LCK Week 2 -Day 1

KT VS. KZ

• Winner: King Zone DragonX

It’s fitting for the first game of LCK Week 2 to be KT Rolster versus KingZone. Game 1’s early game was all about KingZone’s Kim “Rascal” Kwang-hee’s and Moon “Cuzz” Woo-chan’s good synergy to pick off KT’s Song “Smeb” Kyung-ho in the top lane.

However, KingZone threw away their early lead (after securing all three early drakes) by taking extended team fights and giving away kills to KT’s lineup. The combination of Smeb landing fully-charged Sion Qs and Gwak “Bdd” Bo-seong’s Yasuo ults proved to be decimating in team fights and after winning a clean ace in the team fight, KT was able to secure the baron – turning the midgame back into their favor.

Game 1 looked like it belonged to KT, having taken two inhibitors and both nexus turrets, but their rush to end proved fatal as KingZone respawned just in time to kill all of KT’s team and delay the game a little further. Soon after, in a very close 5v5 team fight, KingZone’s Kim “Deft” Hyuk-kyu on Ashe became unstoppable, dealing unfair amounts of damage and swinging the momemtum back into KingZone’s favor. With a few more picks from Deft’s pinpoint accurate Ashe ults, KingZone finally got the second baron and were able to win the game with a miraculous turn-around.

Game 2, while certainly not as exciting to watch as Game 1 was still a treat to watch. In the early game, KingZone won top lane while KT won bottom. However, after a messy team fight in which KingZone came out on top with a 3 for 0, Deft’s Jinx finally came online and dealt tonnes of damage, ripping straight through KT’s lineup.

KingZone easily secured the Baron and with another team fight win, were able to end Game 2 much earlier than Game 1. This match was definitely a redeeming one for KingZone – especially Deft and Heo “PawN” Won-seok – but also unfortunately exposed Smeb’s inability to play assassins like Akali in the top lane.

HLE VS. GRF

• Winner: Griffin

Contrary to all expectation, HLE certainly put up a good fight in Game 1 of their match against Griffin. Hanwha’s Kim “bonO” Ki-beom on Xin Zhao was much stronger than Lee “Tarzan” Seung-yong’s Sejuani in the early game, and the underdog team pulled ahead in the early game. HLE continuously scored front-to-back team fight wins pre-20 minutes and even secured all three early drakes.

However, as per usual Griffin style, a good Sion engage from Choi “Sword” Sung-won and Park “Viper” Do-hyeon ulting into the backline as Kai’sa gave them the miraculous team fight win they needed to turn around the game. With a clean ace, Griffin secured the baron despite being 9k gold behind previous to the fight and end the game complete with a Viper Pentakill.

After finding early success on the Xin Zhao in Game 1, bonO once again played the champion to relative success in the early game. However, with a poke-heavy bot lane favoring Griffin with Son “Lehends” Si-woo on Fiddlesticks. HLE’s Gwon “Sangyoon” Sang-yun fell behind as bot lane Viktor. Unfortunately for HLE, Griffin’s Jeong “Chovy” Ji-hoon on Akali eventually grew into a monster, getting really fed and even getting two solo-kills while getting out alive in a 1v4 situation. With such a fed mid-laner, Griffin eventually closed out Game 2 with the baron.
