While you were sleeping, players from China and Korea were obliterating each other on the rift. Here's a quick summary of what you missed.

LCK:

Mess with the bull

When we talk about power picks in this meta, Alistar might not be on the tips of our tongues as much as he was last year — but a fantastic engage from Secret's Alistar in Game 1 between SBENU and e-mFire got them off to an early lead.

Secret's Headbutt and Pulverize combo started the fight, and smart positioning from the cow helped them win it. Sure, SBENU went on to lose the series 2-1, but who says supports can't carry?

Don't make Smeb angry

The ROX Tigers may have been ahead in their game against Longzhu but when PraY got caught out it looked like LZ may have found an opening. But then, when they chose to engage 5v4 near the Tigers' inner mid turret, Smeb decided to take matters into his own hands.

And, you know, just do Fiora things.

Sometimes you get Fiora-ed. It happens to the best of us.

LPL:

QG are good at teamfighting, and reap the benefits

Masters3 got off to a decent start in their second game against the QG Reapers, with a quick two kills in the top lane.

But later on QG pulled out their signature teamfighting to take a clutch fight in the bottom lane, despite a gold deficit.

Excellent positioning from Swift's jungle Graves at the backline, and hilarious amounts of damage from V's Poppy combined with some solid Alistar combos to swing the game back in QG's favor and set up the 2-0 sweep.

LGD is... losing

After a heartbreaking end of the 2015 season, LGD don't look poised to make a comeback in their domestic league. Their almost complete collapse in the LPL continued today with a 2-0 sweep at the hands of WE of all people.

The start of their second game didn't exactly set LGD up for success.

A somewhat inexplicable Level 1 teamfight played right into Zero's hand, and his Braum helped CC LGD's comp into the ground, with easy procs on his passive. A 3-0 start before minions spawn? Not bad.
