SofM can excel with all champions that embody a “bloodthirsty” style against opponents, but to choose the champion that leaves the deepest impression on the LPL audience in the hands of “Little Fatty”, it can only be Graves.
And in today’s match against Team WE, the star of Suning Gaming once again brought Graves back into the professional arena, taking on the role of carrying the team in the decisive game to secure the victory for SN.
Both WE and SN had won their opening matches in LPL Summer 2020; however, Team WE was considered the stronger team, having defeated the formidable EDward Gaming in their match.
The developments in the early game also reflected this, as WE easily crushed SN and took the lead in the first game. However, that was all the former LPL champions could do before being overturned by a pack of young lions full of energy.
Suning quickly regained their composure and took back control in the next two games. In the second game, Kassadin in Angel’s hands danced wildly among the WE lineup, creating countless openings for huanfeng’s Aphelios to unleash damage, bringing SN back to a tie.
However, the highlight of the match belonged to the third game when SofM brought out his signature champion Graves. It goes without saying, the LPL fan community was very excited to witness SofM using this champion once again.
And not disappointing the expectations, the SofM-branded Graves completely dominated the game, annihilating Team WE and boasting a perfect KDA of 12/1/6.
As the earliest team to compete in the second match series, Suning Gaming temporarily rises to the top of the LPL Spring 2020 group standings with two consecutive wins. With a fairly good record of 4 wins – 1 loss, even if the remaining teams complete their matches, SN will still firmly remain among the top teams after the second set of matches.
It seems that returning to offline competitions has positively impacted the performance of SofM and his teammates; if LNG Esports is not a significant threat, then defeating a highly-rated team like WE shows a lot of promise for a transformation of SN in this summer season.
