The match between LGD Gaming and Suning Gaming in the third week of the LPL Spring 2020 group stage unfolded with a somewhat surprising and unpredictable scenario.
The match can be divided into two completely opposite extremes: a disastrous first half and a soaring second half for Suning Gaming.
A personal mistake caused SN to quickly fall behind in game 1 against LGD led by Peanut. Even though SofM managed to secure a somewhat lucky Baron steal, it was not enough to salvage the game.
As the first half of game 2 began, the SN players continued to “perform comically” with critical mistakes, notably the situation of diving the turret 2 versus 3 without minions in the bottom lane. It seemed that LGD, with the former prodigy Peanut, could easily seek victory, but the stars of SN suddenly shone bright.
In the later stages of the match, SwordArt, playing Thresh, consistently executed precise hooks, locking down LGD’s key champions in team fights. Additionally, Biubiu (the substitute for Bin in the Top Lane who is currently in quarantine) made beautiful engages with Kennen, turning the tide of the match in favor of SN.
As they gained momentum, having shaken off the psychological burden from the early mistakes, the SN players performed as if possessed, consistently achieving overwhelming victories in the late stages of game 2 and throughout game 3.
As a result, SofM and Suning Gaming pulled off a spectacular comeback to defeat LGD Gaming with a total score of 2-1, securing their third win of the spring season and reinforcing their ambition to qualify for the playoffs.
