A Team-Effort & A Game-Winning Pentakill For Splyce In EU LCS

Week 2 of the League of Legends Championship series across both the United States and Europe were packed full of great moments. Teams like EchoFox thrived over the competition in the NA LCS. Meanwhile in Europe, there were a good deal of great matches, punctuated by a fantastic pentakill and teamsweep that set up the win for Splyce over FC Schalke 04.

There were a lot of things going in just 30 seconds of this game. As Splyce pushed under Schalke's tower, the team divided their effort between keeping the enemy team controlled and engaged while also taking the tower out and making the ground a safe place to fight. When it was time to go crazy, Andrei "Xerxe" Dragomir on Zac managed to catch Milo "Pride" Wehnes of Schalke out of place and carry him to the back lines of the Splyce formation, forcing Schalke to either run or answer for it. Schalke chose to answer and it does not go well for them.

The undisputable star of this highlight was Kasper "Kobbe" Kobberup of team Splyce, rocking Caitlyn as the attack damage carry for his team. In the chaotic fight, Kobbe picked targets between abilities and shots and maximized the full potential of Caitlyn's range and forced critical hits to do tremendous damage. It didn't help Schalke that Erlend Våtevik "Nukeduck" Holm threw his ult for Azir in hopes of pushing Splyce under some tower damage. Nuke unintentionally created a wall for which the remnants of his team could pass to escape Splyce. Kobbe capitalized, landing the finishing damage on every single one of the Schalke roster and prioritized in a spectacular way that made the march up to the Schalke home base an easy endeavor.
