Dignitas still finds trouble while Team Solomid and Cloud 9 flourish in their matches to start off week 1 day 2 of the North American LCS.

CRS vs. XDG

Curse favored an unusually squishy composition this game, which allowed XDG to get an easy 3 man tower top.  Quas on Karthus counterplayed this by stayin gin the jungle until the first tower went down. First blood was picked up by IWillDominate on his jungle pantheon, taking down Mancloud and grabing a turret bottom to even the odds for Curse. Curse kicked off the game with a commanding lead, up 4-0.

Their momentum did not halt with the team thinking ahead of XDG every step of the way. Mancloud had the worst game of his career during the set as well with a 0-7-1 score 23 minutes in.  Voyboy had another excellent game, and though XDG stalled for another 10 minuts or so, Curse were eventually able to massacre them and continue 2-0 in the LCS.

C9 vs. CLG

Hotshot managed to lock in Cassiopeia while the rest of the drafts were relatively normal, with a typical Dr. Mundo vs. Shyvana matchup toplane.  Outside of bottom lane, the domination was completely in favor of Cloud 9, though.  Despite the deficit, CLG were able to play objectively and grab two towers before Cloud 9 could manage to take one down. C9 answered with a dragon pickup.

C9 were able to quickly catch up, taking towers of their own and even pulling ahead in gold by 1k around 17 minutes in. Meteos continued cleaning up what would otherwise be not so good engagements for Cloud 9 and kept the team ahead in several thousands of gold. Eventually, Cloud 9 were able to clean up CLG with ease.

DIG vs. TSM

The game started out advantageously for TSM, with Bjergsen finding the first blood on Leblanc, but with both teams exchanging turrets. Dignitas continued to give a week showing in the LCS with Team Solomid pulling a drastic lead, Bjergsen up 4 kills with 0 deaths 14 minutes in and with one turret up over Dignitas.

The game was looking to be extremely short, with Dyrus splitpushing on Warwick while Bjergsen absolutely obliterates everyone on the enemy team. In the shortest game of the LCS, TSM were able to abolish Dignitas.
