Team Solomid narrowly take down CLG to stop their winning streak while Coast breaks the tie between themselves and Evil Geniuses, pulling ahead.
EG vs. CST
Evil Geniuses took the early advantage in the tie breaker against Coast by grabbing the first tower and Snoopeh finding some success on Volibear. Coast started swinging back with NintendudeX sneaking a dragon with Zion splitpushing on his trademark Jax again. Despite Snoopeh's objective domination, Coast's lead started growing larger and larger. Coast were making the plays and managed to grab baron 26 minutes in.
Evil Geniuses pulled off their turtling tactics for quite awhile and managed to hold off Coast at a massive deficit. Coast were hungry to break the tie and take the lead over the primarily European squadron and managed to kill off Evil Geniuses and pull ahead in the rankings.
CLG vs. TSM
In the oldest rivalry in the books for competitive League of Legends, both teams were playing safe in a way that displayed that neither wanted to throw an early lead. TSM played the defensive role properly while Dexter tried to lead his team aggressively into TSM's jungle. With a teleport from Dyrus, TSM were able to take the first turret, but Nien was able to take top tower. First blood went down at 12 minutes for Nien top and CLG started having a small advantage.
Team Solomid was pulling ahead in the fights but Counter Logic Gaming still held a minor tower advantage, albeit a gold disadvantage. After Bjergsen baiting CLG, Team Solomid were able to push middle inner tower and push the leader further with a late dragon. 30 minutes in, TSM grabbed an inhibitor, which spiked their advantage greatly. Counter Logic Gaming almost turned the game around with a baron steal, but with a few members getting caught out and throwing the game, TSM pulled out a win, going 11-1 in the LCS.
