  • Early game starts out without anything interesting happening. That is until River invades Inspired jungle and steals Red Buff. In response, Inspired takes both Scuttle Crabs.
  • Bwipo and Sniper skirmish in top, Bwipo almost kills Sniper but he manages to survive thanks to Transformation. Sniper then backs. Unfortunately for Sniper, after he returns to lane he gets dove under turret by Busio, Massu, and Bwipo and killed by Massu for first blood.

Mid Game Highlights: FLY Getting Exactly What They Want

  • FLY takes the first set of Voidgrubs. Sniper switches to bot lane, as does Quad. Massu and Busio go mid before heading up to top. Bwipo chases Sniper down lane. Eyla, who has been roaming, comes in to help Sniper but Massu and Busio are also on their way. Bwipo retreats without getting a kill.
  • Seeing the Inspired is top side, River takes the first Drake (Cloud). Inspired starts the second set of Voidgrubs. Inspired, seeing Eyla, throws out his ult, forcing Eyla to Flash. Inspired finishes Voidgrubs. Eyla roams up to top. He and Sniper chase Bwipo and force his Flash.
  • More farming. Bwipo takes outer top turret for First Turret of the game. Eyla, Busio, and Quid (thanks to Realm Warp) try to gank Busio and Massu in mid lane but they don’t have enough damage to get a kill.
  • MG ends due to time. FLY has retained their leads in gold (2.6k) and farm.

Late Game Highlights: Unleash the LTA Raid Boss

  • Both teams start set up for the next Drake. Quad get caught out in bot river by Eyla and Quid. Almost dies but gets away.
  • River starts up the second Drake (Infernal). Both teams dance around until Quid gets to close and Inspired Ults him. FLY go attack and Bwipo, who has been split-pushing, TPs in. He stuns and kills Quid, then kills Eyla. He and Inspired chase down River with Inspired getting the kill. All 5 FLY players then corner FBI and Bwipo gets the kill. Inspired and Bwipo then go and take the Drake. 4-0 for FLY.
  • Both (except Sniper and Quad who are bot) teams fighting for Herald. Inspired wins the Smite fight. Bwipo goes low but Eyla uses his Ult to freeze him, Inspired, and Busio. Massu meanwhile takes out Quid solo. When Tempered Fate ends, Bwipo heals and takes out River before retreating. Inspired tries to kill Eyla but he gets away. 2-0 for FLY
  • Inspired uses Herald to take inner mid turret, first inner turret of the game. He also uses it do deal a large amount of damage to the mid base turret. Quad gets caught out in red side bot jungle, manages to get away by Flashing into Dragon Pit. 3 other FLY members show up to help him out and manage to chase 100T away.

Post Game Analysis: Stick to Your Draft

FLY ends the game at 28:00 with 15.4k gold lead. The final score is 17-2 for FLY. After this game, FLY is 1-0 and 100T 0-1. Unlike last game, FLY completely walked all over 100T this time around. Bwipo, in particular, was highly impactful.

The main issue for 100T, however, is that they drafted a split-pushing, roaming team but even up giving FLY the fights that they wanted. They should have committed to their initial game plan. If you are going to pick split-pushers and roamers, you need to avoid fighting as much as possible and focus taking objectives. 100T didn’t even take a single turret the entire game.
