LCK forum moderator? ShowMaker's Nasus mid performance is outstanding, Kingen's small mistakes don't prevent DK from winning the first game
Live broadcast on August 23: The LCK Summer Playoffs start today! The first match is between DK and FOX!
In the first game, ShowMaker picked Nasus mid for the first time in ten years in the LCK! And this champion successfully suppressed Clozer's Azir in lane! DK firmly controlled the early game pace, but Kingen's Rumble getting caught repeatedly + giving up kills allowed FOX to catch a breath and hold the situation! In the crucial dragon fight, Moham's Rell flashed to engage the backline, helping his teammates deal with FOX's top and jungle, and DK took Baron to widen their advantage! In the second Baron fight, SMK's Nasus took on three and single-handedly killed Seraphine, and after DK took the second Baron, the situation was decided! In the final base fight, although Clozer's Azir pushed back Nasus and coordinated with his teammates to kill him instantly, Moham's Rell engaged four and, along with Smord and Rumble, cleared the battlefield! DK took the first point!
