Pantheon carries hard for the first two games, as he helped SK Gaming and the SUPA HOT CREW grab wins in Day 2 of the second week in the EU LCS.
In the early game, SK were winning most lanes. fredy122 was pushing Wickd hard with his Renekton, Svenskeren kept outplaying Shook, and while nRated and Candypanda were having a rough time at the start, by level 6 the burst potential of Leona and Jinx outscaled Thresh and Caitlyn. The only lane that was winning for ALL was Froggen, beating Jesiz in cs and a kill via a gank with Lee Sin. The big win for SK, however, was Svenskeren, who managed to snowball the team hard with Pantheon, as his mandrops were able to make plays faster.
Around the midgame, fredy122 and Candypanda's leads had came to fruition; they were able to push down towers and take objectives much faster than ALL. While Froggen had some great Shockwaves, Jesiz's Kayle was able to mitigate a lot of the damage via Intervention, and nRated's Leona ults were perfect in setting up fights together with Grand Skyfall. Wickd was once again struggling as his Trundle wasn't able to make much of an impact and didn't have enough defensive items to tank for the team. The result was a huge teamfight at bot lane, ending with SK decimating ALL brute-forcing their way to victory.
Things were already looking up for the SUPA HOT CREW XD at the start, as MrRallez immediately got first blood on Unlimited. This lead powered up the already strong siege duo of Caitlyn and Morgana. Mimer handled the lane well versus Youngbuck, and Moopz, while he struggled with cowTard's Yasuo at the beginning, still manged to go even with his strong waveclear. Again here we see Pantheon's impact, as Impaler was able to find better ganks than Amazing, which is a tricky feat considering he was up against Vi.
Then, things exploded in one teamfight in the dragon pit, where the AoE power of Migxa and Moopz manipulated SK's positioning in their favor, allowing Caitlyn to wail away with and Mundo plus Pantheon chasing and zoning out prime targets. From there, the game just spun out of control for CW. SHC took one dragon after another, and with a powerful siege comp, melted turrets with ease. The gold lead kept increasing, and teamfights went more and more into SHC's favor, resulting in all lanes getting pushed.
While there was one play where a four-man Last Breath transition to Baron gave CW some hope, the Crew simply waited for the buff to burn. Even with problems closing out, a great fight in the respawned Baron went SHC's way, which became the nail in the Wolves' coffin.
