Game Notes
- Despite a substantial lead from WE early on, Froggen's perfectly timed ultimates along with yellowpete's excellent early game play prevented them from falling too far behind.

- CLG.eu's superior poke comp and double ranged AD, both equipped with Guardian Angels, helped them completely crush WE during the last three teamfights.
