There was a world where OMG with full-momentum could’ve toppled EDG but the LPL first seed showed their dominance. They dropped the first game but came back with a vengeance and swiftly won the series 3-1. EDG now faces JDG on Sunday.
EDWARD GAMING vs OH MY GOD (3-1)
GAME 1:
EDG carried on the strategy of banning out most of Shanji’s champion pool and letting Able play Xayah. The fight for the second Rift Herald gave Ale a massive lead on Fiora and the game was starting to slip out of OMG’s hands. However EDG over-forced some fights and Able punished them with his feathers. At 24:00 OMG snuck the Baron and demolished EDG when they came to contest, they converted into Ocean Soul, and a victory in Game 1.
GAME 2:
EDG severely out-drafted OMG and put their composition to work, gaining an early lead. Jiejie’s Viego was everywhere on the map, making plays, and covering Leave and Meiko. OMG tried to pick a fight at 14:30 but Ale found a great flank on Kennen earning himself a triple kill. OMG fought hard to claw their way back, but after EDG claimed the Mountain Soul, there was nothing they could do. Leave finished the game with a 9/2/10 score line on Aphelios.
GAME 3:
The game was very back and forth with a lot of action in the bot lane. FoFo’s Veigar pick started to become a nuisance for OMG. Stopping a lot of their engages with his cage and one-shotting anyone who came near him. At the fourth dragon fight, he earned himself a Quadra Kill and EDG closed out the game soon after. FoFo finished with a 9/1/3 score line.
GAME 4:
OMG got a good draft for themselves on Blue side, featuring Akali for Creme and K’Sante for Shanji. But their bot lane had a tragic 2v2 that went in favor of EDG, giving Leave’s Zeri a few early kills. FoFo got a lead on Jayce which allowed EDG to poke out OMG before objective fights. Creme tried his best on Akali to kill the EDG carries but they were too far ahead and EDG won the series 3-1.
