Ashley Crocker ’16 / Emertainment Monthly Staff
The League of Legends Quarter Finals are here! Ten teams have been eliminated and four advance: China’s Royal Club, European Fnatic, and South Korea’s Najin Black Sword and SK Telecom T1.
On Tuesday, the stage welcomed the Taiwanese Gamanian Bears and South Korean SK Telecom T1. Continuing their strength from the group stage, SKT1 defeated the Gama Bears handily in two games. The Gama Bears just could not stand up to the outrageous duo of SKT1’s AD Carry, Piglet, and Support, PoohManDu. Along with Mid Laner, Faker, who, in the second game secured 10 kills on Lissandra, SKT1 marched their way to the Quarter Finals.
The last semifinal game was between Chinese teams OMG and Royal Club. The first match was a close one and despite OMG’s Mid Laner, Cool, going 8/1/2, Royal Club secured the victory proving that, in League of Legends, objectives are more important than kills. The end kill total was 15-13, with Royals just barely coming out on top. In the second game, Royal Club extended their lead. This game resulted in a 20-9 victory for Royal Club. Their AD Carry, Uzi, had a 9/2/4 record and Royal quickly closed out the game to advance to the Quarter Finals.
On Friday, September 28, 2013, EST SKT1 faced off against Najin Black Sword and on Saturday, September 29, 2013 at 3 PM the Royal Club will face off against Fnatic. Watch these exciting matches here at LolEsports.
