The Bo Show: LEC Groups Day 3 Recap
There were lots of flashy highlights sprinkled throughout these games but most of them were executed by one man, Bo. Vitality had a flawless victory against Astralis, advancing them to the next portion of the LEC Winter Split alongside BDS who themselves decimated KOI in shocking fashion.
VITALITY vs ASTRALIS (2-0)
GAME 1:
The match started out in the worst way possible for Astralis. Vitality executed a level one invade that put a kill onto Upset’s Draven, making the bot lane very volatile for Kobbe and Jeonghoon. At 3:15, a fight between both junglers started in the river and Bo came out on top with the help of Perkz. Astralis did well to punish the over-aggression from Vitality at around 9:00 and gave themselves a way back into the game. At the third dragon fight, Astralis obliterated Vitality due to Finn’s menacing Olaf. When Vitality tried to start Baron a few minutes later, Astralis showed them that they weren’t allowed to take it while they were on the map. But it wasn’t enough. In the proceeding two team fights, Bo and Photon played them to perfection and shut Astralis out of the game.
GAME 2:
Bo continued to put on a show, starting the game off with a flashy solo kill onto 113. His Lee Sin completely took over the game after that, diving both top and bot lane. At the bottom dive, LIDER teleported in to try and protect his bot lane. However he was too late and was unfortunately the next victim of Bo's rampage. The game was a wash from there. Bo continued to roam the map killing anybody that appeared on his screen and Kaiser made sure to setup some plays for his team on Rakan. They ended the game with Baron at 23:00 and Bo finished with a 12/2/12 score line.
TEAM BDS vs KOI (2-0)
GAME 1:
Sheo and Nuc put their synergy on display with a clean dive onto Larssen to open up the game. KOI's support Trymbi had some really nice hooks on Thresh but it wasn't enough to get Comp the lead he might want. Instead, BDS's star AD Carry Crownie showed up big at the second dragon fight and showed he was the more impactful bot laner. BDS continued to show their synergy as a team, roaming the map, and executing even more dives onto Larssen's Akali. They ended off the game with a brutal Mountain Soul plus Baron Buff combo and KOI stood no chance against their nexus siege.
GAME 2:
KOI got the head start this time, getting their own dive onto Adam and setting him behind early. At the second dragon fight, Larssen and Szygenda made an amazing play using the Orianna shockwave to pull BDS into the Kennen maelstrom, but on the backside of the fight, Nuc was able to pick up a triple kill on his Cassiopeia. BDS were able to, once again, get themselves a flawless Ocean Soul and with Nuc being so incredibly far ahead of anybody else in the game, it was hopeless for KOI. BDS would end the game at 28:00 and Nuc would walk off stage with a 11/1/7 score line on his Cassiopeia
