Guangdong Freecs continued their opening two-game winning streak, defeating OK Savings Bank Brion 2:0 in two games on Day 4 of the 2023 LoL Champions Korea (LCK) Summer Split Regular Season at Jonggak Roll Park on Tuesday. The Guangdong Freaks won both matches without dropping a set to move into sole possession of first place in the standings.
In the first game, Guangdong Freecs took a comfortable lead. They took the Herald of the Gorge, the early game, and the first dragon in quick succession. They also dominated the turret gold. After losing the mid first tower somewhat prematurely, OK Savings Bank Brion played a flawed game in front of the second dragon, allowing three of his allies to leave the battlefield during his Poppy ultimate, resulting in a dragon and multiple kills.
While Brion did manage to chop down the opposing mid-supporter with a nice ambush, he was unable to capitalize on the gains as he failed to get the Baron. Meanwhile, with a gap of nearly 5,000, Guangdong easily racked up three stacks of dragons. Brion cried and used Mustard Eater to defend the Dragon Soul, and Guangdong pounced on Brion inside the Dragon Nest, taking the Dragon and winning the combo. With the numerical advantage, Guangdong rushed to the mid lane and closed out the first game.
Guangdong’s momentum carried over into game two. They outplayed CS on every line without incident, and took the first dragon too easily at the six-minute mark. A counter jungle by ‘Youngjae’ Ko led to two kills. Instead of giving up the blue, the team made a good decision to target Park “Morgan” Ryu-han for the moment, and Lee “Bulldog” Tae-young was very quick to join them. With two kills in hand, ‘Bulldog’s’ Ari bottom-dived for a kill on ‘Tae-yoon’s’ Jerry.
From there, the snowball rolled and Guangdong extended their global gold lead to over 7,000 within 20 minutes. The growth gap was so large that Brion was forced to surrender the soul of his Chemical Engineer dragon without any resistance. They bought a turn of time by blocking the opponent’s Baron attempt, but the gap was already too wide. Winning the one hitter in front of the midrange suppressor and taking the Elder Dragon, Guangdong was able to kill Brion’s attempt at the Four Barons and end the game 메이저사이트.
