Knight makes it occur as TES reverse sweep the primary seed of V5.
Recreation 1
V5 leap out to a stupendous begin as they merely run over High Esports in a one-sided affair. Rookie and Karsa bought the ball rolling (see what I did there?) with their Orianna and Hecarim combo, snowballing off of early recreation kills into an entire beatdown throughout the board. Tian couldn’t get discover any performs on his Viego and Knight couldn’t discover a solution to carry his staff by way of the predicament they discovered themselves in.
Recreation 2
High Esports lastly activate their displays and struggle again tooth and nail in Recreation 2. Knight’s Zoe was out in full power, discovering a mind-blowing bubble on Rookie within the early recreation for First Blood. The sport devolved into break up map eventualities, with High Esports focusing botside whereas V5 benefited off of Wealthy dominating Rookie of the Break up, Wayward, within the Gnar vs Graves matchup. TES was in management for many of this recreation, however Photic managed to drag it again with one of many craziest Aphelios performs I’ve seen since Berserker’s teamfight clinch in LCS Week 1 of this break up. V5 rode that momentum to power a base race situation, profitable Recreation 2 by the pores and skin of their enamel.
Recreation 3
Knight and JackeyLove dwell as much as their famous person names as they drag TES throughout the end line for Recreation 3 and maintain themselves alive within the collection. Knight particularly had an excellent Akali flank, killing off 3 folks by himself to clinch a baron teamfight that may end result within the win. The 2 carries of High Esports pulled off mind-boggling mechanical performs to outplay a considerably disjointed V5 and safe the win. Wealthy’s Cassiopeia High counterpick into Wayward’s Graves wasn’t essentially a nasty thought, however V5 appeared moderately uncomfortable in these teamfights with no conventional bruiser with CC for Wealthy.

Recreation 4
V5 look decidedly worse because the collection continues; Rookie’s Viktor continues to be a fly on the wall as he’s unable to muster the identical magic to hold V5 by way of Tian’s Lee Sin rampage. The S9 Worlds Finals MVP appeared like he was enjoying in that finals once more as he teamed up with Mark to ravage V5 in teamfights, particularly since JackeyLove was out of the sport owing to a stage 1 misplay. I really feel that Mark’s engages on the Rakan have been an enormous motive as to why V5 have been all the time on the backfoot – even within the skirmishes they received. And naturally, Knight topped the sport off with what appeared like a real 1v5 Quadra Kill on the Ryze. Y’know… simply Knight issues.
Recreation 5
V5 fully crumble to bits within the ultimate recreation as High Esports reverse sweep the primary seed. A 6-minute dragon struggle the place High Esports managed to choose aside V5 snowballed the sport for good, as Wealthy continued to run it down on Kennen, getting picked off and solokilled by Wayward’s shock Malphite choose. TES took over from there in a moderately anticlimactic Recreation 5, working over the primary seed and securing their spot in Winner’s Bracket Semis.
MVP: TES Knight
The Golden Left Hand shines vibrant as soon as once more, dragging his staff throughout the end line with some high quality help from his bot lane. He was capable of finding early kills onto Rookie with Zoe in Recreation 2, however he really transcended the sport along with his Akali flanks in Recreation 3, holding his staff alive alongside JackeyLove. I used to be mighty impressed with Knight dwelling as much as the hype on this collection, going up in opposition to Rookie, who I had pegged as merely the very best participant on the planet proper now. Knight continues to place collectively MVP season after season and stays the first win situation for TES along with his pristine play and ridiculous clutch issue. With Knight enjoying like this, if TES can proceed to be steady in the remainder of their lanes, they develop into a darkish horse for the title this yr.
