Once baron respawns C9 take it, but EG are able to kill three members and take the top inhibitor turret and inhibitor. After several failed seiges EG are able to get a flash engage by Pobelter to start a teamfight that results in an ace for EG while only losing Pobelter. EG push straight down mid lane after getting an ace to secure the game and help themselves to get a playoff spot.

 

- LMQ played TSM in a match that could decide first place in the third game of the day. LMQ are able to get a first blood with a gank onto TSM's bottom lane, and shortly afterwards they take an uncontested dragon to give them a lead. Once LMQ got a lead over TSM they did not hold up. They pressured their advantage well, by forcing a dragon where TSM had to contest and LMQ turned to engage onto them resulting in a 4-5 trade and a pentakill for Vasilli.

 TSM take a risky engage onto LMQ in the midlane but LMQ are able to turn and take a 2-1 trade in their favor then kill baron uncontested. LMQ use baron to pressure and win fights to eventually take multiple objectives, until baron wears off. Once baron respawns LMQ is able to win a fight and take middle inhibitor then an uncontested baron. After getting their second baron LMQ are able to pressure TSM and get a fight inside TSM's base where LMQ gets a 4-1 trade to end the game and remain in first place.
