?Curse Gaming were showing to be on fire once again this game while Coast also put up the best fight we've seen from the quintuplet in quite a long time. Edward continued his trademark of being a rich support and initiating fights properly.
Coast looked just behind Curse the entire game, breaking the streak of stomps we saw in the 6 games prior to this one. With excellent focus fire, proper baron calls, and Saintvicious finally honing his smiting skills, Curse Gaming pulled out a miracle and finished the week 4-1, making it to the LCS playoffs.
Team Solomid and Cloud 9 had nothing to fight for in this game besides glory, and Team Solomid was certainly hungry to get that "Best Team NA" vibe back that they were so sorely missing. Unfortunately for them, Cloud 9 would not make it an easy task. The first misstep was an overzealous dive at the hands of Team Solomid which got Sneaky's ball rolling.
It wasn't long before the Zyra Ashe disengage and engage duo were causing absolute terror and giving Team Solomid nightmares. basking in the glory of their first place. After that, it was just TSM trying to stall while Cloud 9 tore them limb from limb, devastating the prior kings of NA and putting them in their place.
DIG vs. CLG
The very deciding match between Dignitas and Counter Logic Gaming would launch with comfort picks from both sides and CLG trying to find revenge for their earlier loss in the LCS. Regrettably, they'd only find a worse match than they had beforehand, with all the surmounted pressure of previous losses adding up.
Counter Logic Gaming played like a very disorganized mess while an invigorated but tired Dignitas would show little flaws in their play and pushing style. Dignitas was quick to dismantle the opposition and give themselves a favorable seeding spot for PAX, dropping CLG to 5th place for the summer split.
