RESULTS: 100 Thieves Knock Out Golden Guardians, Secure Playoffs Berth

Another team looking for revenge, 100 Thieves needed to win this game to secure their spot in playoffs. The Golden Guardians certainly didn’t want to roll over however, a loss here would mean the end of their playoff hopes. Here’s a brief breakdown of the matches.

First blood was claimed by 100 Thieves, with jungler William "Meteos" Hartman travelling to the top lane to take down Samson "Lourlo" Jackson, giving Kim "Ssumday" Chan-ho some breathing room. The Golden Guardians quickly made a move to invade the jungle of 100 Thieves, and in the ensuing team fight 100 Thieves managed to claim two more kills and putting them slightly ahead.

In the bot lane, the duo from 100 Thieves manage to take down GGS AD Carry Matthew "Deftly" Chen in a straight 2v2, before Meteos arrives to provide more pressure. With pressure traded across the map, 100 Thieves secure the Dragon while GGS attempt to secure the Rift Herald, but reinforcements from 100T arrive to push GGS away, netting them a kill and the Rift Herald, before rotating to the top lane to take down the turret there.

With the power of the Rift Herald, 100 Thieves are able to take down two turrets in the mid lane while also taking down mid laner Hai “Hai” Du Lam. Both teams continue to trade turrets while 100 Thieves secure their second Dragon of the game, before looking to secure vision around the Baron pit. 100 Thieves start the Baron, and when GGS came to contest they found themselves pushed out of the pit after losing their jungler.

With the power of Baron secured, 100 Thieves began to push the bot lane, taking down the turrets and destroying the inhibitor, before a massive team fight breaks out in the mid lane. Four members of GGS fall quickly as 100 Thieves lock in their playoffs berth, and knock GGS out of contention.
