This was crucial game for Team Liquid. Victory here would keep their dreams of Worlds Knockout Stage qualification alive. Defeat, would, however, see them heading home. SN needed to win against TL to keep up the pressure on G2, whom they would face in the final game of the day to decide the first spot if they beat TL here. It was the dream start of TL who invaded the SN jungle and claimed a massive First Blood. They steal away the red buff picking up another two kills but on the retreat, they lose just the one member in return as they move 1k ahead early with the lanes in disarray.

A Tactical victory keeps NA dreams alive

SN start a fight in the TL top jungle, while they get the early lead in the fight Tactical and CoreJJ joined late and turn it massively in favor of TL as they bring the gold lead to a neutral point. TL found yet another big play as the game ticks over to the 25th minute. A team fight breaks out and they keep all five members alive, dropping two from SN in return. They posture towards the Baron and secure it, killing two members of SN to boot. As they retreat back to their base they lose one but finally wipe SN inside the jungle as TL moved 5k ahead.

With the buff, they take the mid lane inhibitor and a free kill for their troubles. TL made a game-ending play on the bot side getting two early kills onto key members. They then pulled away, picking up yet another inhibitor as they try to end. Bin Teleports behind them, so TL pulled back but quickly re-engage when it looked like they’d left the base. TL manages to Ace SN and gets themselves to 2-3 to keep their Worlds dreams alive

  • Time: 32:28
  • Kills: 7-23
  • Turrets: 3-9
  • Gold: 55.4k – 64.5k
