FlyQuest topped Evil Geniuses in the opening round of the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:League of Legends Championship Series Summer Playoffs on Friday. After a near-reverse s𒁏weep, FlyQuest's decisive victory in Game 5 staved off the Evil Geniuses 🙈comeback.
As the third seed in the LCS ꧅Summer Playoffs, FlyQuest came into the series as favorites to win against the sixth-seeded Evil Geniuses.
With FlyQuest having two strong victories in Games 1 and 2, it ༒felt like a 3-0 series sweep was inevitable. Evil Geniuses came into the series with a clear game plan of drafting an engage-heavy composition, highlighted by Heo "Huni" Seung-hoon's top lane Hecarim. But in Games 1 and 2, FlyQuest read their composition, and drafted hard-disengage to play around Huni and Evil Geniuses' advances.
After a tight Evil Geniuses victory in Game 3, Huni and Greyson "Goldenglue" Gilmer were able to combine for some impressive synergy on Shen and LeBlanc, forcing a Game 5. However, FlyQuest were able to hold off the reverse sweep and win the series, thanks tಌo two critical dragon-steals from jungler Lucas "Santorin" Tao Kilmer in the final game.
In a hyped up jungle matchup against Dennis "Svenskeren" Joh𝄹nsen, Santorin, got the better of the clash, winning Player of the Series and giving FlyQuest fans a strong showing on both Volibear and Gravesജ.
While FlyQuest will continue their trek in the upper ൩bracket against Cloud9 next week, Evil Geniuses will drop down to the lower bracket to compete against 100 Thieves this upcoming Sunday with their dreams of making it to Worlds on the line.
The LCS Summer Playoffs continue on Saturday with Dignitas facing off in a lower bracket matchup against Team SoloMid, after the latter lost to Golden Guardians on Thursday. The winner will continue on with a trip to Worlds on their minds, while the loser will pack their bags and have their 2020 season be declared over. The best-of-five series will be streaming live on Twitch and Youtube, starting at 4:00 PM, Eastern Time.
