European Masters Summer 2021: Digest of the third game day

Misfits Premier vs Anorthosis Esports

The French did not wait long to start developing their advantage and made a FB on Ezreal before the start of the second minute. Next, the gank squad consisting of Leona and Li Sin continued to increase the advantage for MSFP: 2 dives = 2 kills. The Greeks, in turn, did not succeed. For every action of Anorthosis Esports, the French responded with a counterattack. The Misfits Premier took every neutral object and got stronger by the minute, so even J0J0C's Cassiopeia didn't help save the game.

An easy win for the French in 24 minutes.

UCAM Esports Club vs AGO Rogue

The Polish team decided to take a setup with a lot of control and damage in the late game, and UCAM responded to this with Aphelios. Hadess actively helped his team throughout the early stages of the game and it paid off: after 3 successful ganks, the gold advantage surpassed the 1500 mark in 12 minutes.

The game developed rather slowly and the Spaniards actively took advantage of this lull to gain more critical mass. This plan worked and after a key fight on the 20th minute, UCAM Esports Club took Baron Nashor and finished the game.

Movistar Riders vs Tricked Esports

The early game of both teams was focused on gaining an advantage in the bot. After a not very successful dive from Movistar Riders, Tricked Esports broke out by 1000 in gold already on the 5th minute.

The key fight of the whole game takes place already at the 8th minute: both teams clashed for the first Herald of the Abyss in full strengths. Tricked decided to attack Ryze, but thanks to the Phase Dash, he easily escapes from the dive and, together with his teammates, arranges a successful counterattack. Movistar Riders kill 4 enemy champions while remaining alive and take the Herald.

After this fight, the Spaniards began to strengthen their advantage and became stronger every minute. Tricked Esports couldn't do anything against them.

PDW vs PENTA 1860

Both teams decided to hit the farm and therefore the first blood was shed only at 22 minutes: Camilla found an opportunity to initiate a fight with Gangplank, and the rest of the team supported Color.

PDW were much stronger in late picks and took advantage of this: they farm and only occasionally took advantage of the Germans' mistakes, and when they reached critical mass, they gathered together five of them and won the key 4v1 mid fight, they easily finished the game in their favor for 30 minutes.

Macko Esports vs Karmine Corp

This time, the Italians decided not to experiment with a pick in mid, but at the same time they took Maokai as a support.

The attack vector of Karmine Corp in this game was directed at Jace: in 6 minutes they gagged him 3 times and all were successful. Macko Esports responded with a dive into the bot at 8 minutes, during which Kalista earned a doublekill. KC managed to gain a slight advantage, but lost it after a mistake on the 14th minute.

The game was very active and was accompanied by a lot of exchanges and actions on the map from both sides. Macko Esports won an important fight on the 22nd minute and took Baron Nashor, but they could not fully realize it, and after 10 minutes, Karmine Corp took Baron and strengthened their advantage.

The situation becomes very tense in the 37th minute, when both teams approached the Elder Dragon. The Karmine Corp was adept at stalling for time and fighting off attacks from Macko Esports, allowing SAKEN to end the game by backdoing the enemy base.

mousesports vs Vodafone Giants

Both teams this time decided to give more freedom to their ADC players and so today we have Kog'Mao and Sivir in Summoner's Rift.

Both teams started to play actively around the top: MOUZ tried to keep Th3Antonio out of life, who is very good at Kennen, and Vodafone Giants decided not to give Sindra an early lane lead. The MOUZ win this battle by killing Kennen twice while Czekolad is left untouched. Th3Antonio had a very hard time, as he was 3 levels behind and lost in farm. It seemed that in a few minutes the game might just end, but the Spaniards find a profitable fight in the 14th minute, where their topper gets a lot of experience and gold.

mousesports start to fight in disadvantageous positions, dive too far and just give up the winning game. Despite Czekolad's efforts on the 24th minute, MOUZ could not profitably trade in that fight and were limited to only the dragon.

The German team managed to take Baron Nashor, one gorgeous macro game from Vodafone Giants while defending their own base did not allow them to win the game.

Th3Antonio played a decisive role in the last fight and despite the large gap with his opponent in terms of role, he was able to help the team win the game.

Position of teams

Karmine Corp has almost guaranteed itself a place in the playoffs, and the rest of the teams cannot yet boast of such an achievement. We will follow the development of events.
