No real upsets in day one of Nexon Sponsorship League as FXOpen, MVP and amateur team Underrated annihilated their opponents and are now one step closer to making the top eight. The top two placers of each group will qualify for the playoffs of Nexon Sponsorship League S1 on the 22nd of October and be guaranteed a cash prize finish.
Quick recap
FXOpen versus SushiAndYasha (draft information)
It did not take too long for the champion of Nexon Starter League to dispatch amateur team SushiAndYasha in the opening game of Nexon Sponsorship League #1. FXO dominated all their lanes and quickly amassed a 20,000 gold lead 25 minutes into the game. By 30 minutes, FXO was already banging on SushiAndYasha's front door and with such a lead, they did not have much of a problem forcing out the "gg".
MVP versus Sy4mny (draft information)
The closest game among the three played today. MVP did their sponsor proud by pulling ahead early but through a series of mistakes and miscommunication, Sym4ny was able to rally a few winning battles off several Dark Seer Vaccums into Gyrocopter's Call Down. While busy four of MVP was engaged on the top lane, MVP's Nature's Prophet teleported bot and took down the barracks before Sym4ny could make it back. Slowly but surely, MVP gained bigger gold and experience advantage and took down all of Sym4ny's barracks.
Underrateds' versus NJ & Kids (draft information)
Similar to FXO versus Sushi, Underrated won all their lanes in the first 10 minutes of the game. The famous J-God or more commonly known as JesusStick played the Puck and he had a tough time going against Templar Assassin with Living Armor constantly spammed on him. As a result, Templar Assassin got way too huge and she created map dominance for his whole team. Any efforts to ward or deward by NJ & Kids was quickly stopped with superior vision around the Radiant base.
