The first game of the final day for super-week was the old rivalry of Counter Logic Gaming up against Team Curse. Curse possessed a better late game composition and found a lead with it early. Seraph was focused hard in the early game and failed ot survive a gank due to not using his ultimate as Kayle to save himself in time top. 

On the opposite end of the map, Counter Logic Gaming found no luck either. For the first time, the famous "Aphrolift" was outlaned heavily by Curse's Cop and Xpecial duo.  Xpecial's remarkable performance would be responsible for the future success in the game as well coupled with CLG's sloppiness.  As a result, Curse were able to take the game.

Team Dignitas then tackled Complexity desperately attempted to avoid the "blue turtle shell".  Zionspartan was able to kick things off strong with a first blood on Westrice. Complexity vision control was better than usual this game, but Dignitas still maintained early dragon control and controlled the pacing of the early game.

Dignitas managed to play well the entire game until about the 35 minute mark where RobertxLee found a game-turning triple kill.  From there on out, Complexity were able to turn things around and once again defeat a top ranked team, proving once again to be the king slayers.

After that it was Evil Geniuses vs. LMQ. Evil Geniuses did not have such luck to upset LMQ and LMQ maintained a three turret advantage early and a drake at 16 minutes. In almost an oxymoronic parallel universe kind of way, LMQ had the superior vision and map control while EG had better picks and fights, but LMQ ultimately prevailed. 

Afterwards, Team Solomid faced off against Complexity and commenced an absolute stomp.  Some would say it was because they weren't top-rated before this result and therefore avoided the "blue turtle shell" symptoms.  With a 15k gold lead and pushing at a 10-1 score, Team Solomid took an easy win.

The final game was was Cloud 9 vs. Dignitas where Cloud 9 shows that they may have pulled themselves together.  While Dignitas held the superior map control early on, Cloud 9 scaled well with utility champions as well as the burst and sustained damage of Sneaky's Corki and Hai's Orianna.

As the game stretched onward, Cloud 9 began scaling out of control with an 8k gold lead and Crumbzz was unable to satisfy the requirements to be the frontline for his team.  Cloud 9 were able to abuse Dignitas before any further power spikes and take the win to force a four-way tie at the top.
