Day 37 of the 2021 LCK Summer split has come to its conclusion; NS RedForce and DWG KIA defeated their respective opponents to lock in their playoff spots.

 

In the first match of the day, NS RedForce defeated Hanwha Life Esports to defend their number one spot in the standings. In game 1 of the series, it looked as if HLE had a good lead in the early game, but Kim “Gori” Tae-woo’s Ryze was able to lock them down. When the game timer hit the 20 minute mark, NS was able to gain a lot of advantages through what they do best; grouping up. Kellin anr Rich’s playmaking abilities shined through the rest of the match, and NS was able to take game 1.

 

In game 2, HLE changed their game plan; get their mid laner, Jeong “Chovy” Ji-hoon ahead. Park “Morgan” Gi-tae and and Chovy’s Orianna were able to utilize their AOE ults to get ahead in teamfights. Although NS tried to get advantages by focusing on side lanes, HLE dominated the 5 vs 5s against NS and tied up the series 1:1.

 

In game 3, NS focused on playing their smart macro game. HLE tried to create fights through Chovy’s Irelia, but Peanut and Gori were able to shut him down and create favorable scenarios for themselves. Once the game got to late game, they were able to use Ziggs’ & Jayce’s poke to take game 3.



In the second match of the evening, DWG KIA faced off against kt Rolster. DWG KIA got ahead on the top side of the map to take game 1. Despite Choi “Doran” Hyun-joon’s Lee Sin trying to get ahead for his team, it was not enough to stop Khan & ShowMaker’s Renekton and Sylas.

 

Both teams focused on different parts of the map in game 2; DWG KIA managed to kill Galio multiple times in the bot lane, while KT got Doran’s Renekton ahead. However, DWG KIA got massively ahead in teamfights, as they rendered Doran’s Renekton useless. Heo “ShowMaker” Su’s Leblanc and Kim “Canyon” Geon-bu’s Lee Sin were able to gain further advantages as the game went on, thus shutting out KT 2-0.
