SHC gets revenge and Fnatic struggles to defeat Copenhagen Wolves


Impaler explains the Pantheon pick and the Wukong ban against SK Gaming.
 
 
Overcommitment to bottom allowed Mimer, Moopz, and Impaler to take early farm and tower advatages on the top half of the map.  SHC also had superior dragon control with a combination of Pantheon's ultimate, Sona's Crescendo, and Gragas' Explosive Cask, allowing them to hold their lead well into late game.
 
They played uncertainly, due to poor vision control, and allowed SK to stall out the game.  Supa Hot Crew kept finding good fights, however, and eventually the death timers were long enought that SHC could close out the game on the team that nearly barred them from the LCS.
 

sOAZ explains why he thinks their game against Copenhagen Wolves was "the worst game [Fnatic] ever played."
 
 
Early group roams allowed Forg1ven and Unlimited to get ahead of Rekkles and YellowStar, but as a result, the solo laners fell behind drastically in farm.  Fnatic were able to find easy kills and snowball xPeke.
 
From there, Fnatic played smart rotation games by baiting most of the Wolves to one side of the map and taking free objectives on the other.  The game erupted into strings of brawls and chases, in which Fnatic always seemed to take tiny wins.  
 
Eventually, Fnatic found an advantageous fight at baron where minions shoved in on Copenhagen Wolves' base in both top and bottom, forcing an engage.  Fnatic won the fight decisively and took their most hard-fought win of the LCS.
