Astralis v MAD Lions

First blood to Astralis as they send three members top-side to punish MAD. It was a quiet early game, with MAD not getting a kill until the 14-minute mark. However, they’d also picked up two Drakes giving them a late-game win condition. The first team fight started with advantage MAD, before Astralis turned it. They knocked down two members of MAD before picking up a Drake. Crucially this delayed MAD’s ability to claim Soul Point. With MAD’s playoff hopes in the balance, every fight was tense. With kills traded back-and-forth, the gold lead was even at the 27-minute mark. With the Soul Drake on the map, MAD took their moment to pick a fight. MAD won the fight and claimed the Drake as they gave themselves an important win condition.

With Baron secured, MAD was too strong for Astralis to handle. With inhibitors broken the base was next as MAD claimed the victory. The win kept MAD in the playoffs, though Vitality could decide MAD’s fate for them later in the day.

Rogue v Team BDS

Rogue picked up first blood, which was instantly traded back to BDS. While not much else happened in the opening 12-minutes, Rogue took a 4k lead as they starved BDS of gold. By the 20-minute mark, Rogue had extended their lead to 7k with BDS needing something special to get back in the game. BDS tried to find one such engage but Rogue was too strong as they claimed four kills. While Baron was on the map, Rogue decided to get some early kills beforehand. Knocking down four members of BDS before turning their attention to the Baron. Baron is too much for BDS to handle as Rogue walked through the base. Rogue kept their grip on the top spot, with just one more game to play.
