For.Love upsets the scene as they take out DK eSports 2-0 in the opening match of G-League in a very convincing fashion.
The opening match of G-League seemed on paper to be an easy case for DK. For.Love was the underdog of the group and seemingly stood no chance against their enemies. However, they took out DK in a very convincing fashion and looked strong doing so, leaving the question open as to how far they can go.
Game 1:
Lone Druid was played by 8GK. Will be fixed soon.
The first game began very good for For.Love, seeing as 8GK's Lone Druid gave Super's Night Stalker a tough time in the midlane. In addition, Hanci farmed efficiently in the jungle as well as AABF's Panda on the bottom lane, securing both of them fairly early Blink Daggers.
It was a crucial fight at Roshan that foresaw DK's loss when they lost both all five heroes as well as an Aegis to For.Love. From then on forward, DK could not stop the Dire's push as For.Love was too strong and too far ahead. Lone Druid's bear kept on pounding on the rax and eventually Batrider caught Bounty Hunter out of position, resulting in the GG-call.
Game 2:
DK looked a lot stronger this time around, winning both their midlane and bottom lane. For.Love's Templar Assassin had a hard time farming in the midlane, so did Nature's Prophet on the bottom lane. Only their safelane with Nightstalker and Nyx Assassin seemed to work out as they roamed and opened up the map for their team.
BurNing was farming safe and sound and could easily compete with For.Love's line-up, but it was a Scythe of Vyse on Nature's Prophet that turned the tides. Hexing the bear turned out to be working wonders and DK eventually got picked off one by one, resulting in their second loss.
DK is now at the bottom of group A and things will not get easier from here on. The same thing applies to For.Love however. Both LGD teams will not underestimate them and probably won't give them as much space as DK did.
