VS 
The first game of the final day for LPL Week 5 would showcase Uzi's return to marksman for the first time since Worlds. First blood ended up going to Nct, but due to not lane swapping in a weaker lane, K4ne was able to pick up a first blood onto Uzi in the bottom lane, ruining his debut. Things continued going downhill for Royal Club as a dark binding landed onto Uzi, resulting in another death and a free dragon for Energy Pacemaker.
Energy Pacemaker sustained a kill lead early on, but were yet to turn it into a tower. As the game pushed beyond the fifteen minute mark, towers finally started going down for both teams, but transitions from picks into towersw were still a bit rough. Energy Pacemaker aggressed into Royal Club's jungle to set up ambushes which they finally could transition into a couple towers and yet another dragon.

The game wasn't going to smoothly for Uzi, who was 0-4 by 20 minutes and down 60 CS. 21 minutes in, Energy Pacemaker attmpted their first baron in clear sight of Royal Club, but still managed to secure it with a well timed smite by BuPing. Even if they couldn't turn skirmishes into towers very well, they certainly could with baron.
After a massive teamfight in the middle lane, Royal Club was picked off with barely a scratch on Energy Pcaemaker. The team was able to push through the middle inhibitor. Off the inhibitor, Energy Pacemaker was able to push straight through and onto the nexus.
Uzi had his chance to redeem himself this game and performed substantially better. With the help of Bao's early zoning, Uzi had over a 20 CS lead right away early on. However, Yao from Royal Club was getting bulled in the top lane and fell equally as far behind against AmazingJ. With the help of Kmi, Uzi and Bao were able to dominate the bottom lane, proxying the wave, taking out a tower and grabbing a few kills.
After ten minutes, Energy Pacemaker pulled ahead in global gold very slightly, and Kmi focused on his denied top lane getting caught up with a kill onto AmazingJ. However, the main focus this game was the mid laners, who were both quite well farmed and fed, and Nct showed decent play in the mid lane considering his freshness to the role and arguably weak performance top lane recently.

The midgame was fairly stale as both teams were farming it up and trying to keep the waves pushing in their favor. Royal Club were the first to make a move to break the monotony and were rewarded heavily for doing so. After invading Energy Pacemaker's blue buff, Royal Club were quickly able to rotate mid and grab a map advantage. In the meantime, Energy Pacemaker were still up aa tower due to earlier endeavors.
Farm levels were flipped this time around -- Superc4t was heavily outfarming Nct but Uzi was nearly 100 CS up on k4ne. Royal Club had substantially stronger engage due to having 3 AoE initators as well as the double speed buffs from Lulu and Sivir. Energy Pacemaker tried to counter-act this by initiating the fights first, but Royal Club did a great job peeling for the carries and were able to close out the game.
