ROCCAT continue to show that they do have some vulnerability while Alliance perform well and Fnatic come into the super-week not preparing as well as they could have hoped.
SK vs. [M]
The first game of superweek kicked off anticlimatically with nRated getting caught out early by Millenium, which resulted in a first blood. Off of that, Millenium continued to drive a lead with solid Tristana play on Creaton's part, amping up to hit that late-game hyper-carry point. SK were able to find a big turnaround midgame, however, but only briefly in the mid game. Millenium were able to grab four kills at the expense of SK grabbing a dragon.
Despite Millenium's lead, SK gaming had a tower advantage. The tower advantage meant that SK was able to ward aggressively and pull ahead with their rotations. Millenium tried to turtle, but nRated had an excellent Tibbers engage that won the game for his team and made up for his early first blood.
SHC vs. [A]
Wickd found a creative way to battle a Renekton early game as trundle. Wickd grabbed triple Doran's items (two blades and one shield) and proceeded to rush lifesteal into Blade of the Ruined King so he could farm and battle on par with the top lane king of laning. On top of that, Shook was successfuly able to counterjungle, outfarming Impaler and smiting away his jungle creeps. The game was very slow with no kill for 18 minutes.
Froggen broke the monotony of no kills and acquired first blood by a roam top to help Wickd acquire a kill with a well timed dive. Towers were going down against Supa Hot Crew, and Impaler didn't utilize Pantheon's kit well to make plays, basically never getting a solid Grand Skyfall out. Eventually, Allianced pulled too far ahead for SHC to stand a chance, and Alliance took the victory.
ROC vs. [M]
Millenium would look to end the first day of super-week with a better looking game than their last, a tough feat against the top team in the region. After an extended pause, the game erupted into tons of action. ROCCAT ended up with the heavy aggresion first to grab first blood, with Araneae counter-ganking to even up the score. ROCCAT showed superior objective control early, having both the first tower and dragon down of the game.
A bit hasty in an engage, Jree pulled ROCCAT's Mundo into the fight, where ROCCAT was able to grab a 5-1 ace, starring Mordekaiser's first death in professional play. The game went on pretty even with both teams swapping back and forth in terms of lead, but eventually Millenium pulled ahead in 6k gold. Though the teams had an even chance lategame, ROCCAT had minimal engage opportunities when Annie's flash was down, resulting in a timing window to abuse for ROCCAT that would secure them the victory.
