Team WE Dominates Flash Wolves in Exciting MSI Match
Team WE from the LPL showcased their dominance in a thrilling match against Flash Wolves from the LMS at MSI. The match lasted for just under 30 minutes, with Team WE emerging as the clear victors.
Team WE introduced Bard, a champion who has recently received buffs, in their first-ever MSI match during the group stage. Flash Wolves aimed to survive Team WE’s early-game pressure and secure a late-game victory.
Team WE started the game aggressively, putting pressure on Flash Wolves and forcing them to retreat under the towers while being low on health. Team WE aimed to gain an early-game advantage through superior CS.
Team WE’s Kled pick for top laner Ke “957” Chang-Yu proved to be a wise choice. As soon as Kled reached level six, 957 used his ultimate to charge at the enemy Rumble, who had been stunned by Elise’s gank, securing an easy first blood and giving Team WE a significant gold lead.
Flash Wolves displayed a lack of respect towards Team WE’s Elise, which led to Rumble overextending and giving away another kill in the top lane. This allowed Kled to take the first tower and exert control over the map, causing major problems for Flash Wolves.
Despite being caught off guard, Flash Wolves managed to score a crucial kill in the mid lane for their jungler Karsa, keeping themselves in the game.
This kill revitalized Flash Wolves as they swiftly secured three kills and their first tower in the botlane. However, Team WE quickly responded by having Kled split push and take a second inner tower, gaining further control over the map.
Team WE’s strategy revolved around split pushing and avoiding team fights. Even if they were caught out in a lane, one of the sidelanes would continue pushing. This forced Flash Wolves to deal with Kled or risk losing a tower.
Even if Flash Wolves forced a fight onto the other four members of Team WE, 957 always had teleport available to join the fight and provide assistance.
957 delivered one of the best plays of the tournament. While split pushing in the botlane, three members of Flash Wolves attempted to kill him. Although they managed to take down 957 and eliminate his Guardian Angel, Team WE used this distraction to secure the Baron. 957 then miraculously revived with a sliver of health and escaped, sealing the victory for Team WE.
Following this play, Team WE grouped up in the mid lane, stormed the enemy base, destroyed the Nexus, and won the game. 957 ended the match with an impressive score of seven kills, four assists, and zero deaths.
Flash Wolves will now compete against G2 Esports from the EU LCS, while Team WE will face North America’s TSM in the final match of the day.
