RESULTS: Counter Logic Gaming Make a Stand, Taking Down Team Liquid

With not many games left until playoffs, every victory matters for the teams sitting lower on the ladder. CLG has certainly managed to prove that they are doing everything they can to advance, taking down Team Liquid in convincing fashion.

Counter Logic Gaming managed to secure first blood with a gank by Kim "Reignover" Yeu-jin onto the bot lane, before a collapse by the entire CLG line-up again onto the bot lane secured two more kills while also grabbing the first Dragon. In return, Team Liquid top laner Jung "Impact" Eon-yeong managed to rush down the top tower down to create space for his team. Both jungler paid a visit to the top lane, though an appearance from CLG support Vincent "Biofrost" Wang pushed away any reinforcements for Liquid, and Impact was taken down.

Another roam by Biofrost managed to catch out Impact in the jungle, while Team Liquid attempted to respond in the bot lane but found themselves stymied by CLG top laner Darshan "Darshan" Upadhyaya. With the second Dragon now spawned, CLG eliminate the jungler from Team Liquid and secure it, before rotating to secure the Rift Herald.

 With Baron now on the map, both teams looked to secure a vision advantage in the area, though it was CLG that struck first, ambushing Liquid and forcing them away before quickly taking their third Dragon and moving back to the Baron area. With vision secured, CLG manage to secure the Baron and turn to fight Liquid, taking down three members before rushing down the mid lane to take the inhibitor.

With mid lane now open, CLG then turned to the bot lane, rushing down the turrets and destroying the inhibitor to open up the base. Liquid attempted to make a last stand, but CLG managed to take down their carries and end the game, giving them a 2-0 week.
