The first game is going to take place on Nagrand. WLD vs RLS.

After an initial damage swap in the middle of the arena, Fnatic force Reckful pretty low, and he seems to be the target of Fnatic for this game. Sodah uses his Innervate very early and gets a full duration buff. Col switch onto Douja and force him below half health, but he is able to survive with relative ease. Reckful gets an incredibly clutch sap on Douja with Shadow Dance, In the duration of the sap, Woundman is killed.

Interesting fact: Reckful is using the resist trinket + a ridiculous amount of resil. Is he a viable target? Doubtful.

1-0 coL

The second game of the series will take place on Nagrand too.

Woundman has an absolutely terrible start to the game, being CC’d for around 20 seconds while Col force Douja’s cooldowns with pressure. The game restarts to a both teams simply damaging each other’s Rogues, Reckful uses dance on Woundman and the pressure is too much for Douja to heal through.

Ultimately the games seem pretty even up until the point Reckful uses his second dance of the game.

2-0 coL

The third game of the series is going to take place on Nagrand; will Col be able to finish up? Probably!

Fnatic have an absolute horrible start to the game with Douja eating a sap, Yog’s pet almost dies but Douja comes out of Sap and manages to keep it alive. Both teams start damaging each other in the arena, Sodah runs into a horrible position and Fnatic switch onto him, killing him in the Death Coil.

Sodah is too blame for this game.

2-1 coL

The fourth game is taking place on Nagrand.

Almost the exact same opener of the last game taking place. Fnatic try to chase down Sodah for a switch, but Reckful does an excellent job keeping Woundman under control which ultimately makes the switch a failure. Reckful uses his second dance on Woundman, but no CC on Douja allows the Shaman to heal him up to full with ease. Fnatic continue to chase after Sodah, realising this is their best target / chance of a kill. Both teams ‘restart’ into the middle of the arena, trading damage and CC with no real progress until Col switch onto a poorly positioned Douja, he stays alive for 4-6 seconds until Sodah does a War Stomp to stun him and kill him.

An interesting series, Col looked by far the better team of the two.

3-1 Col.

Round 1 on Nagrand arena. Reckful of Col.Red is playing subtlety. Early on the primary focus is Reckful and hovers very low before getting topped off. Bloodlust gets popped by Fnatic and they make use of it by trying to get on Sodah before bouncing back to Reckful. Col.Red chooses to make Kollektiv the target but it nearly kills Col.Red as Reckful gets very low because of it. Col.Red goes back on Woundman and a shadow dance sap onto Douja is what ultimately got Woundman killed. 1-0 in favor of Col.Red

Round 2 on Nagrand arena. Woundman creates an opener on Sodah with a blind handed to Woundman, which he does not trinket. Col.Red focuses Kollektiv and the use of deathcoil was used with Kollektiv surviving the onslaught. Col.Red makes a swap to Woundman. Fnatic goes for Reckful but as soon as shadowdance is used, Woundman drops almost instantly.

Round 3 on nagrand arena. Douja gets sapped early on with Yog being the focus. Col.Red switches to Woundman. Snutz gets hexed and Sodah becomes the hardswap target and he dies within seconds. 2-1 in favor of Col.Red.

Round 4 on nagrand arena for the fourth time. I thought there was a 2 map limit but in any case Douja gets sapped and Yog gets opened on. Blind is handed to Sodah who does not trinket it. Reckful again shadow dances and goes on Woundman, getting him dangerously low. Once again Sodah becomes the target by Fnatic but are forced to go back to Reckful. Col.Red continues the pressure on Woundman. Fnatic eagerly attempts to get back on Sodah but has trouble doing it. Woundman still being ridden very hard with Douja doing a fantastic job of keeping him up through this very lengthy game. Col.Red decides to go on Douja with deathcoil used on him and eventually dying. Series goes 3-1 for Col.Red.
