Even without Bjergsen, TSM still continue to thrive and are one game away from having a perfect super week. Though XDG almost slipped in their game against Coast, they managed to pull out another much needed win.
TSM vs. EG
This game had a good start for Team Solomid's duo lane, as they ended up getting a double kill bottom and an immediate advantage. Evil Geniuses managed to dive TSM to help even the odds somewhat. However, TSM were able to grab an easy dragon and objective control.
Evil Geniuses attempted to stall and farm up, but TSM was able to get a complete ace at 18 minutes and grab an incredibly early baron. After that, TSM just crushed EG and took a second easy win in under 30 minutes for their final victory of the day.
CST vs. XDG
XDG knew Zionspartan usuallies carries the game for Coast, so the game started with them camping him until his score was 0-2. However, XDG counteracted this with some strong roaming, which allowed them to grab free dragons due to superior mobility across the map. As the game went on, the victory wasn't without complications for XDG, however.
XDG threw at many different moments in the game, including at baron where Coast acquired the buff while also grabbing several kills. Eventually, XDG were able to stabilize and get back on their feet, taking the game off of Coast and giving a much needed victory for their new support "Sheep", as well as reinvigorated morale.
C9 vs. DIG
The final game of the day would showcase a very early first blood on KiWiKiD, who has statistically done very well as Annie and had acquired it in this game. Off of the strong performance bottom lane, Dignitas were able to grab dragon control. However, not all the dragons would go in favor of Dignitas.
When the dragon respawned, Dignitas failed their fight against Cloud 9 and allowed for Cloud 9 to swing the game back into their favor. Cloud 9 were able to keep up with the momentum and were also able to play mindgames on Dignitas by distracting them so that Dignitas would make bad decisions and go in lanes, while Cloud 9 rushed down their inhibitor. After the inhibitor fell, it wasn't long before Cloud 9 rushed for the win and showed why they are the strongest North American team at rotations.
