Fnatic outclass MYM and take a 2-0 victory

Game 1

Bans

Fnatic: Sona, Zilean, Yorick MYM: Jayce, Shen, Rengar

Picks

Fnatic: Ezreal (AD), Zyra (sup), Lee Sin (jun), Malphite (top), Diana (mid). MYM: Udyr (jun), Nunu (sup), Vayne (AD), Lux (mid), Vladimir (top).

A 1v1 in the jungle led to MYM picking up first blood via Mokatte who then headed botlane and picked up another fast kill. s0AZ was unfortunately having quite severe lag issues which contributed to him being killed under tower by Vlad. Once he  gets ahead it’s hard to stop Vlad and he pulled out quite a large CS lead. Over in botlane Vayne was having a terrible time, being behind on CS as well as having four deaths at the 15 minute mark. MYM had a small lead for quite some time but after a really nice fight near the Dragon Pit, Fnatic evened up the gold and took the kill lead. After that shift of momentum, Fnatic seized full control of the game and quickly took the first Inhib and a Nexus tower. However, a nice call from MYM allowed them to take Baron and this stalled Fnatic’s cruise to victory. Fnatic did manage to take the next Baron and win a teamfight in the process, taking game one shortly after.

Game 2

Bans

MYM: Jayce, Malphite, Zyra. Fnatic: Sona, Zilean, Rengar.

Picks

MYM: Shen (top), Corki (AD), Taric (sup), Anivia (mid), Maokai (jun). Fnatic: Ezreal (AD), Nunu (sup), Skarner (jun), Orianna (mid), Kennen (top).

MYM started highly aggressive as Maokai camped botlane at level one, taking Twisted Advance and securing first blood for Corki. This set him behind a little in his jungle as Skaner took his blue and an Exp lead. At 20 minutes the teams were even on kills- however superior farm and Dragon control meant Fnatic had a large 6k gold lead. Fnatic spent the game edging more and more ahead and ended up taking a fast win at 27 minutes. MYM never really seemed to be able to get into this game; despite them managing to keep up in kills for quite some time, Fnatic always looked in control.

MVP: xPeke takes this one. With fantastic play over both games, he was a key contributor to Fnatic’s victories. With fantastic roaming on Diana and sick farm on Orianna (293 at 26 minutes) as well as a 6/0/6 score, he really stole the show.

Fnatic are looking really strong and while MYM made a valiant effort to keep up with them, they were outclassed today. They still managed some exciting plays (the first Baron in game one and the level one lane gank in game two) but today was Fnatics day and they progress onto the next round!
