RESULTS: Splyce Regain Control of the 3rd Place Series, Set Up Game 5
By Zac Cameron ·
After another crushing victory, Splyce have set up a game 5 showdown in their series against Vitality.
With so much on the line for both of these teams, it’s simply a matter of which team can get themselves under control first. Splyce have managed to come away with the victory once more, setting up an epic game 5 showdown. Here’s a brief breakdown of the match.
It was to be another objective focused game this time around, as both teams looked for map advantage over the other. Vitality picked up the first Dragon of the game, though both teams would manage to claim a turret apiece as well. It wasn’t until sometime after Vitality claimed their second Dragon that the match really started to heat up. First blood was claimed by Splyce, after the mid lane became a brawl.
The teams pulled back from direct conflict for a time, as Vitality picked up another Dragon and two more turrets while Splyce claimed a Dragon of their own. When the fighting started again, Splyce secured three more kills before looking to vision control around the Baron. After forcing Vitality away from the area, Splyce moved to secure the Baron buff, adding its power to their own as they sought to siege their opponent’s base.
With the power of the Baron buff, Splyce were able to secure multiple outer turrets as well as more kills before pulling back. After taking down more turrets, Splyce looked to contest the Dragon, though Vitality was quick to secure the objective and turn on their enemy, picking up their first kill of the match. As Vitality overextended in the bot lane, Splyce moved to secure the Baron and use its power to try and gain further advantage. Catching Vitality out in the jungle, Splyce quickly claimed more kills before moving into the base of Vitality. With little defence available, Vitality were quickly overwhelmed, as Splyce pushed through to close out the game in just over 39 minutes with a gold lead of 11.8k.
With the series now tied 2-2, we’re set for an epic game 5 showdown to determine who will claim 3rd place, and who will be left wanting.
