ImageThe second game of the round 1 in group B looks rather interesting. This game is a clash of the titans – read on in case you want to know which titan 'survived' the fight.

Even though Moscow 5 is known as a very strong offline team, Absolute Legends should not be underestimated. Both teams have proven several times, why they are considered as Europe's top teams. That being said, this game was sure to be a good one.

Group B, Round 1 PL Absolute Legends vs RU Moscow Five

AL Bans – Corki, Urgot and Ashe
M5 Bans – Nocturne, Nautilus and Cassiopeia


Absolute Legends Picks


Moscow 5 picks:


Similar to the first game, this one had the first blood happening on top lane, however the jungler got the kill this time. Not much time flew by and a dragon fight erupted. RU Moscow Five killed 3 and got a dragon, while they lost two members. Both bot lanes played very aggressive, however AL did not count in Shen's ultimate. With the help of Shen bot lane was able to kill Graves.

A couple of minutes later m5 was able to get another dragon. In addition to the dragons, m5 were 4 kills ahead after TF ganked top and put Irelia even further behind. PL Absolute Legends ' bot lane initiated a fight bot and killed Kog'maw, however Lee Sin showed up and turned the tides by killing both the supporter and the AD carry. Meanwhile Shen got caught at AL's golems and died to Olaf and Irelia.

At 23 minutes AL managed to get a dragon. However, this forced a fight, which they should not have fought as both Shen and TF got a double kill, while Kog'maw got the last kill. All in all, this was a 5 – 0 exchange in favor of M5, which eventually led to an uncontested baron.
While passing the 25 minutes mark m5 were 10k gold ahead and started pushing. Shen got caught at mid and died, however m5 still managed to kill 4 champions of AL in a 4-5. As only Irelia was alive on AL's team, m5 was able to chunk through 2 mid towers.
Finally M5 started using Shen strength and began to split push. AL did not have an answer for this, as m5 first managed to catch and kill Karthus and Taric, then destroy two inhibitors and finish the game.

Conclusion: Surprisingly, this game was a clear stomp. AL got destroyed and have to win every game from now on, in order to go through the group stage.
