NA LCS Match Recaps for Day 2 of Week2

As we close out the second week of the NA LCS Summer Split, we can take a look at the teams that have learned from their mistakes last week, and claimed victory here today. Here’s a brief breakdown of the matches from day 2 of week 2 in the NA LCS Summer Split.

Flyquest vs OpTic Gaming

An extremely close back and forth match to open the day saw Flyquest ultimately claim victory despite both teams making several mistakes over the course of the match. Both teams were able to gain the gold lead at various times during this match, as the kills and objectives flowed both ways, before a final fight on the doorstep of Flyquest’s base gave them the breathing space they needed to push OpTic back and ultimately set themselves up for victory.

Cloud9 vs 100 Thieves

Depending on when you started watching this match, the end result could be seen as an upset for both teams. Cloud9 managed to build up a fairly impressive lead through the mid game as they continued to apply pressure across the map to take down members of 100 Thieves wherever they could. Unfortunately, a series of objectives scored by 100 Thieves allowed them to reel in the gold differential and it wasn’t long before Cloud9 had fallen behind in every metric that mattered, with 100 Thieves ending the match with a hard fought victory.

Team Liquid vs TSM

A very one-sided match between these two teams saw Team Liquid come out on top to make this week a 2-0 week. Here’s our more detailed breakdown of their match and weekend.

Clutch Gaming vs CLG

Not ones to let their clash start slowly, these two teams came out of the gates swinging hard to achieve one of the earliest first bloods we’ve seen in a while. CLG managed to use this early aggression to gain a small gold lead very early on, which they held onto throughout the match regardless of the actions of their opponents. That’s not to say that Clutch Gaming didn’t put forth their best efforts, rather these two teams continued to battle for every conceivable objective, refusing to allow anything to get away for free. At times it seemed as though Clutch Gaming would be able to mount a comeback, picking up huge fights and even the Baron buff, however CLG maintained their control over the battle and held on long enough to claim victory.

Echo Fox vs Golden Guardians

Despite the Golden Guardians getting an early lead, they were unable to hold back the strength of Echo Fox in this battle, with the tide shifting almost as much as Echo Fox top laner Huni shifts position. Here’s a more detailed breakdown of this game.

That’s all the games to close out week 2 in the NA LCS Summer Split. For more information on when these teams will clash again, check out the official schedule page, here.
