Losers Round 1: RFLX Gaming vs. Team Dignitas
Perseverance assisted Dignitas in pulling a victory out of this match. There were many moments when it seemed as if defeat was imminent for them, but they ultimately kept their heads together, regrouped and pushed to win. Both games started in a very similar fashion with extended laning phases where the majority of the players would farm conservatively with a couple of gank attempts.
The second game was extended with a lot of back and forth to maintain a favorable position again the opposing team. Eventually Dignitas won the battle for control and was able to overcome RFLX and move on to compete for 1st place against EPIK for the second time this weekend.
Player of the Match: Dignitas qtpie was the key to Dignitas claiming victory over RFLX this match. He focused heavily on farming early on, and it was very apparent as mid-game rolled around that it had paid off. In both games he was able to play a solid AD carry that would constantly rip apart RFLX.
