The fourth day of Play-In Stage:
SuperMassive vs. G2
G2 needed to win this game to have any hopes of finishing first in the group. SuperMassive started off strong, trading objectives and kills with G2 to remain even until SuperMassive attempted to get a Dragon at the 27 minute mark, giving G2 time to sneak a Baron and use the buff to break the deadlock. G2 closed out the game moments later after a second Baron.
Infinity vs. EDG
EDG obliterated Infinity in their last meeting with nearly a 20,000 gold lead, but this game didn’t happen on day one. In the second biggest upset of the tournament, Infinity came from behind to beat EDG and keep their Worlds hopes alive. EDG demolished Infinity early on and never really took their foot off of the accelerator but Infinity held on, taking fight after fight to come back from a massive gold deficit to pull off a coup and take their first win of the tournament.
SuperMassive vs. Ascension
The first time that Ascension and SuperMassive went up against each other, it wasn’t exactly the best match. This one was a bit better, if not still not the cleanest of games from both sides but a win that SuperMassive will surely be happy with. SuperMassive were always trying to be on the offensive and use their tanky front-line to soak up damage for the Varus to deal damage from afar, but Ascension were stubborn and made SuperMassive work for their victory.
Infinity vs. Dire Wolves
Infinity, coming off of their shock victory against EDG earlier in the day, had the chance to create a potential tiebreaker situation if they won the match. In a nail-biting exchange, Infinity completed the turn around, using the Leblanc to assassinate the squishy members on the side of Dire Wolves while Kai’sa shredded through the tanks, and looked like a different team today after both of their deserved victories.
G2 vs. Ascension
Unable to find a single win in the play-in stage thus far, Ascension had the ability to play spoiler in their final game of the tournament. If Ascension beat G2, SuperMassive would be solidified as group B’s first seed. Ascension started their final play-in match strong, finding an early lead onto their mid lane Kassadin. Ascension though struggled to translate their laning leads into objectives, falling more and more behind as the game progressed. Unable to counter G2’s rotations, Ascension found themselves in a 14,000 gold deficit before having their nexus destroyed one last time at Worlds this year.
