This week we continue our "Highlight of the Match" series with a play against one of this week's LCS opponents, TSM.
This week was not a very favorable one for the Team Dignitas League of Legends team. In this series, despite the fact that we lost 2-0 to Team SoloMid, we managed to pull off several victorious teamfights. Now let's take a look at what exactly happened.
<iframe style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://clips.twitch.tv/embed?clip=TenderTangentialAlmondNotATK&autoplay=false" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
The clip starts with WildTurtle throwing his R - Enchanted Crystal Arrow to Chaser's Elise. Right now, Chaser is stunned, which means that Bjergsen's Azir and Biofrost's Karma can proceed to pick up an easy kill onto Elise, along with Ashe. Although it sounded like a good idea, it didn't go as planned, mostly due to Chaser being able to rappel away once the stun duration ended.
At this very moment, Karma is in a really bad spot. With Ssumday's Teleport being channeled to a nearby ward, and Keane's Cassiopeia flash-casting R - Petrifying Gaze onto him, a kill onto Biofrost was really easy to get.
A couple of seconds later the turning point of the teamfight happens. It is now a 4v5 in favor of Team Dignitas. Svenskeren (with his R - Thrill of the Hunt activated) decides to engage onto Xpecial's Thresh. In the meantime, Shen was casting his R - Stand United on him. Xpecial then did not panic flash away, but instead he waited for Rengar to waste everything on him, waited for Shen to come assist his mate as well, flayed Rengar, locked them both in his R - The Box and only then he flashed away to survive.
Immediately after, he landed a relatively easy hook onto Rengar, to make sure his team can finish the kill. After the hook, both Shen and Rengar engaged onto LOD's Ezreal, yet they weren't any close to killing him. Rengar then dies, and Shen flashes into the Dragon Pit, thinking that he might have a chance at escaping. Yet again, this is where Ssumday comes to save the fight, and make it a more favorable fight for us. With his E - Slice hitting onto Rengar to pick up the kill, it allowed him to activate his second E - Dice, which he used to get to Hauntzer's Shen.
Now, seeing that WildTurtle's Ashe has bad positioning, Renekton flashes into her, managing to hit the stun (due to Turtle's late flash) and making sure there is no way she survives. Team Dignitas then proceeded to shut Shen down with Chaser flashing in, hitting his Cocoon and ending this fight once and for all.
Hope you were able to learn from this analysis, we will see you all again next week!
