Game 2
In the second game OG established an early lead with the Miracle- on Alchemist and were quick to put on the pressure. When they took team fights, it was really amazing coordination. Winter Wyvern and Dazzle played a huge part in the saves and clutch plays. The support duo for OG has been displaying amazing synergy and cohesion. Andreas “Cr1t-” Franck Nielsen on WW was the best he’s played so far. After 65 minutes they were able to take the victory, as Team Secret lacking the fire power to repel OG.
Game 3
The third game Team Secret drafted Wraith King for Jacky “Eternal Envy” Mao. W33 was given a Lina on midlane and dominated the match. OG started to become more hesitant in team fights and Team Secret are very comfortable waiting for the late game, something that would be needed for EE to come online, so the stage had been set for Team Secret to be able to gain control. A few mistakes and misplays coming out of OG gave Team Secret openings that they needed to further their leads and gains. Team Secret was able to convincingly take the third game and push the series into a fourth.
