LoL Arena: Black Gets Solo'd
@ MLG LoL Arena channel

The last groupmatch of the day between the unknown European Black who've been underperforming quite a bit if you know they 2-0'ed Curse.eu in the online qualifier. However they had to take on 2 substitutes for this event. TSM shouldn't have much trouble and win the Bo3 easily so they can have their rematch versus the mighty Blaze.

* TSM Bans: Soraka, Lee Sin, Alistar
* Black Bans: Shen, Ahri, Rumble

* TSM picks: Vladimir, Kennen, Sona, Ezrael, Shyvana
* Black picks: Maokai, Janna, Malphite, Graves, Morgana

Unlike the previous series where it was all about invading at lvl 1,both teams play it defensive, covering their whole jungle and both junglers picking up their own blue. For Svenskeren that might not be the standard route but she invades to delay TheOddOne from taking his red. Black's jungler can do this without much danger because TSM switched their botlane to top so if it would've came to a teamfight it would've been 4 for black against 3 of TSM. As Chaox and Xpecial push top, Shyvana comes in for the gank but she's at half hp, both TSM players didn't back down, taking out both the jungler and Vladimir aswell as the first tower, Azubu blaze style.

As soon as the bot duo recalled they went botlane to try and take out another tower, the aggression delivered them 2 kills and a tower in 2 battles. As expected Black can't do much against this very experienced team, TSM is already starting to dive the towers and we're only 10 minutes in. TSM are looking quite confident right now, killing champions left right and center while Black has no time to react on all the chaos which is no surprise since they're a mixteam. The gold lead says it all, an 11K gold difference at the 16 minute mark.

Solomid keep picking Black off one by one, nothing more to say since Black really can't do anything about it. Chaox gets a triple kill and is at 10-0-8. When ever the teamfight ends he's always at full hp, something which shouldn't happen. The game is over after 23 minutes, Chaox ended game 1 with another triple kill and my guess is the pace in the next 2 games won't be much different.
