NRG vs. Team Liquid – Game Recap

There is no doubt that NRG could come from behind to take the victory in this series. First, it’s worth mentioning that champions Neeko and Kai’Sa took it upon themselves to dominate the Summoner’s Rift in this series.

NRG started this BO5 very well by winning the first match in 30:42 minutes, which gave us a taste of what would happen in the rest of the series. However, Team Liquid woke up thanks to young Eain “APA” Stearns, who managed to lead his team to victory in 34:46 min. to even the series 1-1.

In the third match, things changed radically, as NRG deployed a spectacular offensive to go ahead in the series 2-1 thanks to the victory in 23:20 min. However, this only made the beast in Team Liquid wake up, and, despite a solid composition by NRG, they were crushed by Liquid in 18:57 min. This match became the second fastest in LCS history.

In the end, NRG proved that their level of play and synergy within Summoner’s Rift is beyond anything, as, thanks to an aggressive game full of dives and ganks, they managed to lead the team to victory.
