The third day of League of Legends The World Cup group stage started again positively for the western fans. Team Solo Mid could against the strong Chinese Team WE to record a relatively clear victory.
Although TSM Jungler Svenskeren Firstblood for Team WE delivered, could TSM secure clear advantages with good team fights and an early Baron and had the match under control for most of the time. This means that Team SoloMid holds first place in Group D and thus good chances of advancing.
The second game of group D: Flash Wolves against Misfits Gaming ended with the victory of Team Misfits. The trundle pick by Misfits Toplaner Alphari was surprisingly strong and was the right means against the opposing Cho'Gath.
G2 esports took this as an example and led against 1907 Fenerbahçe also Trundle into the field and could clearly win the game.
Must be especially depressing for Flash Wolves and 1907 Fenerbahçe the fact that both teams left the field without a single kill. So clear were both defeats.
In Match 4, the 2 favorites of Group C met: Samsung Galaxy and Royal Never Give Up (RNG).
Similar to their SKT T1 counterparts yesterday, Samsung lost the early game and RNG was able to gain a clear lead. To the chagrin of the Korean fans, the similarities ended at this point, because Samsung could not counter the onslaught of RNG and lost the game with 0 kills in 29 minutes. So takes over Royal Never Give Up the top position in group C.
The three-time League of Legends world champion is weakening again
SKT T1 had to play in the next game against team from Taiwan aHq e-Sports Club compete. SKT Faker surprised with one Fizz Pick, who has disappeared a bit from the meta at the moment. The game was even for a long time and Faker and Fizz couldn't find a way into the opponent's back lines either. aHq was even able to secure a baron undisturbed, but unfortunately couldn't finish the game. In the end, the teamfight experience of SKT T1 won again, who now lead their group 3-0. SKT appears strong this year and turns games around even if they are very behind, but the fact that they allow such arrears at all gives hope for all other teams.
In the last game of the day, the Western League of Legends fans were happy again, Cloud 9 hit Edward Gaming and thus ensured that all NA / EU LCS teams had won their games on this 3rd day.
Group A has finished all their games and goes into the 1 week break until it comes to the second half of the season in which every team has to compete against the other 3 again. The rest of the groups have tomorrow 4th matchday still the chance to go into the break with a win in another match.
