This afternoon, we witnessed history in the Super League Domino’s, with one of the most thrilling series that will be etched in our memories for a long time. Barça’s comeback was nothing short of phenomenal, and it’s a testament to their unwavering determination. Giantx Pride, on the other hand, let slip a tie that seemed all but secured, not only with a 2-0 lead but also with a substantial advantage of ten thousand gold in the third map.
The first game was a straightforward win for the giant team, as they took the lead with a swift victory on a map that suited them. They dominated the early game, something that would become a recurring theme throughout the series, and managed to snowball their advantage. However, as the series progressed, Giantx Pride began to lose their grip. In the second game, they were on the brink of throwing away a match they had under control, but Feisty’s spectacular backdoor with Ryze after 45 minutes of play saved the day. Legolas, playing Jinx, almost pulled off a miracle, and the 2-0 scoreline felt like a crushing blow to Barça.
The third map was where things took a dramatic turn. Barça seemed to have given up, and the giants were in control, with a significant advantage of over nine thousand gold. But the culés staged an epic defense of their base, with Legolas unleashing his skills on Jhin, and managed to turn the tide in their favor. Despite being down by almost ten thousand gold, without nexus towers, and with their base exposed, Barça fought back to win the map 2-1, leaving everyone stunned.
Giantx Pride opted for an early-game focused composition in the fourth map, hoping to capitalize on Barça’s struggles in this phase. However, the culés endured the giants’ onslaught and managed to send the encounter to a fifth and decisive map. This game was a nail-biter, with both teams trading blows and neither able to gain a clear advantage. As the clock ticked past the 30-minute mark, it was anyone’s game. But Legolas, playing Kai’sa, and some clever initiations by Top Whiteknight ultimately sealed the deal for Barça, setting up a thrilling showdown with VVV for a spot in the final.
