With GGU finally breaking out of the bottom of the brackets, they came into this game with pure confidence. To further that confidence, Dignitas was missing their jungler, Crumbzz who is one of the main shot callers of the team. The game was fairly even the entire game, even when GGU managed to take a baron, Dignitas came back and managed to ace GGU to even out the gold at 45k.

GGU continued to go full aggressive and eventually was aced a second time. Even after 2 aces in a row GGU would not give up, after waiting in the river bush near baron Qtpie was eventually captured, and that would leave a 5v4 for Dignitas to defend at home. GGU eventually overpowered Dignitas and managed to take the win.

CLG%20VS%20MRN.PNG

MRN looks to escape being in bottom of the brackets and take a win from CLG once again. After getting the first dragon of the game, Marn found the increase of gold to be just enough to start there run. At the 16 minute mark MRN really came up ahead when Heartbeat lands a perfect Crescendo followed by Cataclysm destroying CLG completely.

With 4 members of CLG taken down, MRN went for a 16:30 minute baron, giving MRN a 7k lead in gold. MRN just continued to get stronger and stronger with each teamfight, with Megazero leading the charge almost every time. Even though Doublelift managed to show a beautiful 1v1 fight against Megazero (5h31m10s), CLG was just too far behind MRN's and fell once again.

GGU%20vs%20Col.PNG

GGU looked to be a completely new team since Daydreamin came into the picture. With seemingly perfect synergy, GGU has been nothing but trouble for almost every opposing team. Complexity tried to slow down this onslaught, but found themselves to be defeated by champion choices early on.

With a completely aggressive lineup GGU made sure that Complexity could not gain any momentum. After a support LeBlanc first blood, GGU snapped into action with all of their players playing as aggressive as possible. GGU demolished coL after a 30 minute, 23-11 game.

CRS%20vs%20TSM.PNG

The last game of the week was Curse against Team Solo Mid. After banning out Saintvicious' current favorite junglers, TSM was heavily focused upon the jungle. CRS began by invading TSM's blue, however TSM was waiting for Sainvicious at his own blue causing a 4v4 scuffle that lasted well over 30 seconds around the blue buff. However once laning phase came into an end, TSM was showing domination in team fights.

Wildturtle continued to show his mastery of the AD Carry role with perfect placements of Bullet time consistently hitting 3-4 members of curse at all times. With TSM's continuous pressure, Curse eventually typed out the GG's and gave TSM the victory. TSM is now 2nd place in the LCS rankings.
