RESULTS: Vitality Set Up Match Point after another 3rd Place Match Victory

After the devastating loss in game 2, Vitality have bounced back to claim victory in game 3, setting themselves up for match point in this 3^rd place series against Splyce. Here’s a brief breakdown of the match.

Vitality struck first in this match, though not at their opponents this time. Claiming a very early Dragon, Vitality signalled their intent to outplay their opponents, rather than trying to outfight them. With the bot lane applying pressure, Vitality claimed first blood of this match, though Splyce was quick to respond with a Dragon of their own. With the bot lane seeming secured, Vitality moved to the top side, picking up the Rift Herald and a couple of turrets before Splyce could respond.

The Splyce response, when it arrived, was devastating to Vitality, as multiple objectives fell in rapid succession to a renewed Splyce squad. Vitality continued to fight back, picking up more kills and looking to keep the tempo of the game in their favour. Securing another Dragon, Vitality looked for control over the Baron area, and when the inevitable fight broke out, it was Vitality who came out the clear winners, claiming four kills and the Baron buff.

With the added power of Baron now in their hands, Vitality moved across the map, claiming objective after objective. Cracking open the base of Splyce, Vitality wiped out multiple turrets and inhibitors, before a final crushing team fight saw Splyce wiped from the map. With nothing left to stand in their way, Vitality ended the match after 36 minutes with a gold lead of just over 11k.

Vitality stand poised to claim victory, setting up match point in this series against Splyce. For more from this series, check out the match recap from game 2, and for more information on when the rest of the games will be played, check out the Official Schedule page, here.
