C9 vs. CST
While Cloud 9 has been consistently dominant and Coast has been slipping, Coast did an excellent job grabbing the first two kills of the game. Cloud 9 would do what they always do however, focusing on the objectives rather than the kills, where Coast was taking over. Cloud 9 were ruthless in their approach.
As the game extended onwards, we saw that the game played out slightly different from other games Cloud 9 is involved in. Team Coast were the ones taking the initiatives in an attempt to catch Cloud 9 off guard. However, to their dismay, Cloud 9 was more reactive than ever and approached each scenario appropriately, dismantling Coast's plan. In the end, Cloud 9 would bring the hammer down on Team Coasts' chance at the playoffs.
DIG vs. VEL
Velcotiy pulled out one of the most innovative things we've seen in a very long time, but it didn't pay dividends as much as they might have hoped. With the help of Evaniskus grabbing blue on Zyra, the team pulled out a level 1 dragon that would leave them at an awesome early gold lead.
Unfortunately, the gimmicks weren't enough to hold back Dignitas, who came to the match extremely prepared. Through utter domination, Dignitas showed their superiority and utterly crushed through Velocity. While once holding a rather large early game lead, Dignitas pummeled them into the ground with virtually no fight against them.
TSM vs. VUL
Team Solomid was possibly the closest and most fierce game up to this point. Starring Reginald on his infamous Karthus and Dyrus making a debut on Twisted Fate to perform a double AP comp, Team Solomid were full of surprises for Vulcun. Vulcun stood strong with their standard play and held their ground.
Though Team Solomid had strong laning phases, the game started falling apart for them at the moment that Vulcun focused hard on focus firing, especially picking Reginald's Karthus out of the fight. The Triple global was not strong enough to handle Vulcun in straight up 5v5 engages, allowing Vulcun to acquire a massive lead with the first inhibitor that they would drive to victory.
