Ube is back, Blacklist International went back to its roots. Despite TNC getting 4-kills from OhmyV33NUS’ Mathilda, the gold between both teams did not budge. It even went counterproductive for the side of TNC as their members gained bounties that resulted in a three thousand gold lead right after Blacklist was able to secure some kills into the members of TNC. Immediately after Blacklist secured the Lord, TNC went for an ambush play and tried to burst the wandering OhMyV33NUS. Even with the perfect execution of skills from the members of TNC, they were unable to burst down Mathilda but instead a counterplay from Blacklist punished TNC. Blacklist then went for a Lord. Fortunately for TNC, a good flanking play from Kramm divided the attention of Blacklist. It enabled TNC to preserve their base.

18-minutes into the game, Blacklist secured their third Lord, killing four members of TNC in the process. With Kramm and the respawned Benthings defending their base, Hadji was able to secure a Maniac, wiped out TNC, and knocked on their base, taking game number one.

For game number two, TNC denied a Valentina pick for Hadji however, it was not effective. A few skirmishes around the map enabled Blacklist to accumulate a small lead that slowly ballooned to seven thousand by 6 minutes. Just before the third turtle spawned, Kramm tried to pick off Wise using Way of the Dragon, but there was no damage follow up from his teammates. A mess of a team fight from TNC allowed Blacklist to freely take the third turtle. 11 minutes into the game, Blacklist secured a Lord and proceeded to chase down the members of TNC after its failed set-up attempt, killing both Escalera and Kramm. Blacklist with the Lord siege took down the inhibitor turrets of TNC. An Iron Hook from Benthings connected to Wise, unfortunately for him, Wise had the Heavy Spin available and instead pinned down the members of TNC. With Yasuwo solo defending, Blacklist easily dismantled TNC’s base. Securing a 2-0 series win and the top spot for the playoffs.
