RESULTS: Splyce Crush H2K, Lock In Playoff Spot
By Zac Cameron ·
Splyce have secured their spot in the EU LCS playoffs after taking down H2K in convincing fashion, but that doesn't mean they're willing to relax right now.
With today’s victory, Splyce have locked in their spot in the playoffs, being unable to finish worse than 6th. But after today’s performance, it’s pretty clear that this team isn’t willing to settle down and relax at this point.
The game got off to a great start for Splyce, with a gank in the top lane from jungler Andrei "Xerxe" Dragomir securing first blood. A small skirmish that resulted in two more kills for Splyce, and they were able to rotate to secure the Rift Herald and first turret shortly after. While H2K was able to take down two turrets for themselves, the next major conflict would come when H2K attempted to rush down the Baron. In the ensuing team fight, H2K managed to secure the Baron buff, but were quickly cut down by a collapsing Splyce attack, with only H2K mid laner Marcin "Selfie" Wolski able to escape with his life.
Splyce quickly capitalized on this, taking down multiple objectives in rapid succession, including the first Dragon of the game, and after taking down H2K’s support in a mid lane skirmish, began to siege the base. After taking down the first inhibitor, Splyce pulled back to secure the Baron, and with the added power redoubled their attack, pushing H2K back into their own base. A final team fight saw three of H2K’s squad fall as their defences were swept aside completely. With this victory, Splyce are now safely locked into playoffs, but they still stand a chance at possibly securing the first seed, depending on how other results go in the coming weeks.
