RESULTS: 100 Thieves steal the victory from TSM

With both teams sitting so close to the middle of the pack, any movement in either direction could have dire consequences for their position heading into playoffs. Here’s a brief breakdown of the action.

First blood went to TSM after a protracted skirmish in the bot lane spilled over into the mid lane, with support Alfonso "Mithy" Aguirre Rodríguez and jungler Michael "MikeYeung" Yeung diving onto 100T Yoo "Ryu" Sang-wook to take him down, before both teams were force to pull back. In return, 100 Thieves bot lane duo of Cody “Cody Sun” Sun and Zaqueri “aphromoo” Black push in the bot lane and take the turret.

A large team fight in the top lane breaks out after TSM attempt to dive past the turret to take down Cody Sun and aphromoo, however 100 Thieves are able to turn the fight, taking down Søren "Bjergsen" Bjerg in the process. Another protracted team fight around the Dragon allows TSM to secure it, and both teams pull away with no casualties.

While rotating to secure vision around the Baron pit, 100 Thieves catch out TSMs top laner and jungler in a corridor, taking them both down and moving to secure the Dragon unopposed. While trying to push multiple lanes at once, 100 Thieves top laner, Kim "Ssumday" Chan-ho, is caught out of position by TSM, who quickly rotate back to the mid lane to take down aphromoo and Ryu, blunting the effect of the Baron push.

TSM attempt to engage onto 100 Thieves in the mid lane, however the fight is turned around on them, and TSM lose three members for just one kill. TSM attempt to contest the Baron but are forced away the 100 Thieves, who secure the buff and rotate to the top lane to begin the siege. When a fight breaks out, it seems that TSM have forced 100T away, but an attempt at a flank costs Mithy and Bjergsen their lives, allowing 100 Thieves the opportunity to push into the base of TSM and end the game. A last ditch defence by the surviving members of TSM manage to repel the attack, and both teams regroup around the Elder Dragon, which is ultimately secured by TSM.

As both teams are rotating to the Baron area, TSM members are caught out of position by 100 Thieves, with top laner Kevin "Hauntzer" Yarnell falling. As 100 Thieves secure the Baron, Bjergsen teleports to the bot lane to take the inhibitor turret and divide their attention. TSM attempt to position for the respawned Elder Dragon, but 100 Thieves catch them out of position, taking down four members and pushing into the base to end the game.
