Making a statement for South Korea, SK Telecom T1 summoned Bae "Bengi" Seong-woong off the bench to assist Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok to body North America's Cloud9. This wasn't so much a game as it was a solo queue stomp.
C9's mid laner Nicolaj "Jensen" Jensen was the target of constant abuse from Bengi and Faker; he simply couldn't hold his own against the two-time World Champions and ended up with no kills, six deaths and six assists. Jungler William "Meteos" Hartman had little presence in the early and mid game while Bengi made moves in the mid and top lanes.
Bottom and top lane for C9 were relatively even most of the time in the laning phase, but SKT simply converted its bullying of Jensen into a tangible lead that was never relinquished. While this was supposed to be a big game for C9 top laner Jung "Impact" Eon-yeong, who was taking on his former team, the North Americans as a whole fell flat. At 27 minutes SKT was ahead 11k gold, and walked into a defenseless base to claim the easy victory at 34 minutes.
