RESULTS: Luminosity Emerge On Top In H1PL Week 4 Game 1

SetToDestroyX were the team on everyone’s lips after completely dominating both rounds during week three. They came away with 44 points across both games and skyrocketed to the top of the league with 75 points, followed by Epsilon Esports in second with just 49. The rest of the league is much closer, and this week will be very telling in seeing which teams can earn some points to get into the top half. Following on from their incredibly aggressive and dominant performance last week, ProdigyAces picked up the MVP award and you can see more information on that below.

Round one kicked off after SetToDestroyX laid down some trash talk on stream, but whether they can back up their talk and re-enact their week three performance is still to be seen. The very first engagement came from Gankstars Buffalo taking a few shots at Epsilon’s BallonG as he fled the scene in a vehicle, but the first kill came from Rogue on Epsilon, with Melander being the first player eliminated. Interestingly, in both of last week’s games, BallonG was the first player to go down for Epsilon each time, so his survival could mean a better performance from Epsilon in at least this first game.

The next few minutes saw a lull in action, with teams trading shots across the map, but nobody picking up any more kills. Most teams started to centre around Salty Tear Lake, with just CLG, TSM and Vitality being the only two teams on the outskirts of the circle. CLG opened up the next phase of kills picking off someone from Tempo Storm, before Noble, Aliiance, Impact and TSM all jumped in on the action picking up a kill apiece. Bloodinferno for Impact charged at Alliance and picked off Mountain with a shotgun before being dropped, as the rest of his team fell simultaneously, making Impact the first team eliminated with just two kills.

TSM shortly followed suit, going out with three kills to their name, while SetToDestroyX got their names back on the board with five rapid kills. CLG were eliminated at the top of the list with seven kills, while Echo Fox also fell with just one. At this stage, GankStars are the only squad without a kill to their name, and only three members remaining. STDx mounted a charge at Epsilon, with four players against their two, and traded blows, with Riddarn escaping after taking out one STDx player.

STDx once again topped the list in the first round of the night with 10 kills, but Luminosity have all five players going into the final battle. They took control of the game from there and picked off the remaining few players on the map, winning game one with 18 points, while SetToDestroyX followed with 17.
