G2 trounce Misfits in 4 video games, powered as soon as once more by the legendary mid/jg duo of Caps and Jankos as they appear to repeat their winnings from final spring.
The Caps Ahri.
G2 Esports begin the sequence off with a monster win in Sport 1 owing to the trusty mid/jg duo of Jankos and Caps. Jankos set them off and Caps knocked down the Misfits gamers one after the other, working rampant on the Ahri with actually no recourse as he completed the sport 12/0/12! The reigning champs destroy the underdogs in a 30 minute, 27-2 stomp!
Flakked Chokes the Teamfights!
Misfits Gaming reply again in type with their very own 24 minute, 14-2 stomp of G2! The no-damage, Twisted Destiny comp out of G2 simply burned out proper earlier than mid recreation, due to Zanzarah’s fixed stress within the bot lane that stifled the Lucian/Nami combo out of G2. Mixed with comparatively poor teamfighting by Flakked and a straightforward teamfighting ADC like Sivir for Neon, Misfits had been in a position to fully outscale G2 heading into the mid recreation and closed Sport 2 out in fast vogue!

Caps Azir Makes the Clutch Performs.
Sport 3 devolves in a slugfest with Caps creating montage performs on the Azir. Watching Caps play Azir is a breath of recent air after I’ve simply seen Bjergsen play perpetually scared towards 100T in his sequence loss. The sport devolved into insanity after Zanzarah’s elegant decide onto Caps to pressure a Baron and prolong the sport in Misfits favor. G2’s smart move to peel off a contested Dragon and take out the encroaching Misfits members ultimately saved the sport for them, as Jankos and Flakked had been in a position to stymie the looming risk of Neon teamfighting on the Sivir.

Misfits Lose Steam.
Misfits lose steam in Sport 4 as communication and coordination broke down for the younger squad round key aims, permitting G2 to simply rip them limb from limb in remoted skirmishes. Jankos’s engages had been as soon as once more the pivotal level of the match right here on the Wukong, permitting his teammates to simply comply with up with their harm on unsuspecting Misfits members.

Trying Forward
Misfits weren’t precisely the most important risk to G2 on this sequence, so I’m curious as to how the reigning champs will carry out towards a strong Rogue lineup within the Winner’s Bracket. I might take Rogue after the tenacity they confirmed towards MAD Lions final sequence, but it surely might simply go 5 video games and both facet has an equal likelihood of profitable and punching their ticket to Finals.
