Clutch Gaming Exerts their Dominance over TSM
By Zac Cameron ·
With a chance to prove their last victory was not a fluke, Clutch Gaming walks over a slumping TSM to cement their place in top half of the standings.
A rematch from week 4 was an opportunity for TSM to prove that their loss to Clutch Gaming was nothing but a fluke. Drafting a good team composition designed for team fighting, TSM looked to rely on their individual skill to win lanes, and work on their superior team fighting after that.
Unfortunately for the former regional champions, Clutch Gaming didn’t wake up on the wrong side of the bed today, with a team built around catching out members of TSM to create opportunities for team fights that would not be on even ground.
The early game appeared relatively even in terms of gold advantage, with TSM managing to keep pace with Clutch Gaming. When Clutch Gaming hit their pace however, nothing TSM could do would stop them. Clutch Gaming would go on to secure three Dragons to TSM’s one, two Barons to TSM’s zero, and one Elder Dragon to TSM’s zero. To make matters worse, TSM was only able to secure a single kill, and a single turret, up against Clutch Gaming’s ten kills and eleven turrets.
In a post-game interview, Clutch Gaming’s mid laner Fabian “Febiven” Diepstraten had some kind words for his bot lane team members.
