Game 5:
Fnatic v UoL
Fnatic bring a ton of engage and AoE damage with Rumble and Ahri, and UoL bring more or less the same teamfight centric comp they had in game 4, replacing Sivir with Lucian. This should be bloody.
And it starts off that way, Viziscasci Teleport ganking Huni at level 1, Vardags picking up first blood. He doesn't get an assist though, and with no TP he gets no farm. He makes the only decision available and tries to zone Huni off of his wave, but Yellowstar comes top to defend the tower and secure Huni some experience. UoL stay calm and use their advantage well though, having Vardags base the instant he has enough gold for his BF Sword and securing second blood on Huni before his flash comes up, albeit it goes to Kikis and he and Viziscasci both have to blow their flashes for it. Huni respawns and TPs back to his lane, which lets UoL in to take the first dragon with TP advantage.
Kikis goes top in an attempt to catch Huni again, but he dashes forward until to run straight in to Reignover, and Huni doesn't need a second invitation to drop the Equalizer and burn him down - Maokai and Sejuani being no match for Rumble and Gragas in a 2v2 - although again the jungler ends up with the kill. The game is even as the lane phase draws towards a close, and it looks like the split is going to come down to some huge teamfights.
And to no one's surprise they come quickly. Kikis pushes deep in to Fnatic's souther jungle and jumps on to Yellowstar and Steelback, and both TPs are called in. Reignover buys time for his AD carry while PoE and Vardags get forced to take on Huni and Febiven 2v2, which, despite a good Shockwave, they lose. It looks like UoL will be able to retreat with a small loss, but Reignover lands a Body Slam on to Vardags and Hylissang and it ends up 4-2 in Fnatic's favour after a chase. UoL still want to contest the dragon but end up giving up another kill as Fnatic have much better positioning following their win.
Not sure I agree with Steelback going Ghostblade second when he's faced with a Maokai and Sejuani, especially when UoL look like they're going in to farm mode. It ends up paying off, though, as UoL don't go in to farm mode like they should. Instead they try to take dragon at 24 minutes, and Fnatic collapse on them and run them down thanks to the frontloaded damage from Rumble, Ahri and Sivir. From here, Fnatic leverage their lead to bait baron in to the jungle and blow them up.
Just when the game looks over, UoL manage to defend their nexus against a push that prompted the victory music after Huni TP'd behind him in the bottom lane. Then UoL sneak a second dragon to postpone the 5th dragon threat, and with Febiven forced to clear bot lane they're able to get wards down near the baron. Their comp is starting to scale up - Rumble's ult isn't what it was 20 minutes ago. It's all coming down to the next engagement.
Fnatic realise what they need to do - punish UoL's aggressive builds by piling on too PowerOfEvil or Vardags, and they do so! With a commanding 39 minute teamfight victory, Fnatic are the EU LCS Spring Split 2015 Champions!
Yellowstar lifts the trophy and kisses it.
