Game Notes
- WeiXiao again displayed his excellent mechanical skill, performing the extremely difficult feat of out-CSing Froggen for the entire game and hitting 500 CS. His item build was interesting as well, rushing Ninja Tabi and later building Triforce, Aegis, and a QSS to ensure that he'd have the mid-game bulk to survive Wickd's Qs, Froggen's ult, and Snoopeh's ult.
- CloudLove completely threw the game twice, getting caught once and giving CLG a free Baron, and getting caught again a minute later, giving CLG a free push into WE's base.
- CLG.eu demonstrated why they're famous for their late-game, their ability to stall, and their amazing tenacity. In a style reminiscent of CLG's win over M5 from a 27k gold deficit, CLG turtled from a 1-9 disadvantage to a stunning victory.
