European Masters Summer 2021: Digest of the second game day

PENTA 1860 vs Movistar Riders

The Spaniards, thanks to the active action in the upper part of the river at the beginning of the game, were able to seize the initiative and get a slight advantage. PENTA 1860 did not want to just give the victory to the enemy, and therefore at the 8th minute they made a successful attempt to return the equality in gold, but after a couple of minutes they themselves make mistakes and again find themselves behind.

A similar game with mutual errors lasted until 24 minutes, when the Spanish squad managed to take Biron Nashor and in a few minutes ended the game in their favor.

Tricked Esports vs PDW

From the very beginning of the game, Tricked Esports tried to play aggressively: the botlane managed to earn FB and even moved to the mid lane for gank, but, unfortunately, the Poles quickly understood how to play against such aggression and skillfully counteracted any attempt to gank, and by 11 minute and did attack themselves, taking 3 champions of the enemy.

After this fight, Tricked Esports lost its game and stopped picking up towers, kills and neutral objects. Easy win for PDW.

Zero Tenacity vs BIG

After the defeat in the first round of the group stage, it was important for both teams to score the first points in this match.

The score on the map was opened at the 4th minute: a fight took place between the teams for the River Crab, which Zero Tenacity won in all respects: they were able to take both the Crab and two enemy champions, losing only one. The Balkans continued to dominate and were able to win the fight on the second dragon without any problems, but the gold situation remained flat, thanks to the fact that BIG was farming more and better in each position.

On the 13th minute, BIG fully return to the game, killing two enemy champions in his own forest, and a couple of minutes later they are fixed on the map after diving under the tier-2 tower.

The key fight was at the 18th minute, when, despite all efforts, Zero Tenacity could not take anyone from the BIG roster. Further, the team from Germany only increased its advantage and was able to win in 28 minutes.

Fnatic Rising vs Illuminar Gaming

The game started relatively calmly. Both teams decided to focus on the center line, which is why Syndra and Seraphina suffered the most. None of the teams managed to seize the advantage in the initial period of time, but on the 15th minute LeQu flies into two opponents champions, helping to take them and Xin Zhao, who came to the rescue.

Due to the mistakes of the FNCR, Ezreal quickly began to gain critical mass and soon became a big problem for the Northern European squad.

Despite all of the above problems, Fnatic Rising still had a pretty good chance of winning with 3 dragons. That is why on the 25th minute they were the first to hit Baron Nashor. Chris steals the Baron right from under the nose of the FNCR and also helps his team to kill 4 opponents champions. It was a decisive fight that determined the outcome of the game.

Illuminar Gaming win in 35 minutes.

mousesports vs Macko Esports

Macko again surprises with unusual mid picks and this time they take Ezreal.

The Italian team started the game briskly, taking the advantage of 1.8 thousand in gold by the 8th minute, but everything changed after the dive from mousesports at the 12th minute. Macko also did not sit aside and quickly made two counter kills.

The swing lasted until the 18th minute, when MOUZ managed to take the dragon, and with it the 2 champions of Macko Esports. With each fight it became more and more difficult for the Italians to resist mousesports, and after another failed fight on the 28th minute, MOUZ took Baron Nashor.

Macko tried to respond and get back into the game, and even took the soul of the sea dragon, but the out-farm was too much. mousesports win in 51 minutes.

Karmine Corp vs Vodafone Giants

In the last game, the giants of the European shooting gallery-2 scene clashed. Cinkrof made a mistake when invading the enemy's forest and gave first blood, but after a couple of minutes Cabochard shows phenomenal ganking in mid and compares the score, making a kill on Sindra. The benefit of the Karmine Corp topper continues at 8 minutes, when he helps on the bot, using the teleport.

Compared to yesterday's game, the Spaniards did not allow the French to gain an advantage out of thin air and kept exactly the farm. Moreover, they began to lead the game, giving kills in fights on neutral objects, but for 19 minutes KC turned the game in their favor.

The key fight took place on the 28th minute: after it, taking 3 opponents' champions, Karmine Corp took Baron Nashor and after the next fight ended the game in their favor.
