LEC: XL, AST & VIT are still in the playoffs race!

by scarzzl

With playoffs on the line, the three remaining teams are fighting for the last spot. Excel Esports, Astralis and Vitality are still in contention after a series of events that took place! VIT defeated RGE to have a 7-10 score moving into the last day of play! Meanwhile, AST and XL fought till the very end, but it was XL that came out on top! All three teams now have a scoreline of 7-10! VIT will face off against AST tomorrow, but only one shall rise!

At 8 minutes, all seems to be going in favor of XL as they had the gold lead, despite letting AST take the Rift Herald. A minute later, they also acquired the first dragon. An impressive hook by AST promisq secured first blood for AST! At 12 minutes, XL got a return kill after an over extension from the AST jungler! XL then dived top lane to secure yet another kill as well as the second Rift Herald later on. A small skirmish broke out in the bot jungle as AST came out on top.

At 23 minutes, XL's top and jungler caught out the enemy top laner in the bot lane but it was a bait as AST started the Baron across the map! The rest of XL engaged in a 3v4 and won against all expectation, they even got the Baron as the cherry on top! By the 25-minute mark, XL were already pushing onto AST's base. XL Kryze was ambushed by several members of AST but was able to buy enough time for his team to assist him! They turned the fight around, only losing XL Kryze and securing 3 kills.

As the Baron buff wears off, it was difficult for XL to continue the siege as they had to fall back. Disaster follows as AST Zanzarah stole the Baron away from XL, the dragon was secured by AST too! It was at 36 minutes when XL got back on track after winning a teamfight, resulting in the end of the game!
