IEM WC Semi-Final #2: SK Telecom T1 vs. CJ Blaze
It's the final day of the IEM World Championship and we still had to find out who CJ Frost will meet in the final. SKT1 or Blaze? Check inside!
SK Telecom T1 vs CJ Entus Blaze
Game 1
Bans:
Picks:
SKT1 started the game with a lot of lane swapping – Reapered went mid, Suno on Lux bot and the duo lane was at top. Because of that we saw the usual fast turret pushing as CJ Blaze’s top lane fell by minute 4 and SKT1’s bot one followed soon. We had to wait a bit more for first blood though – it happened after minute 9 as Cpt Jack took out Raven and only seconds after that Suno sniped Ambition with his laser. After a couple of more kills were traded SKT1 went to push mid lane but Blaze engaged on them and got 4 kills for only 1 death. They also took the outer mid turret but Helios stuck around a bit too long and fell to the SKT1 respawned players. They took Blaze’s outer mid turret in return as well.
A minute later a skirmish in front of the dragon pit showed that SKT1 can have a fight in their favour too as they aced Blaze, losing only 1. What followed was a lot of turret pushing from both sides and a few kills until it was yet another fight near the dragon. This time Blaze was the one that got the 5-1 score and it allowed them to pick up baron as well. From that moment on the game was more or less decided in Blaze’s favour though it took another ten minutes and a second baron for them to close it out.
Winner: CJ Blaze
Game 2
Bans:
Picks:
This time around it was Blaze who initiated the lane swap as we saw Cpt Jack and Lustboy in mid lane taking the turret around the 5 minute mark. Before that Helios already picked up a double kill in bot and things didn’t look bright for SKT1. Even after a messy engage in top lane where Reapered’s team managed to pick up 4 kills in total for only 2 deaths, Blaze remained on top of things split pushing, taking turrets, scoring kills.
SKT1 just couldn’t handle Flame’s Singed no matter how many people they sent after him and that pretty much sealed their fate. After Blaze was ahead enough to go for baron, their opponents tried to steal but couldn’t make it and that was enough for the CJ team to rush the base and finish the game.
Winner and advancing to the Final: CJ Blaze
The Bo5 final starts very soon at 12:45 CET and will be between the two CJ teams Frost and Blaze. Don't miss it!
