Week 6 in the EU, happening in Lille, France, apparently.
SK Gaming vs Giants
[SK bans: Kennen, Elise, Kassadin][Giants bans: Kayle, Jarvan, Shen]
SK: Zed, Volibear, Twisted Fate, Miss Fortune, Lulu
Giants: Kha'Zix, Nasus, Ryze, Trist, Zyra
Solid win from SK. Nothing really exciting
Against All Authority vs Evil Geniuses
[aAa bans: Lux, Anivia, Zed][EG bans: Sona, Elise, Jarvan]
aAa: Nasus, Shen, Kayle, Varus, Taric
EG: Renekton, Cho'Gath, Cassiopeia, Miss Fortune, Thresh
Low kill game, controlled all the way through by EG
Gambit Gaming vs Fnatic Gaming
[GG bans: Leona, Nunu, Elise][Fnatic bans: Shen, Renekton, Thresh]
GG: Kha'Zix, Volibear, Kayle, Kog'Maw, Lulu
Fnatic: Jayce, Nasus, Twisted Fate, Varus, Blitzcrank
Fnatic plays a beauty of a game, and after the loss, we start to get a better picture of the underlying relationships. GG are apparently not here to play. I guess, in Soviet Russia, game play you? Racist memes aside, GG is apparently did not get a gaming house in Germany, preferring to fly in every weekend to smoke fools and then fly home, and they do not socialize or make nice with other teams. They are only here to dominate and take their money, thanks. Losing is apparently excruciatingly unacceptable, and you can see it on their faces afterwards - even though they played a solid game and only lost because Fnatic played a flawless one, they are royally pissed. It's interesting and worth keeping an eye on. After all, it is a game, GG. Chillax.
Copenhagen Wolves vs Dragonborns
[CW bans: Draven, Zed, Xin Zhao][DB bans: Renekton, Caitlyn, Lux]
CW: Singed, Jarvan, Kha'Zix, Graves, Thresh
DB: Rumble, Volibear, Kayle, Varus, Taric
This game is inside the vid for the following game, but it cuts off partway through, so don't bother starting it up.
Gambit Gaming vs SK Gaming
[GG bans: Jarvan, Kayle, Volibear][SK bans: Renekton, Shen, Darius]
GG: Elise, Nasus, Kha'Zix, Miss Fortune, Thresh
SK: Jax, Vi, Twisted Fate, Graves, Lulu
GG takes it's towering ire out on SK, and AlexIch shows Darian how Kha'Zix is really played. With brutality.
Evil Geniuses vs Giants
[EG bans: Elise, Kassadin, Jarvan][Giants bans: Lux, did not ban 2nd or 3rd]
EG: Zed, Nassus, Anivia, Miss Fortune, Thresh
Giants: Kha'Zix, Mundo, Twisted Fate, Ashe, Lulu
Giants was apparently late to the stage, and their punishment was the loss of two bans. So guess who gets Zed and Anivia and then rolls face starting from minute one? I guess their real punishment was to sit through an entire game, even though they basically lost it in a level 1 team fight very early.
Against All Authority vs Copenhagen Wolves
[aAa bans: Lux, Singed, Twisted Fate][CW bans: Elise, Sona, Karthus]
aAa: Kha'Zix, Volibear, Rumble, Vayne, Thresh
CW: Renekton, Jarvan, Zed, Varus, Lulu
What's going on, aAa? Don't you have home field advantage in France?
Dragonborns vs Fnatic
[DB bans: Leona, Kassadin, Elise][Fnatic bans: Draven, Lux, Jarvan]
DB: Renekton, Xin Zhao, Gragas, Ezreal, Janna
Fnatic: Shen, Nasus, Zed, Varus, Nunu
DB has two substitutes this week? I didn't hear why, but they weren't the most cohesive team before this, either.
Against All Authority vs SK Gaming
[aAa bans: Jarvan, Nassus, Kha'Zix][SK bans: Sona, Elise, Thresh]
aAa: Kennen, Udyr, Zed, Caitlyn, Lulu
SK: Shen, Volibear, Kayle, Graves, Taric
Seriously, aAa? Is it because you've been banned from using Sona lately? Is your whole comp dependent on Crescendo? Is Karalius prone to getting caught in the jungle if he's not Sona? Despite the magical matchup of every lane (ninja v ninja, bear v bear, mask v mask, guns v guns, and purple v purple) I can't recommend this game, too much of a roll.
Copenhagen Wolves vs Evil Geniuses
[CW bans: Anivia, Elise, Thresh][EG bans: Singed, Kha'Zix, Kassadin]
CW: Shen, Xin Zhao, Zed, Varus, Lulu
EG: Renekton, Jarvan, Lux, Graves, Alistar
This game was magnificently even all the way to the end, and basically was a wacky nailbiter that felt like it was in sudden death for nearly half an hour. A good one to watch.
Fnatic vs Giants
[Fnatic bans: Ryze, Elise, Kassadin][Giants bans: Blitzcrank, Shen, Twisted Fate]
Fnatic: Zed, Nasus, Katarina, Varus, Nunu
Giants bans: Kha'Zix, Jarvan, Zyra, Kennen, Sona
xPeke makes a strong case for the following: 1) split pushing is the true path to victory, 2) Katarina is, in fact, a split pusher, and 3) xPeke for president.
Dragonborns vs Gambit Gaming
[DB bans: Shen, Renekton, Kayle][GG bans: Draven, Jarvan, Gragas]
DB: Zed, Xin Zhao, Lux, Sivir, Lulu
GG: Elise, Nasus, Evelynn, Miss Fortune, Thresh
DB gets a cheese first blood very early, and it seems to make GG mad...

GG 11-3
SK 10-7
EG 10-8
CW 6-11
aAa 5-10
