The EU LCS Champions experience their worst loss streak in the EU LCS, whereas The Replacements end the week with a victory. 




Once again, the Wolves swapped top and bottom lanes, with the plan of not allowing sOAZ to farm. Unfortunately, Lulu top seems to be better than Renekton as the Frenchman was having a lead in gold versus his counterpart YoungBuck. While FNC had a successful blue invade at the start, the teams were still even. Then, CW started gaining a lead when Cowtard got himself a double kill on xPeke and Cyanide with the help of Amazing and Unlimited. This was the start of the Wolves snowballing out of control.

In what seemed to be one of xPeke's worst performances, his Syndra kept getting caught again and again, allowing CW to assert stronger map pressure. FNC seemed lost and while they tried to make plays and pushes, CW always had the correct response. With the gold lead reaching up to 11k, Fnatic simply fell apart to the might of the Wolves, and experienced their seventh straight defeat in the European LCS.


The game started out with Impaler being the more dominant jungler versus Hulberto, outmaneuvering him and even stealing the 2nd blue away. Edward once again gave up first blood from a 3-man gank, and it looks like SHC would have a good early game. However, the mechanics of the Solo Queue Subs carried GMB, each lane leading ahead in cs, especially Fury on Lucian. Hulberto's Olaf suddenly stepped up his game as well with a steal at dragon, followed by a triple kill from a separate gank at bot.

Strangely enough, the Gambit in Pyjamas were looking like a much more cohesive team than the SUPA HOT CREW XD. Winning in rotations and map control, GiP steamrolled their way to victory. Their dive composition with nukeduck's Lulu giving the tanks a speed boost, as well as good burst damage, allowed Zorozero and Hulberto to engage from anywhere, allowing Fury to attack with ease. Even if it was just one week, The Replacements satisfied Gambit Gaming fans with a 1-1.
