The Flash Wolves Bounce Back with Victory over TSM at MSI
The Flash Wolves have regained their momentum with a win against TSM at MSI. After facing defeats against G2 Esports and Team WE in the group stage, the LMS champions had a difficult start. However, they managed to turn things around in their recent match.
Despite a poor start with FW’s top laner, Li-Hong “MMD” Yu, giving up an early kill to Dennis “Svenskeren” Johnsen and Kevin “Hauntzer” Yarnell, the team stayed resilient. Even with Svenskeren absent for a few minutes, MMD’s positioning in the lane left him vulnerable to a gank.
A few minutes later, FW’s jungler, Hao-Xuan “Karsa” Hong, secured a kill near the mid lane, setting the tone for a back-and-forth game. Whenever FW caught a TSM member, TSM would respond with a kill of their own. Similarly, whenever FW focused on killing Hauntzer, TSM would counter with tower objectives. The game seemed to be in a constant stalemate.
However, a single decisive fight turned the tides. TSM committed to killing Shou-Chieh “SwordArT” Hu’s Tahm Kench, leaving them defenseless against FW’s charge. In a matter of moments, FW eliminated the remaining TSM players and swiftly pushed for the victory.
With this win, FW now has two victories and two losses, a marked improvement from their performance yesterday. They will face off against the formidable SK Telecom T1 tomorrow at around 3pm ET.
