Boy did this collection ship as 100T handle to search out their footing with their backs towards the wall and reverse sweep a surging Staff Liquid off the again of Nearer’s unstoppable engages and Ssumday’s immovable Ornn.
Sport 1
The onus was on Abbedagge and Nearer on his well-known Viego to prepare dinner up one thing within the early sport, however they have been passive the complete first quarter-hour, permitting Bjerg/Santorin combo to run the map. It was very uncharacteristic from Nearer particularly, who’s Viego is astoundly good, to not discover any performs on the map whereas Santorin merely ran rampant, accumulating an enormous gold benefit and 100T merely couldn’t come again from. TL look dominant of their Winner’s Bracket Semis opener as they draft teamfight and one way or the other nonetheless crush the early sport, resulting in an easy Sport 1 win.
Sport 2
Again to again Quadra Kills come via for Hans Sama as he reveals off his Zeri mechanics for the thrilled crowd. It was just about battle membership at mid lane for the primary couple of minutes and Staff Liquid have been touchdown some fairly large jabs proper throughout 100T’s face off the again of CoreJJ and Santorin supporting Bjergsen. 100T handle to claw again a few of the lead with some good teamfighting and AOE fears from Abbedagge’s Vex however their trademark early sport merely isn’t in control as Nearer’s Viego has one other dud of a sport.
Sport 3
Properly Nearer managed to search out his keyboard, in addition to Santorin’s Jarvan, in Sport 3 and boy did he make use of it! The reigning Finals MVP was on full show as soon as once more, clawing again yet one more gold deficit with attractive Jarvan engages that 100T have been in a position to capitalize from. He was helped largely by Ssumday, who secured not solely a solo kill on Bwipo, but in addition discovered essential knockups to search out clutch engages that manages to cease the whole sweep from Staff Liquid.

Sport 4
Staff Liquid undoubtedly ready to offer Ssumday Ornn to counterpick it; we now have seen the Aatrox, Graves and now the Lucian from Bwipo, and whereas they’re doing decently (barring Ssumday solokilling Bwipo in Sport 3) they don’t seem to be capable of finding a large enough result in translate it into teamfights. It appears as if the leads they have been getting in scrims fooled them into pondering it might translate on stage, as a result of Ssumday is impactful as ever on his trusty Ornn.
Actually, the principle purpose Staff Liquid misplaced this sport was due to the Lucian prime – Santorin bought chunked out by Abbedagge in a pivotal Baron begin by 100T, and the shortage of have interaction from TL meant that 100T may get to resolve when it pressure the engages and boy did they! One more sprint + flash combo from Nearer, as soon as once more on the Jarvan, as 100T blow Staff Liquid to smithereens and look to reverse sweep.
Sport 5
Okay.. so I do know everybody goes to tunnel in on that insane xPeke end from Abbedagge, however I’d like to have a look at the Baron battle the place 100T managed to search out the teamfight wipe. Huhi was hidden from sight that complete time whereas TL members engaged on 100T and Hans Sama additionally used his final for burst injury as an alternative of saving it for CC. This turned out to be fairly disastrous because the unseen Huhi proves to be the deadliest, with Huhi’s Leona discovering the CC lock onto the uncovered Staff Liquid carries, splicing aside the TL teamfight and snowballing into double nexus turrets – which solely THEN resulted within the xPeke end for Abbedagge.
Collection MVP: Ssumday
Attempt as they may, Staff Liquid simply couldn’t discover a strong reply for Ssumday’s Ornn throughout the reverse sweep, as Bwipo’s Graves, Lucian and eventually even Shen did not stifle the Forge God sufficiently. Ssumday’s mastery of the champion was on full show as he discovered a number of clutch picks together with his sprint knockup in addition to positioning himself intelligently amongst his carries to be able to present needed peel whereas remaining a frontline.
I do suppose TL will meet 100T once more within the Finals and I do suppose Bwipo can be completely able to enjoying Ornn (the man can play something as evidenced on this collection alone), so I’m curious as to how Ssumday will fare as soon as his trusty champion will get picked away from him.
