Game 1

Game 1 started with a strong showing from Choke Gaming, securing an early lead with some fast early kills, though the lost the first dragon they returned by picking up 4 kills, a tower and the second dragon as they took hold of the game. Infused swung the game back into their favour after a successive double and triple kill onto Toast's Corki allowing them to start picking up turrets of their own. They kept control of the area around the Baron pit and it paid off after securing the Baron was the last objective they needed to be able to take the win and close out the game, bringing the series 1-1

Game 2

Over into game 2 and Maxlore tried to create pressure around the map in the early game, but when he failed to secure an early lead through ganks decided to secure a sneaky early dragon instead. Infused retaliated with a dive top to try and get numlocked's Kassadin rolling. The game stayed relatively even with both teams taking even towers and close kills until Infused turned a Choke initiated fight on its head picking up 3 kills for one and an important baron buff and the 4th dragon to Choke Gamings 2. Choke did well to hang on to the game, but when jungler Instinctiv sacrificed himself to prevent Infused getting the 5th dragon Team Infused just turned and wiped out Choke gaming to bring the series 2 – 1 in their favour.

Game 3

Choke managed to bounce back in the early game of the 3rd match, controlling the pace of the game until a poor fight at the Dragon pit where they underestimated the strengh of DxAlchemists unconventional mid lane Swain pick allowed a weak mid game Infused to clean up in kills and secure the objective in addition to an additional turret uncontested. Choke Gaming bring it back and take the Baron buff, which they use to siege out the first inhibitor of the game. Infused engage out of desperation but Choke immediately turn the fight and continue to push their advantages across the map. Once again Infused make a desperation play as they try to take down the Baron, but Choke are able to respond before they finish, wipe out Infused and close out the game, which means the series is 2 – 2 with everything to play of in the final game

Game 4

 

With so much on the line coming into the final game, both teams are cautions for the early stages. Both junglers turn their attention onto the Bottom lane, Infused come out ahead after a timely roam from a post level 6 Allows them to clean up 3 for 0 evening up the game. Nuuriki continues his roaming Ahri plays into the bot lane but it turns sour as they dive too deep under the tower and hand a pair of kills over to Choke Gaming. The pace slows back down in the midgame as the gold evens out between both teams, while Choke have an additional turret and Infused the only Dragon of the game so far. As the dragon respawns both teams make a beeline for the Pit, and Team Infused win the inevitable fight with a 3 for 0 allowing them to claim their prize of the Dragon and a 3k gold lead. Infused take a second dragon but are unable to retreat fast enough meaning Choke can force them away to take an uncontested Baron. Choke use this momentum to start sieging inhibitor turrets, and after poking Infused low enough are able to push into the base of Infused. They are pushed away but manage to return shortly after to take the win and be crowned the winner of the epic.14 League of Legends Tournament!
