Leona (Ellie Bee) got a little too aggressive in an attempt to finish off Aphromoo's Ezreal, but ended up tanking unintentional tower hits without ending Ezreal. Muffinqt on Lulu was able to turn around the fight with enough damage and cc to grant Aphromoo two kills including first blood. Shen (Lautemortis) was able to Flash and taunt in on Balls's Yorick after Voyboy (Jayce) forced Yorick's Flashed. Voyboy was able to pick up the kill, but paid for it with his life when Mandatorycloud arrived and took the kill as Katarina. After some failed aggression by MME mid, Bigfatlp picked up two kills and CLG were able to take the first dragon. Ezreal picked up an early Brutalizer to snowball his lane and promptly took a 50 cs lead on Chauster's Corki, being the largest contributor to MME's 2k gold lead at 15 minutes. CLG were able to take a second uncontested dragon as the game became more passive, but MME's farm and turret advantage kept themm up in gold. The game finally broke open for MME when CLG wasted Leona's ult in an attempt to keep Ezreal locked down after catching a dark binding. With Corki top, Malphite (Xmithie) was able to counter initiate with his ult for a tower and a four for one fight. CLG counter pushed mid with middling success and MME baited Baron shortly after. CLG were doing deceptively well as they shoved MME off of Baron, but then Xmmithie showed up and forced the fight heavily in Ferus's favor. MME baited another Baron as soon as they could regroup and CLG could not even get MME weak enough to keep them off of Baron after losing another abyssmal fight. With a 10k gold lead and Baron buff, MME were able to take absolute control of the map and easily took two inhibitors at 31 minutes. MME casually won the next fights, rotated top, and ended the game at 34 minutes.
