For a breakdown of the winners and losers, check out the recap below.<\/b><\/p>\n

Cloud9 v. Evil Geniuses<\/b> <\/h2>\n

Game 1<\/b> <\/p>\n

It was a game we would expect from Cloud9, but Evil Geniuses were certainly trying to give them a run for their money. C9 got first blood at 6:30, while Robert “Blaber” Huang got a kill onto Daniele “Jiizuke” di Mauro in the midlane with Dennis “Svenskeren” Johnsen close by. At 10:30, C9 got Rift Herald; Eric “Licorice” Ritchie got a triple kill, but Evil Geniuses got two kills on Jesper “Zven” Svenningsen and Phillippe “Vulcan” Laflamme. <\/p>\n

In midgame, Blaber’s Nocturne tried a dive botlane, Zven helped but Tristan “Zeyzal” Stidam used his stopwatch under tower and Blaber died to tower shots, but because Zeyzal had attacked him, the kill went to him.<\/p>\n

Bae “Bang” Jun-sik had been killed after they killed Vulcan. This failed tower dive could have given EG time to regroup. At 24 minutes, with another whiffed Ornn ult by Colin “Kumo” Zhao, C9 get four more kills and the Baron. <\/p>\n

As C9 fought into the base of EG, it looked like they would end it there, but Bang got a major shut down on Licorice who, at that point, had not died yet and Bang gets a considerable bounty. <\/p>\n

After getting dragon soul and a second Baron, C9 takes Game 1 in 35 minutes. <\/p>\n

Game 2<\/b> <\/p>\n

In Game 2, C9 got first blood by minute four, with Yasin “Nisqy” Dinçer on to Svenskeren, and then Licorice killed Kumo while Svenskeren came in for a gank a minute later. <\/p>\n

Cloud9 continued their dominance and punished EG mistakes, and it was clear they were truly synched up as Jiizuke tried to Licorice on low health. Licorice got to single digit health but was able to get away as Blaber ran up and killed Jiizuke.  <\/p>\n

In a fight in the botlane at 9:44, Nisqy got a sleepy trouble bubble on Bang but before he could follow up with a paddlestar, Zeyzal ran in front to prevent the follow up. Svenskeren then ults in as Blaber does, and though it seemed the fight would end up with no kills on either side, Jiizuke runs down and kills Vulcan. <\/p>\n

At 21 minutes, another show of the teamwork that C9 has showcased all split. Svenskeren, Kumo, Zeyzal and Bang find Licorice in the jungle south of Baron, but the rest of Cloud 9 caught up to capitalize; they got four kills while EG only got two. Cloud9 got Baron at 24 minutes, and at 25 minutes they took Game 2. <\/p>\n
