Samsung Galaxy continued its strong run, ending Week 10, Day 2 of the League of Legends Champions Korea Spring Split with a sixth straight series win after taking down MVP 2-0 on Wednesday in Seoul, South Korea.
Samsung (13-4, 28-12 match record) didn't start Game 1 on the right foot after MVP (10-7, 23-19 match record) picked up first blood, taking advantage of a misplay by Samsung jungler Minseung "Haru" Kang. However, Samsung eventually regained control following a series of picks near the 19-minute mark. Relying on objective control coupled with strong play from mid laner Lee "Crown" Min-ho's Syndra and AD carry Park "Ruler" Jae-hyuk's Ezreal, Samsung continued to build on its lead into the late game. It was the massive damage output from Ruler, including a triple kill in the final teamfight that Samsung used to take the Game 1 win in this series. He finished with a massive 8/2/7 KDA (kills/deaths/assists).
Game 2 started off slow for Samsung, as MVP once again picked up first blood. Crown answered right back with a flurry of kills from his Taliyah, who became an absolute terror in the game. On the back of some teamfight wins and tower destruction, Samsung quickly jumped out to a lead, in large part thanks to Crown's dominance. A 4-for-1 teamfight win at the 21-minute mark made the final outcome seem like nothing but a formality, as there was just nothing MVP could do to combat the strength of Samsung's draft. The lead was almost 8,000 by the time Samsung secured the Baron 25 minutes. That was all she wrote for MVP. Samsung barely needed a kill during its final assault on MVP's base to lock up this 27-minute trouncing. With Crown posting a 9/1/2 KDA, there simply was nothing MVP could do to prevent its fate in the tough loss.
Samsung will look to end the season with a seventh straight win when it faces ROX Tigers on Saturday at 4 a.m. ET, while MVP will have a tough match against SK Telecom T1 the same day at 7 a.m. ET.
