Cloud 9 bounced back against XDG, and Dignitas continued their win streak against Coast on the first day of Week 4.
Meteos and his team started off the game by taking ganks and objectives behind enemy lines with several gank attempts mid, a gank on Benny in the top lane, and heavy ward coverage in Zuna's jungle.
When Xmithie and BloodWater went down to bottom lane pressure, XDG made the best of it by pushing two mid lane turrets, but when they attempted to catch Cloud 9 in the jungle afterwards, Cloud 9 picked up three more kills and a dragon. This put them definitively in the lead, and they were able to take map objectives as if on a whim, coordinating dives to clean up fights.
At around twenty six minutes, Cloud 9 took Baron Nashor and decisively won a fight in the bottom lane to take the game at twenty nine minutes.
Dignitas and Coast started the game with a bit of turret-taking chicken. Coast and Dignitas took second tier turrets in the top and bottom lanes until Coast finally recalled to stop imaqtpie, KiWiKiD, and Crumbzz from taking an inhibitor turret.
Lanes became extremely open from there. With two turrets down, ZionSpartan was able to pre-empt Cruzer's teleports by roaming to where his team planned to start fights. Coast picked up the first blood and first dragons to aggressive roaming, but Dignitas answered with more kills, which allowed the gold to remain even.
The game turned when Coast stayed too long after taking their first top lane turret. KiWiKiD was able to catch NintendudeX with Talisman of Ascension, and Dignitas commanded the fight, then acquired the next dragon to for an eight thousand gold lead.
Despite the game's fast start, the pace stalled for the next ten minutes until Dignitas engaged the last two fights in Coast's base and found a convincing win.
