Alliance's win streak broken, ROCCAT back in form, and SK ties with Fnatic to kick off the final week of the group stage.
FNC vs [A]
The game started out even, with Alliance doing a lane swap to quickly push down towers. Fnatic got first blood though via a well-coordinated 3-man dive in the bot lane. Alliance answered with a gank onto sOAZ, and from this point it seemed that they were in the driver's seat, especially with Froggen on Kayle being able to 1v1 anybody. Baron secured, ALL takes down bot inhibitor and were poised to continue on the press.
However, Fnatic came back with their signature rotation catches, getting the momentum in their favor in the late game. Superior teamfighting gave FNC a big window of opportunity in
a chokepoint near baron, granting them the buff in the end, and using such to push their way into victory, ending Alliance's win streak.
ROC vs SHC
With a double lane swap, much of the focus of the game had been on the top lane. While MrRallez and Migxa were doing well against Celaver and Vander, it was the junglers that were key in the match. Both Impaler on Evelynn and Jankos on Lee Sin made key plays that shifted the momentum back and forth between the teams.
In the end, it was ROCCAT team comp that was superior against the SUPA HOT CREW. As SHC relied on pulling off a strong Wombo Combo of Orianna + Shyvana/Evelynn, ROC adjusted in teamfights by spreading out and maneuvering in clashes. Overpow on Ryze was a big factor in their win, as he became both a tank and a carry to help Xaxus and Jankos in the frontlines.
SK vs FNC
It was another double lane swap in this game, it was a close matchup, with a win for Fnatic securing the top spot momentarily, while a win for SK would tied them up with their opponents. The teams used strong team comps, with SK going for a strong siege lineup and good AoE burst, while FNC focusing more on picks and skirmishes.
For this game, it was SK's Jesiz who stepped up and carried the team hard. With the help of Svenskeren on Evelynn, his Ziggs was able to dish out the poke and siege necessary for his team to gain map pressure. While xPeke was no slouch and Rekkles got fed with the kills, it seemed that it wasn't enough to get them their 2nd win tonight.
