The first game of Group B featured SKT and C9. With C9 Impact facing his former team, all eyes were on the top lane.
C9 started aggressively with a short invade towards the top and SKT secured first blood by killing C9 Jensen.
The game progressed slowly, with SKT taking a slight gold lead as we reached the mid-game.
SKT’s Elise made his presence known by killing former teammate C9 Impact and securing the first tower at the 15-minute mark. This opened up a dominant display from SKT, as C9 Jensen struggled to make an impact.
Cloud9 got their first kill at the 20-minute mark, but SKT maintained a 7k gold lead.
After securing kills and an uncontested Baron, SKT pushed C9 completely out of the game.
After a last ditch attempt from C9 to get an ace, SKT took down C9’s towers and inhibitors to secure their first win and claim the top spot in the group.
