The 100th professional game of Huang “Maple” Yi-Tang started off with a successful counter gank for the LMS. The IWC regional GPL got a little greedy and chased a low Ryze into a four-man team, resulting in first blood for the LMS region.
At the seven-minute mark, there was some action in the bot lane which gifted GPL their first kill of the game. However, it came at the cost of two kills for the LMS after a teleport from Chen “Ziv” Yi.
The early stages of the game saw the LMS dominating, with another failed gank in the mid resulting in a double kill and the first dragon for the LMS by the 10-minute mark.
The IWC team seemed unable to make a comeback as the LMS secured their first ace and three towers from a multi-lane team effort a few minutes after taking the dragon. Just 13 minutes into the game, the LMS had a 10,000 gold lead.
The GPL team had no luck, with the LMS slowly but surely taking more kills, towers, and objectives. They secured their first inhibitor before the 20-minute mark, leaving the IWC’s GPL struggling to do anything. In the end, the LMS finished off the game in under 20 minutes, securing the win for Team Ice.
