Schalke 04 Achieves Dominant Victory Over Origen, Keeps Playoff Hopes Alive
In a dominant display, Schalke 04 emerged victorious against Origen, keeping their hopes alive for reaching the 2020 LEC Summer Split playoffs.
Schalke 04’s jungler Erberk “Gilius” Demir showcased his skill on Lee Sin, making crucial decisions that led the League of Legends team to secure the win.
Key Moments in the Match
The game started with Schalke 04 making proactive plays. Gilius played a central role, contributing to every kill in the mid-game. Origen, however, traded their lives to secure dragons, hoping it would help them win the game.
The fate of Origen was sealed during a fight around the dragon pit at the 23-minute mark. Schalke 04 aced Origen without losing a single member, securing the dragon and putting themselves on track for victory.
After Origen managed to pick off two Schalke 04 members, their chances of a comeback improved. However, Gilius stopped Origen in their tracks. When Origen attempted to take the Baron with five members, Gilius engaged all five and stole it from under their noses.
With the Baron buff, Schalke 04 pushed into Origen’s base and cleanly ended the game.
Playoff Chances for Schalke 04
Before this win, Schalke 04 had a four-percent chance of making the playoffs, as reported by LoLEsports. With this victory, their chances have now doubled to eight percent. Every win is crucial for Schalke 04 to stay in the playoff race.
Schalke 04 faces two tough opponents, MAD Lions and Fnatic, as well as an easier matchup against Vitality in the upcoming week. If they manage to win all three matches, their chances of reaching the playoffs will significantly increase.
Stay tuned during the final week of the LEC to see if Schalke 04 can continue their Cinderella story and secure a spot in the Summer Split playoffs.
