EDG vs. OMG
The top two teams in China would open the 8th week of LPL with OMG facing off against EDG. OMG decided to give EDG a taste of their own medicine in the bottom lane with San picking up Twitch against NaMei. Since Koro was able to pick Ryze, OMG laneswapped in attempt to shut him down early. EDG cleverly just sent four bottom to push the outer turrets in response.
OMG were able to rotate fast enough that the difference in tower racing was negligble. EDG were the first to stop pushing and went straight to dragon following the two towers they took. EDG still had a slight advantage after the tower push due to Koro having a lot more farm than Ggoing in the top lane and being able to turn a gank onto Ggoing top for first blood.
OMG had a rotational advantage and were able to secure towers better, but EDG were winning in skirmishes due to their superior vision control upon utilizing quadruple sweeper trinkets. Through superior control and interceptions in the jungle, OMG were able to surmount a large enough lead to turn an otherwise close game into a decisive final push for OMG.
The second game would kick off with a similar drafting phase. For the first time in awhile, in the full set, Renekton was never picked and the bot lane matchup between AD carries remained the same. Once again OMG had superior rotations and had slight edges in terms of taking towers down. EDG once again pulled ahead in the skirmishes and even had a significant farm lead in their top lane.
OMG started pulling ahead in fights when dragon was being contested, mostly due to superior zoning control and superior AoE. EDG tried pushing to compliment their mid game strength, but OMG's wave clear was strong and again they dominated in map vision, which allowed them to find flanks in fights.
Despite the gold not being too far off, the lead by OMG was actually quite high despite being not so apparant. This became clearer as the game drew longer. Unlike many of the games in the BO2 sets, though, the performance had not dimished too far for EDG, despite OMG looking like the stronger team. OMG were able to pull off a 2-0 set against EDG, settling the score with them once again.
VS 
Last week, Invictus finally pulled off a 2-0 set and looked to fix some of their old problems, which seemed allocated elsewhere. While iG's weakness usually lies in their lategame decisiveness, their early game has always been something sought after by other teams. Last week it was the opposite, and they looked to switch it around again this week.
In a rather uncommon level one fight on this patch, Positive Energy came out with a first blood on Aluka. Rather than putting Aluka in the top lane with his advantage, they still decided to throw her 1v2 in the botom lane. The game was fairly slow, but Positive Energy did pull ahead in early towers, even if they relenquished early dragon control to iG.
Despite Aluka getting an early advantage, first blood doesn't mean much nowadays and PDD was a much larger threat on Renekton in teamfights. As Positive Energy was a poke composition playing from behind, nothing was getting better for them. iG cleaned up their late game play and split push to victory essentially, riding huge wave advantages by pushing the other two lanes.
Invictus looked to evade mistakes early on and it worked wonders for them. Kid was completely on fire this game and was dominating lovC in the bottom lane, coming out super far ahead in the early game. By the time 20 minutes rolled around, iG were up 3 towers to 1 with a 7 kill lead.
Positive Energy had some merits entering the midgame due to not allowing the game to completely snowball out of the control once the big items were coming out for both sides, but Invictus Gaming were great with their rotations. Invictus Gaming did a good job keeping all parts of the map shoved so they could make jungle invasion plays.
Invictus Gaming made a few slip ups in what would seem like they were throwing the game as far as needlessly dying and being overly ambitious with their approach, but nothing could stop their massive gold lead when knocking on the door of PE's base. After a bit of inefficient stalling from Positive Energy, iG took the second set of tonight 2-0, making them 2-0 twice in a row.
