Eclypsia Picks:

fredy122 - Top - Renekton

tabzz - Mid - Ahri

kilwar - ADC - Tristana

kazmitch - Support - Taric

KMT Picks:

arQuel - Top - Yorick

r3dz0r - Mid - Katarina

Nzq - ADC - Ezreal

Wost Sona EU - Support - Lulu

Woolite - Jungle - Lee Sin

Renekton (fredy122) dominate Yorick (arQuel) frrom minute one in top lane. It was good to see tabzz playing again as he had a great game as Ahri. r3dz0r matched him as Katarina in lane, but tabzz's early game roaming was much more successful. KMT's high mobility comp experienced a resurgence in mid game as Yorick's ult allowed Katarina to go all in for 20 seconds. Eclypsia maintained their overall advantage and were able to end the game with Tristana (kilwar) sniping from the back lane and taking target after target down.

EC 1, KMT 0

Game Two:

Eclypsia Picks:

fredy122 - Top - Renekton

tabzz - Mid - Diana

kilwar - ADC - Ashe

kazmitch - Support - Taric

ImSoFresh - Jungle - Lee Sin

KMT Picks:

arQuel - Top - Shen

r3dz0r - Mid - Evelynn

Nzq - ADC - Caitlyn

Wost Sona EU - Support - Lulu

Woolite - Jungle - Jarvan IV

KMT were allowed to pick Shen for arQuel and seemed much more comfortable with this comp heading into game two. Their confidence paid off and they enjoyed a 10-0 start, seven of them going to Evelynn (r3dz0r), and a huge farm advantage for Caitlyn (Nzq) over Ashe (kilwar). Evelynn made KMT's first mistake just after the 20 minute mark and got stuck under a turret, starting off a retreat in which they lost three champions for free. Lee Sin (ImSoFresh) was able to pull off a clutch Baron steal at 28 minutes, but it did little more than slow KMT down and EC's nexus fell at 35 minutes.

EC 1, KMT 1

Game Three:

Eclypsia Bans:

Rengar, Lulu, Shen

Eclypsia Picks:

fredy122 - Top - Jayce

tabzz - Mid - Ahri

kilwar - ADC - Corki

kazmitch - Support - Taric

ImSoFresh - Jungle - Udyr

KMT Bans:

Fizz, Nunu, Sona

KMT Picks:

arQuel - Top - Yorick

r3dz0r - Mid - Evelyn

Nzq - ADC - Ezreal

Wost Sona EU - Support - Soraka

Woolite - Jungle - Jarvan IV

KMT were able to take the first dragon of the game after getting ahead in kills and it seemed Eclypsia would have to work for their series to the end. Eclypsia were able to outfarm KMT in every lane despite their early struggles. EC started winnning engagements as mid game developed. The game came to a head at a 25 minute dragon dance where KMT mysitfyingly hard engaged and quickly got overhwelmed for their aggression. EC picked up dragon, followed by Baron and an ace, forcing the surrender vote from KMT. It is always somewhat bemusing to have such a close series end so abruptly, but the farm discrepancy showed that Eclypsia would only be getting stronger.

EC 2, KMT 1

Key Team Fight:

The deciding team fight was in the third game. Jarvan IV (Woolite) forced an ill-advised engagement and eclipsed his team's chances in the series with one fell swoop.

Most Valuable Player:

The MVP of the match goes to fredy122 for dominating arQuel in games one and three by outfarming, outpushing, and knowing when to join his team.

Fnatic outclass MYM and take a 2-0 victory

Game 1

Bans

Fnatic: Sona, Zilean, Yorick MYM: Jayce, Shen, Rengar

Picks

Fnatic: Ezreal (AD), Zyra (sup), Lee Sin (jun), Malphite (top), Diana (mid). MYM: Udyr (jun), Nunu (sup), Vayne (AD), Lux (mid), Vladimir (top).

A 1v1 in the jungle led to MYM picking up first blood via Mokatte who then headed botlane and picked up another fast kill. s0AZ was unfortunately having quite severe lag issues which contributed to him being killed under tower by Vlad. Once he  gets ahead it’s hard to stop Vlad and he pulled out quite a large CS lead. Over in botlane Vayne was having a terrible time, being behind on CS as well as having four deaths at the 15 minute mark. MYM had a small lead for quite some time but after a really nice fight near the Dragon Pit, Fnatic evened up the gold and took the kill lead. After that shift of momentum, Fnatic seized full control of the game and quickly took the first Inhib and a Nexus tower. However, a nice call from MYM allowed them to take Baron and this stalled Fnatic’s cruise to victory. Fnatic did manage to take the next Baron and win a teamfight in the process, taking game one shortly after.

Game 2

Bans

MYM: Jayce, Malphite, Zyra. Fnatic: Sona, Zilean, Rengar.

Picks

MYM: Shen (top), Corki (AD), Taric (sup), Anivia (mid), Maokai (jun). Fnatic: Ezreal (AD), Nunu (sup), Skarner (jun), Orianna (mid), Kennen (top).

MYM started highly aggressive as Maokai camped botlane at level one, taking Twisted Advance and securing first blood for Corki. This set him behind a little in his jungle as Skaner took his blue and an Exp lead. At 20 minutes the teams were even on kills- however superior farm and Dragon control meant Fnatic had a large 6k gold lead. Fnatic spent the game edging more and more ahead and ended up taking a fast win at 27 minutes. MYM never really seemed to be able to get into this game; despite them managing to keep up in kills for quite some time, Fnatic always looked in control.

MVP: xPeke takes this one. With fantastic play over both games, he was a key contributor to Fnatic’s victories. With fantastic roaming on Diana and sick farm on Orianna (293 at 26 minutes) as well as a 6/0/6 score, he really stole the show.

Fnatic are looking really strong and while MYM made a valiant effort to keep up with them, they were outclassed today. They still managed some exciting plays (the first Baron in game one and the level one lane gank in game two) but today was Fnatics day and they progress onto the next round!
