An exciting three games that could have ended any way. Azubu Blaze, however proved that they just inched slightly ahead in decision making.



The semifinals start off with one of the best Korean teams facing off against one of the best European teams. Blaze vs Fnatic was no blowoff match for an all Korean final. Blaze was pushed and tried over and over as the resilient Fnatic led by xPeke fought on to make the games as long and exciting as possible.



Game 1 started with Azubu Blaze storming out of the gates. Blaze right off the bat went full force with a switch of putting Cait + Lulu in midlane to keep pressure on xPeke to prevent much aggression from Fnatic. Cyanide was then heavily counter jungled by Helios' Mundo to even more cripple out xPeke. With Cait and Lulu pushing heavily, Blaze managed to get the mid tower out of the way and continued with the bottom tower. At the same time Flame was running Nidalee to run a ranky push build similar to the way TPA runs with Stanley. With towers falling left and right, Fnatic simply could not hold on with the gold disadvantage and soon has to admit defeat in game 1.



Game 2 showed a completely different Fnatic team. Picking up Nidalee themselves, xPeke showed just how strong and scary spears are. Blaze was a literal spear magnet all game as xPeke just constantly barraged everybody on the team with a hail of spears. Piled along with having Kha'zix and Caitlyn as well, Fnatic pulled off some great Wombo Combo's of using the spears along with Caitlin ults. Fnatic consistently did everything they could to keep Blaze far away while they sieged away at Blaze's tower. The match eventually ended when Blaze tried to force a team fight for their top base tower, ending with sOAZ and xPeke backdooring their nexus.



Game 3 was a game of comebacks and downfalls for Fnatic. xPeke played a stellar game with Kassadin once again and used teleport efficiently to help anywhere at almost anytime. With a great roaming team and initiations with Blitzcrank and Amumu, Fnatic could take the fight to Blaze at will. Blaze however wouldn't allow such a thing to happen, taking the fight to Fnatic early on, Blaze pulled ahead with a considerable gold lead. Fnatic however was not intent on just losing, they resisted and soon managed to close the gap between the two teams eventually causing the game to rely solely on one team fight. Fnatic however would make a mistake with Amumu at the end giving Blaze the kills they needed to end the game.
