The losing streak finally ends on the ninth attempt. Meanwhile, the Wolves and SK continue to rise, and The Crew takes out the current top dogs of the split.




Fnatic built a risky, early game team comp that relied to them winning right off the bat. Fortunately for them, that is exactly what happened, as Cyanide on Wukong was able to put a ton of map pressure in comparison to Diamond. While Gambit tried to respond with an early dragon, Fnatic made the Russians pay by getting kills out of it.

The rest of the game could be considered absolutely perfect for Fnatic, as they read Gambit's every move and won every fight. The pick potential of their team comp and the AoE crowd control possible with Wukong, Lulu, and Morgana allowed Nidalee and Sivir to mop the floor with he blood of their foes. Fnatic breaks its curse with a perfect game, not dropping a single kill.


It was the battle of the aggressive jungler in this one, as Amazing and Araneae were hellbent into making plays and gank from the very beginning. However, it was Amazing who lived up to his name, answering the Spaniard in every gank, especially at mid. This allowed cowTard on Kayle to get ahead in the game.

The Wolves may not have the toughest team comp, but with Kayle and Vladimir dealing tons of AoE damage, they surely packed a punch. Jree and Kev1n on Morgana and Trundle respectively weren't as effective as they have hoped. While they were swinging as hard as CW in terms of objectives and teamfights, in the end MIL wasn't able to get the fights they wanted, and fell to the ruthless Wolves.


SK brought back a pocket Kayle support for nRated, who had a knack of using unorthodox picks like Galio. While Froggen display is strong skill in outfarming his opponent, he was the only member of Alliance who was ahead. Not only did Shook get caught out early, but CandyPanda was picking up kills left and right.

Alliance tried to equalize the game by rushing down towers, but SK continuously keep catching its foes in rotation, using their superior skirmish comp. Froggen and his team wasn't able to get the strong AoE engage that they needed, and  things got worse when they were aced, which lead to a baron loss. From there, the lead was just too great and SK keeping rising ahead in the standings.


The final game started out with Moopz and Impaler showing why enemies should ban out Gragas and Pantheon against them. With a solo kill in the mid lane by and a successful dive at bot, SHC's mid and jungler were simply on fire. This early dominance meant early dragons, as well as strong jungle invades, catching ROCCAT members off-guard and stealing their buffs.

Around 20 minutes, the gold lead was already very significant in favor of the SUPA HOT CREW. With relentless pressure via sieging, even Xaxus on Trundle wasn't enough to relieve any sort of pressure with his splitpushing. A safe and systematic dismantling of the top EU team right now, SHC take a well-deserved win, making the entire EU LCS standings as intense and tight as before.
