[All-Star 2018] NA Wins against EU, Doublelift’s Outstanding Play Saves All
The All-Star Rivalry Show Match between the NA LCS and EU LCS took place in Las Vegas on December 6th. It was a match where pros and streamers got together to compete. Sneaky, who played in the mid lane, stood out even from the early laning phase. He displayed aggressive plays with his LeBlanc and got 3 kills before 10 minutes had passed. Licorice, who had played accordingly to his original role, picked Lucian and comfortably pressured the lane against Wickd. It seemed as if NA had the most momentum at first, but the tide turned during the mid phase. EU Jiizuké's Cassiopeia got a solo kill against Sneaky and eliminated the enemy jungler who came to back up. Simultaneously, Caps and NoWay got kills against Doublelift and Imaqtpie in the bot lane.
