Safety began picking up kills for his laners early with well-timed ganks, but what really snowballed the Jokers ahead was a fight over Insidious Gaming's second blue buff. Saigon Jokers came away with the blue on Safety and three kills for top and mid. From there, QTV was a force to be reckoned with on his Lee Sin, constantly bringing windowlicka top and pushing three turrets by fifteen minutes. Soon after, Saigon Jokers grouped and crushed through iSG's defenses. Not to be outdone by the Taiwanese, the Saigon Jokers proved they could take an even shorter game at eighteen minutes. In yet another short game this week, Winds began ganking lanes early and picking up kills for OhReal to crush Intreso's Kassadin. In the bottom lane, though Bangkok Titans took an advantage for Lloyd, Awei effectively bullied both Lloyd and Warl0ck into submission. Messy fights followed. Most often, the Snipers took more kills, as the Titans failed to take advantage of positioning misteps and began to run from all confrontations. With strong dives from Winds, TPS took a twenty four minute game. Chawy found first blood on a solo kill against mid lane Lulu, but good ganks by Knut kept the game initially even, especially with sloppy follow up by DDan and Chawy. Manila Eagles made their first definitive misplay, however, in the dragon pit. After taking a fight bottom, they allowed the dragon to harrass them low for the remaining Sentinels to come in, destroy Knut, and take the dragon. From there, good initiating death sentences by HaRleLuYaR allowed the Sentinels to press into the base at seventeen minutes. Though they got caught out, they were able to regroup, take baron, and return to finish the game shortly after.
