RESULTS: Echo Fox Set New Game-time Record in Super Quick Takedown of Team Liquid
By Zac Cameron ·
Echo Fox stabilize their weekend with an extremely fast victory over Team Liquid, cementing their place as the dominant team in the North American LCS.
No new champions for this match between Echo Fox and Team Liquid, but that doesn’t mean records aren’t being broken. In their decisive victory over Team Liquid, Echo Fox has managed to set a new fastest game time of the NA LCS Spring Split 2018, taking down Liquid in just Twenty-Two minutes and Forty-Five seconds.
Echo Fox’s top laner Heo “Huni” Seung-hoon again chose to run Yasuo, a champion he had success with last weekend, in a game where objective control was the phrase of the day. Echo Fox managed to completely shut out Liquid from all neutral map objectives, and even prevented them from securing even a single turret, leaving four kills the only consolation prize for Liquid.
The gold advantage ran fairly even throughout the early game, but once Echo Fox kicked things into gear, they proved to be unassailable, totalling an advantage of over Ten-Thousand gold by the end of the game.
Team Liquid may have had a plan to shut Huni down during this match, but that only left the rest of Echo Fox the opportunity to flourish, with three members managing to post a deathless game. In the post-game interview, Echo Fox mid laner Kim “Fenix” Jae-hun spoke about his thoughts on the mid lane match-up, as well as his desire to make sure that he doesn’t lose to his former team.
