After two high-octane games to kick off the 2016 League of Legends World Championship, fans were treated to a much slower, deliberate game when Europe's H2k took on Taiwan's ahq e-sports Club. It took more than 47 minutes and a few Barons, but ahq eventually broke H2k.
The game was never totally out of control for either team, and the gold difference was never insurmountable. Ahq continually pressured Baron, however, eventually taking it in a sloppy fight when most of the team was wiped. Another cleaner attempt came after H2k's mid laner, Yoo "Ryu" Sang-ook, was picked off, leading to a five-man Baron push for ahq.
A two-man ult from the Taiwanese support Kang "Albis" Chia-Wei, who finished 2/1/9 in kills/death/assists, locked up H2k for a clean engage in its own base. Backs against the wall, H2k could only watch as the players fell and the base crumbled.
