M5 are the current Kings of the Hill for the in2LoL tournament. They defeated Fnatic in a bo5 last week and this week SK challenges them! The prize pool today is 500€.

UPDATES: 23:40 CEST: M5 win the final game and take the 500€ home! Both teams played very well but in the end there can only be one winner. Congratulations to M5. Check below for a statement from both captains.
23:40 CEST:SK picking up the 4th map, 2-2. It's all coming down to this last game in this full bo5 series. SK doing an amazing job as a team and as individuals. 5th and final game starting in a moment!
22:40 CEST:3rd game going to M5, score now 2-1 in their favour. Lee Sin was not on our side to make the plays and all in all a good performance by M5. 4th game coming up soon.
21:55 CEST:M5 manage to pick up the 2nd game. SK have played an amazing early game and got ahead. The teamfights in the later game did not go as planned, so on to the 3rd game!
21:10 CEST: SK picking up the first map with Svenskeren doing an excellent job as Lee Sin. Youngbuck feeling at home on that top lane with Malphite playing brilliantly. Let's hope we only have 2 more maps to go!

Tonight we will find 2 great teams in the King of the Hill Tournament. On the bottom we have our very own

SK Gaming who will climb the hill towards

Moscow Five who are standing on top, defending their throne.

Besides these two amazing teams we'll be hearing two great casters on the livestream, no other than Trevor 'qu1ksh0t' Henry and Christopher 'Panky' Pankhurst will provide the commentary.

If you want to find out more about the tournament you can go here.

We will be rooting for SK who you can also follow as we'll be having Ocelote's and Youngbuck's stream! So tune in tonight at 20:00 CEST for this best of five series and stay tuned to this newspost as we'll update on the events of this evening here.

Statements from both team captains after the bo5 series:
Alex_ich:

"Very nice series, SK played really well. We tried weird pick 1st game, it didn't work. In second game we got counterjungled, but we got much better teamfight comp that gave us win with comeback, third game went kinda smooth for us with leesin in jungle. 4th game I think we got outpicked and outplayed totally. 5th game we did hardcamp top so youngbuck was totally out of game and our botlane did good so we came victorious. Thanks to SK for those games, was really nice to play against them"

Ocelote:

"I believe this best of 5 was a good test for us, and we realized that we aren't far away from the best teams.
M5 is currently, if not the best, one of the best world's teams and being able to face them properly even tho we got outplayed in some situations is worth the efforts we're putting into this.

Props to Diamond and Svenskeren in these series."
