Crew Liquid places the nails in Evil Geniuses’ coffins as they advance to face 100T within the Winner’s Semifinals after an awesome 5 sport collection!
Recreation 1: smol kitty vs. African Tiger
Have you ever ever seen a cat video when the infant kitty with small legs tries to sq. as much as the larger one? The larger cat doesn’t actually even react, it simply places one leg on high of the kitten’s head like “Cease this foolishness, baby.” That just about summed up the primary sport of this collection as Evil Geniuses’ Yuumi decide didn’t pay dividends as they had been missing Vulcan’s interact inside these midgames, permitting for Crew Liquid to draft yet one more commonplace, scaling comp and coast to a straightforward sport one.
Recreation 2: Balls of Metal
Evil Geniuses bounce again with one of the chad baron calls I’ve ever seen; regardless of getting outplayed in an earlier begin, they go proper again to it and win the struggle of attrition with the intention to declare the Baron and speed up superbly for a clear end. With Leona locked in, Vulcan and EG had been in acquainted territory, and had been capable of pressure the difficulty on to Crew Liquid. Crew Liquid’s frontline had been typically disconnected from the backline this sport, as Bwipo’s aggressive positioning in teamfights in addition to CoreJJ getting picked off a number of instances. This resulted within the TL backline being comparatively unguarded; the carries of Crew Liquid must step up extra and play with extra aggressive positioning with the intention to higher capitalize off of their group’s engages.
Recreation 3: G.O.A.T Mode
Bjergsen rebounds off of a hilarious stage 1 demise by the hands of EG to complete the sport 10/2, carrying the sport on his Ahri with Santorin’s Jarvan IV by his facet. The GOAT was masterful in these teamfights, and his mastery of Ahri poses the query whether or not groups ought to let it via the draft section with none kind of counter technique. He is ready to take the sport into his personal arms with a champion that has mobility and crowd management, versus Recreation 2 the place he would simply sit on the Viktor and hope his teammates don’t fly too far forward of him. Jojopyun received caught lots within the facet lanes coming off of their sturdy early sport and Bjergsen and TL had been capable of snowball that to a win and take the lead within the collection.
Recreation 4: Sure Azael, Mid Laners Can Play Lucian High Too
Evil Geniuses clap again with a tremendous full courtroom press, that includes Jojo laneswapping his Lucian high lane to take care of Bwipo’s Gangplank as Impression performs Ryze mid. Impressed’s focus topside snowballed Jojo’s lane and EG’s wonderful skirmishing propelled them even additional earlier than they merely began outplaying TL members left, proper and middle. Bwipo has been largely a nonfactor this sport as he finds himself getting caught out once more, eliminating any benefits TL had been capable of accrue with just a few pickoffs within the mid sport. Each Danny and Jojopyun shone vibrant on their respective marksmen picks, and with their excellent performances, EG pressure silver scrapes on this epic quarterfinal.
Recreation 5: Impression tried…
Crew Liquid lastly handle to win the Mountain Soul struggle and clinch the collection towards Evil Genius. EG had been capable of finding their method again from an early sport deficit off of some terrific flanks from Impression however the infinite scaling from each Sion and Veigar, mixed with Jinx, was an excessive amount of for EG to deal with and so they merely get mowed down on the dragon struggle. LCS playoffs, as soon as considered merely a two horse race between TL and C9, is now wanting very, very fascinating with each EG pushing TL to 5 sport and 100T merely embarrassing C9 of their collection. I look ahead to the 100T vs TL matchup as it may be a possible finals preview.
Quarterfinals MVP: Santorin
When the TL tremendous group was made, Santorin was touted because the supportive jungler that was going to facilitate his mega laners and obtain victory via their starpower. Whereas he has been intelligently protecting out pushing and ganking, he has additionally been a secret carry menace, and simply TL’s finest participant coming into this collection. Alongside Bjergsen, Santorin was instrumental in TL successful teamfights with good play on his Viego, in addition to discovering picks and protecting out pushes with the intention to facilitate his laners. He has added carry efficiency to his supportive type, which makes him fairly the invincible participant when he’s in type.
