Pre match review:
Ks surprised Fnatic by picking axe. Jugg was another hero that was probably Fnatic wanted to try out. Ks just lost to a local team in Singapore at a Lan Finals while Fnatic was in losing streak. Will Ks bounce back from their lost or Fnatic a way to recover from their losing streak? We will see about it.

Fnatic did a 4man mid lane backstab when the creep spawn. But it did not manage to kill anyone as Potm was soloing middle lane when the creep spawn and Potm learnt leap which saved him.

If cm showed up by using Frost Nova. I was expecting a Frost Bite instead which could increase the chances of killing potm.

Better luck next time round.

First blood was taken by Ks at top lane when Axe and Warlock decided to charge through the tower for the half life Crystal maiden. As both Sentinels heroes has Boots and CM doesnt have, Axe could easily catch up with cm. With scourge creep all around axe, CM couldnt run away in time and got killed by the Axe. As top lane could not hold Axe, Axe was farming freely with the support of warlock heal.









Zeus tp to top lane and managed to take down Axe and Warlock.
In simple, Axe + warlock killed CM, Zeus tped to top took down Axe and warlock.






At the same time, Tinker who was soloing vs Potm managed to gain the upper hand although both are farming well. Tinker managed to take down potm when sandking came to middle lane and thought Tinker will be more caution. Tinker chose to missile first instead of the normal laser that took down potm by surprise.

Tinker went on to attack Sandking as Sandking was only lvl 4 and half life while Tinker is lvl 7. Faerie Dragon who came to middle lane when potm died saved Teammate Sandking who escape with red life. Fnatic backup came tried to take down FD but to no avail. Sandking died to Wrath of God Zeus 10second later. lol.














Arrow of the Match Award.

Currently Sentinels are alittle richer as mostly of the heroes has boots and some form of life item ( bracer, null) and Axe who had a vanguard up was farming at scourge Neutral was hunting.

Scourge heroes like CM and Es who are flying around ( tp) and couldnt save and kill opponent were very poor as they have only branches and no boots.

The next 5min saw Scourge tower went down one by one when Sentinel pushed. FD who was on the constant move helped Sentinel to take down alot of Scourge hero. At 20min marks, you can see Sentinels moving in group taking down Scourge mercilessly.

First 5v5 battle happened at top lane just outside Scourge base. From the map, Axe was right in the middle on all 5 Scourge hero and FD used his utimate affecting all 5 Scourge heroes, Warlock is just behind about to Drop his rock on all the 5 heroes. Jugg utimated on axe which only managed to take down 1/3 of his life despite all the hits was on Axe.




Heroes like Cm went down instantly as they on had items like boots and branches. Sentinels heroes charged like they were in the movie 300 taking down heroes one by one. There was no return for Scourge.



Axe had hood, blade mail, vanguard and heart up by 30min and Scourge couldnt find a way to kill axe or turn the tide.
GG was exchanged at 32min mark











After Game Review.
Ks surprised Fnatic by picking Axe which turned out extremely useful as none of the Fnatic heroes managed to farmed up and hold against Axe. Ks heroes had a form of escape which helped them a few times to survive like FD beam Sandking sandstorm ( after ES used his stun) and potm leap which helped him escaped being first blooded.
