RESULTS: H2K Strike Down Misfits, Prove the Bottom Teams Are Still to Be Feared

Misfits may have beaten the first placed team yesterday, but as everyone knows when it comes to the EU LCS, sometimes the teams to watch out for are the ones sitting quite a bit lower on the ladder.

The match started out quite sedately, with Misfits prioritising objectives over kills, taking the first Dragon of the game alongside the Rift Herald. First blood would come when the Misfits squad crashed the bot lane in a larger than expected skirmish, as both teams struggled to take down priority targets. Both teams would trade turrets, however Misfits were able to catch out H2K’s mid laner Marcin "Selfie” Wolski and secure their second Dragon of the game. Misfits would go on to keep pressuring the defences of H2K, taking their third Dragon of the game in exchange for the life of their AD Carry, Steven “Hans Sama” Liv.

With the first Baron spawning, H2K finally turned up the heat, taking down both of Misfits carries and securing the Baron buff. With this newfound power, H2K was able to rapidly take down several turrets and pressure the base of Misfits, catching more members out of position. Misfits would rally when the buff wore off, securing their fourth Dragon of the match, however the pressure H2K had created was still present.

With the second Baron about to appear, H2K managed to again take down several members of Misfits, and with the power of the Baron again at their fingers, pushed into the base and began to destroy Misfits infrastructure. Individual members on both teams would fall, but H2K proved too strong to eliminate fully, taking down the base of Misfits and throwing the standings into disarray.
