Astralis are displaying no indicators of stopping for now as they trounce SK Gaming in a full staff effort, owing to an MVP efficiency out of Xerxe.
Effectively they did labor a bit to shut out towards SK Gaming, however man do Astralis look actually good to begin off the summer time break up! The largest enhancements to the roster have been JeongHoon, even bearing in mind that promisq had arguably his greatest break up in spring, and Dajor, who seems like an early candidate for Most Improved Participant of the Break up.
His clutch Orianna ultimates, particularly the one within the final struggle, have been pivotal in notching the win for Astralis off the again of JeongHoon’s wonderful Rakan engages. He had some strong potential in his debut break up, however he performed with way more poise and endurance this time round, and I used to be pleased to see him carry out properly in these teamfights.
Kobbe seems revitalized being surrounded together with his outdated teammates; whereas they weren’t all the time the neatest play, I can’t bear in mind the final time I’ve seen the Astralis bot laner flashing ahead and enjoying so aggressively in a really very long time. It’s a welcome change for positive.
That being stated, I’d narrowly have to offer my MVP to Xerxe this recreation for being omnipresent on the Volibear, totally jungle gapping Gilius together with his proactivity. Not solely did he make his presence identified in facet lanes, he prevented some slim would-be goal steals from Gilius within the mid recreation.

I used to be additionally impressed together with his use of stasis to bait SK members right into a compromised place, permitting his backline to rain down hellfire and switch essential teamfights that finally snowballed into an Astralis victory.
Though they’re perennially the laughing inventory of the LEC, the outdated Splyce boys mixed with the thrilling new addition of JeongHoon and the outstanding enchancment from Dajor, Astralis are wanting like an early playoff contender as they push ahead to 3-1.
MVP: Xerxe (1)
