Game 1:

Picks:


The first game of the series was starting off rather slow with the first action being in the toplane after five minutes have gone as Shy's Singed went down to a gank, with Cloudtemplar then turning it around into a double kill for Frost.

After that point we saw Xin literally camping both the mid lane and the top lane of Gambit, shutting down Jax as well as Kha'Zix. Finally the first turret went down in the mid lane to three members of Frost.

This might already tell you the story of the game as CJ Frost dominated by just taking turrets all over the map with basically no response by Gambit. Once again we saw a Singed shining by just being Singed - split pushing, flinging people around and creating opportunities for his team.

A little bit later in a desperate try to stop another dragon for Frost, Gambit got caught in a fight they didn't want to take as three members of their team went down compared to no losses on the side of Frost. Eventually this lead to a successful baron and the push that ended the game for Frost, winning them the first game of the series.

Winner: CJE Frost

Game 2:

Picks:


The second game of the series was do or die already for Gambit Gaming and by the looks of it they knew they had to show something. This resulted in the game starting off with a small fight at Frost's blue buff which was taken away by Diamond's Nasus. This however was not the end of the level 1 action as Frost tried to invade onto the red buff in Gambit's side of the jungle. Not only they were not able to take it away from them though but they also gave away the first blood.

After this it was clear to everybody that Gambit was not going to go down without a fight as they permanently improved their lead, while slowly but surely starting to bully around Frost all over the map.

Every single team fight from now on went over to Gambit, with Frost's hopes of closing the series in a quick 2-0 died with every champion going down to Gambit.

Eventually after one of those fights Gambit went for the baron, took it and started the final push, killing three members of Frost and starting to shred down Korean base. The series was now tied at 1-1 and the last game had to bring the decision on which team moves on to the finals.

Winner: Gambit Gaming


Game 3:

Picks:



Game 3 started with another invade by Gambit, this time at the red buff of Frost. This lead to a level 1 tower dive by Edward picking up the first blood onto MadLife. In return though Frost was able to kill the AD carry and the jungler of Gambit.

This putting Frost into a position to bully Gambit, they contested for a really early dragon, picking this up and trading one for one shortly after. The action went on in the bottom lane as Edward died to turret hits giving a kill to Woong and a immediate teleport coming in by Olaf killing Genja as well.

The trades coming up now were about even, giving a few kills to Gambit as well as a few to Frost. But only for a small amount of time since Frost started to speed up the game picking up numerous kills. Again Shy was split pushing all game long and finally the game ended with a last fight, which destroyed Gambit, secured the victory and avenged the loss at IEM Katowice for Frost.

Winner and moving into the Final: CJE Frost
