100 Thieves Advance to NA LCS Semifinals
By Zac Cameron ·
After a dominant performance today, 100 Thieves will be moving on to the semifinals of the North American League of Legends Championship Series.
The clashes in the NA LCS are only set to grow fiercer, as the teams battle for both the Summer Split Championship, and also for a potential spot at the World Championships later this year. This series between 100 Thieves and Flyquest was as quick as it was conclusive, with 100 Thieves proving they have what it takes to claim victory in the post-season. Here’s a brief breakdown of the series.
Match One
The first match was an exciting one to open the day, as both teams traded the lead nearly as often as they traded kills. After initially pulling ahead in the early game, 100 Thieves found themselves falling behind as Flyquest stepped up their objective control. However, as time went on Flyquest proved to be unable to capitalize on their successes, as they began to struggle to hold their lead. Ultimately, 100 Thieves were able to turn the gold deficit around and pick up the win after a stunning team fight.
Match Two
The second match was not quite as close as the first, with 100 Thieves never falling behind like they did earlier. Flyquest still tried their best to keep apace of their opponents, however they were unable to create as many opportunities as in the previous match, handing the victory to 100 Thieves.
Match Three
The final match saw both teams come out of the gates swinging, though it was Flyquest who were able to take the lead after cementing their objective control. It didn’t take long for Flyquest to turn their small lead into a large one, as they looked sure to close out the match and keep their series alive. However, 100 Thieves refused to roll over and somehow managed to turn the match around despite their incredible gold deficit. By the end of the match, 100 Thieves had made a comeback worthy of praise as they sealed the series win and claimed their spot in the semifinals.
With the quarterfinals matches now concluded, 100 Thieves will advance to face the defending NA LCS champions, Team Liquid, in the semifinal matches next week.
