For the second time in a row, the two teams met in the grand final of the Solomid Series and once again, the hosts of the tournament stood victorious after a 2-0.

A lot of forfeitures cast a bad shadow on the otherwise entertaining tournament as both Meat Playground and CLG Prime gave up early and ended up with zero points. Points which for CLG in particular were essential for catching up after the third place finish in week one.

The tournament did see its final regardless as Orbit Gaming made it to the finish line playing just one full series, now given the chance to take revenge on TSM for the loss in week one.

Dyrus and OddOne were the stars in the first set, running a flawless Darius and a havoc-wrecking Skarner, fatties that were close to unkillable. As Reginald's Katarina also picked up her play, Orbit were left no other choice but to let their nexus go and hope to come back in the next sets.

A false hope as it'll turn out as Dyrus once again stole the show, running a super-farmed, double-warmong Olaf backed up by a 7/1/8 Morgana and 8/2/3 Graves - stats that called out the surrender vote by the 21st minute.

Things are looking really grim for everyone that is not TSM or Orbit in the standings as the two teams are so far ahead and, most importantly, keep not forfeiting and actually winning points. There are four more weeks of competition, of course, so that the likes of Dignitas, CLG and Dynamic can catch up and there's even hope for the lower-ranked teams but if things go week 2's course, it will be a dire affair for everyone but the standings leaders.
