Coming into the tournament, Ks.Int was seen as the number 1 team in the world. Of course, there are always disputes about this as rowdy American fanboys will always say EG is the best even as they have had to remake the team with many leaving not too long ago. And there is always talk of Ravens being a top team, albeit they have struggled lately with a lack of motivation it seems. This tournament would most likely define the new #1 team however, with 4 of the world’s best teams playing [EG, TeG, Ks.int, Ravens]. We saw a powerhouse matchup right off the bat however, with the “new” EG facing off against Ks.int.

The beginning of game 1 started with action right off the bat. Enigma went to jungle like normal in the sentinel jungle, however Ks.Int had him warded at the start. Swy grabs a double damage immediately and goes right to ganking him. BigdaddyG (Swissbeatz) is able to escape, thanks in part to realizing the clarity going off on SK and canceling it, allowing him to escape. SK proved to be somewhat useless when he ventured top for a while, until a nice double kill by PotM was made. Slowly, however, EG gained a small kill advantage by the 12 minute mark.
