Millenium defeated CNB e-Sports Club in a two-game set full of highlights.
Millenium celebrate their victory.
In the first game, CNB's Dana and tkshi surprised some by going toe-to-toe with Millenium's Araneae and Kerp and coming out ahead in high mobility trades with smart rupture and barrel placements. Many of CNB's players gained advantages in laning phase, but the first dragon fight saw them struggle against the zone control of Kev1n's Renekton, and Millenium took command. Millenium did not win without hiccups, however, as a couple picks on Araneae forced Millenium to play cautiously. The game came to a final head around CNB's top inhibitor where Creaton was able to lifesteal and stay alive to do damage at critical amounts of HP while Millenium's front line controlled CNB's damage dealers to take the victory. Millenium had a stronger start in the second game with Araneae picking up first blood on Lee Sin, the champion that earned him a lot of popularity in the 2013 EU Summer Split, and Creaton gaining a near twenty farm lead in six minutes. tkshi and Leko, however, managed to lead the solo lanes in farm and kills. Araneae kept his team ahead by applying good pressure across the map and redeeming himself for mispositioning in the previous game. A few dragons and some flashy plays by Kerp saw Millenium cement their lead despite Leko's best efforts in the top lane. The game again ended at CNB's top inhibitor, albeit more decisively, as Millenium aced the opposition and plowed through the Nexus. Millenium will advance to face Seven Wars e-Sports tomorrow in the semifinals after the last quarterfinal between Gamers 2 and Furious Gaming.
