The matches began in the key of winners of the League of Legends Latin America League playoffs. In this case, Rainbow7, who had finished first in the regular phase, was surprised by an Estral who gave them no chance and defeated them 3-0 to send them to the lower bracket.
The Rainbow came from an almost perfect first stage, where they won 13 matches and only lost in one. For their part, the eagles had won eight wins and six losses. Even the head to head had been 2-0 for Rainbow7, which was shaping up as the top favorite, but the story was different.
In the first game, during the early game there was a lot of action that ended in a balanced result: after 10 minutes, they were 3-3 in kills, Rainbow7 with a slight gold lead and Estral had won the Herald and the first Dragon. After 20 minutes, a clash in the middle lane was in favor of the eagles 3-1, which allowed them to secure another Dragon and tip the balance of the match in their favor. The advantage was even greater with a teamfight that ended 4-0 in favor of Estral, who was on the way to victory and achieved it after 34 minutes of the game to be 1-0.
The Rainbow started better in the second game, but quickly the eagles balanced everything and in the early game there were already 6 kills on each side. Around the middle of the game, Rainbow7 clearly dominated and had 7,000 gold ahead and 6 towers knocked down, but his rivals did not give up and kept fighting to stay in the game. At 34 minutes, the Rainbow squad tried to push through the middle lane and entered the rival base, but Estral won the battle and achieved an extermination that put them above them in gold. Everything was defined at 41, when the eagles won 3-0 a teamfight by mid and gave the final thrust to put 2-0 in the series.
What would end up being the last game was the fastest of all, and that is that Estral was always ahead, both in gold and in murders and objectives. At 27 minutes they got what was missing: 4 casualties and Baron Nashor to exert the final pressure through the middle lane and close the series 3-0.
With this result, Estral is already in the final of the winners key waiting for the winner between Team Aze and Infinity. As for the lower bracket, Isurus waits in round 2, while Rainbow7 in the third. The other semifinal will be played today at 17 (AR).
