EG vs IG: Match Highlights and Recap
Game 1 saw IG rely on the Alchemist off lane Aghanim’s Scepter machine strategy. However, the strategy seemingly failed as their Void Spirit was not able to capitalize on the granted Aghanim’s Scepter, dying multiple times. On the other hand, Arteezy was free farming on Terrorblade as EG secured an easy victory in 30 minutes.
Game 2 was another stomp as EG seemed to have outdrafted and outplayed their opponents. All of their cores were comparatively stronger as they helped the team win the second game in just 31 minutes.
PSG.LGD vs Team Secret: Match Highlights and Recap
Game 1 saw a clinical performance from PSG.LGD’s cores as they had a combined KDA of 18-1-35 at the end of the 41-minute game. Secret was able to prolong the game but their enemies were too mighty to take down.
Game 2 witnessed Secret drafting an off lane Venomancer to counter Ame’s comfortable safe lane Monkey King pick. MATUMBAMAN played the Alchemist carry and got online much faster as compared to Ame, helping his team register a comprehensive win in just 23 minutes.
Game 3 was an outdraft by PSG.LGD as they had the right counters to their enemies. Secret had an unconventional and out of meta draft with an off lane Windranger and a support Bane which backfired heavily. PSG.LGD played cautiously and then eventually ended the game in 35 minutes.
EG emerged incredibly stronger in the matchup against IG and registered their second consecutive 2-0 series win in the Singapore Major. On the other hand, PSG.LGD’s victory over Secret is an upset since the European squad is widely considered as the favorite to win the Major.
