MAD Lions go 1-0 in Group B.
The more the game wore on, the more Isurus grew into the game.
They were able to fight back against MAD’s early-game aggression whilst keeping their farm up.
But with the mid-game approaching, MAD was able to still hit their power spikes in time.
The game was on a tether at this point with both teams very much on level terms.
Sadly, some bad positioning from Grell saw him get caught out by all five of MAD.
While he did manage to buy his team time and space, MAD decided to rotate to Baron instead.
From there, they managed to get the upper hand in the drake pit, forcing Isurus' hand.
MAD finally had the advantage in the series and they instantly started applying pressure on Isurus' base.
They soon took the third Baron with Isurus jumping in too late to contest and getting the team wiped.
MAD soon charged straight into the base once more to finally end the game.
While the hometown heroes lost, they shouldn’t feel disheartened as they brought the fight to MAD.
The game was theirs for the taking but it wasn’t meant to be.
