  2. Reverse sweep; is the dream still alive?published at 19:00

    After two swift, crushing defeats AHQ have to pull something incredible out of the bag. Some might say, why not play a champion they're comfortable with? But Westdoor did just that in the last game with Twisted Fate and it made almost no difference to the end result. If AHQ have been holding anything back, now is the time to use it.

    2-0

    SKT take game 2 and have hardly broken a sweat. AHQ have to win 3 games in a row to defeat SKT.

  4. Silver Scrapes: what's the story?published at 18:56

    So we know that Silver Scrapes is played between games four and five, but why is it such a beloved part of League of Legends history?

    Naturally, some of you were a fountain of knowledge on the subject...

    And again AN has been caught

    James 'Stress' O'Leary

  8. Enemy territory, ANpublished at 18:51

    SKT find AN out of position bot lane, signalling that AHQ's jungle is no longer AHQ's jungle.

  9. SKT secure Baron Nashorpublished at 18:51

    After taking out AHQ, SKT move on to Baron taking it down and killing any AHQ member that tried to contest.

  10. Rift-wide pressurepublished at 18:51

    AHQ attempt to engage onto Bang, but Wolf swallows him up with Tahm Kench and his team follow up with their teleports, tipping the scales into SKT's favour picking up multiple kills.

  13. Dropping like fliespublished at 18:47

    The start of the game began similarly to the previous one with AHQ taking a few early kills, but SKT haved out-played AHQ across the map, increasing their gold lead.

    More coins = more items from the shop. Find out more about gold with our glossary of terms.

  14. Tahm Kenchpublished at 18:45

    Unclog the frog

    Richard 'Pulse' Kam
    eSports Caster

    No one really knows what species Tahm Kench is; part frog with his extending tongue, part catfish body, and part gentleman sporting a rather dapper top hat. What we know for sure is that he is a top tier pick here at Worlds, able to gobble up an enemy for his team to eat for dinner. He then regurgitates them (gross) and can also protect his allies inside his vast stomach, carrying them to safety.

    Unbottle the axolotl!

    Pass on the marmite crisps though!

  16. Saving Private Mountainpublished at 18:38

    Westdoor teleports down to bot lane, while Mountain is under attack from Bang and Wolf, but Mountain is already too injured to fight and both end up succumbing to Bang and Wolf's attacks.

  18. AHQ respond with 2 fast killspublished at 18:36

    Great bait bot lane, taking down MaRin and Bang. Mountain takes both kills with Elise.

  19. The vultures are circlingpublished at 18:36

    Luckily I have a rocket launcher

    AHQ surround MaRin and wait for the minions to arrive to dive him but MaRin buys time by moving below the turret into the lane while Faker charges up his Teleport to assist him, locking down Ziv under the turret to secure First Blood.
