LCK week two – day four

AFS VS. KZ

  • Winner: King Zone DragonX

Afreeca continued their roster shenanigans on Day 4 as well, with Spirit switching to mid lane on Morgana and Ucal playing in the bot lane as Azir. In a fight for first blood, KingZone was able to turn around a 3v3 and score a double kill for Deft on Varus despite getting engaged on.

Cuzz’s repeatedly accurate Jax stun engages continued to win KingZone team fights and in a 5v5 around baron, KingZone came out on top with a 4 for 0, with Park “TusiN” Jong-ik on Tahm Kench even claiming a kill onto Kiin’s Lucian in the aftermath. Having gotten baron and all three inhibitors, KingZone ended the game with a 12k gold lead.

Spirit was once again on Morgana in Game 2, this time however in the bot lane. To counter the Morgana pick, Deft opted for Ziggs bot, demonstrating his wide champion pool already in the second week of LCK. His wide champion pool wasn’t the only thing impressive in this game though, as his god-like dodging skills were also on display, having dodged three flash-skill shots from the Afreeca line up and even securing a kill onto Dread on Camille.

The mid-game went pretty even despite KingZone’s early game dominance, with Afreeca proving they were still in the game with a few kills and baron take. However, KingZone were ultimately stronger with the gold lead and in a messy final team fight, they won 5 for 0 and ended the series with another win.

SBG VS. HLE

  • Winner: SANDBOX Gaming

Game 1 began full of doubts as SANDBOX drafted a composition with all melee and mid range champions. Also uncharacteristicly for both teams, there weren’t many kills in the early game but SANDBOX eventually secured a lead, winning all three lanes with early priority pushing champions. In the mid game, SANDBOX were also able to take the baron and even win the following team fight with a 5 for 2.

HLE were unable to stall SANDBOX’s baron push as they continuously overextended out of their base and got picked off, leading to a clean end from SANDBOX.

In Game 2, HLE replaced all their players from Game 1 except for Sangyoon and Kim “key” Han-gi. The decision looked good when Kim “Moojin” Moo-jin picked up first blood off Summit’s Darius in a level 1 invade, but SANDBOX retaliated soon after with a good mid lane gank from OnFleek on Lee-sin.

With both a farm and level lead across all their lanes, SANDBOX were able to two-man baron and even secure all 5 drakes. SANDBOX aced HLE at 33 minutes in a 5 for 0 team fight win and ended the game in a dominant fashion.
