IPL 4 started yesterday and provided us with a bunch of interesting matches to watch. The matches played were the four quarterfinals and after that the two semi-finals from the winner’s bracket, as well. In case you missed the show because of work, sleep (as it went on till really late in EU time zones) or other commitments, here’s a quick run-down of what happened. Counter Logic Gaming vsGame 1:Game 1 started with each team stealing the red buff from the other one, followed by a very passive early game and a couple of unsuccessful ganks from SaintVicious. At the 10 minute mark CLG tried to take dragon, but Linak successfully stole it with a smite and aAa took first blood on Saintvicious as well. After the members of aAa turned level 6 they tried ganking all over the place, but the luck was on CLG’s side and they got away with little to no health every time. aAa also managed to take 2 more dragons, but CLG answered with taking baron and killing Linak. After that HotshotGG started his trademarked split pushing. aAa managed to take another dragon, but a team fight occurred and CLG took 3 kills for nothing and 4 more in the same manner at the next fight. Finally aAa secured their second kill against HotshotGG with MoMa and Linak using their ults. Soon after CLG initiated on baron, Linak tried to steal it but died instead, so CLG grabbed baron, killed MoMa and took the game with 13 – 2 score after a team fight in aAa base in which they had 3 kills for nothing once more.Game 2:In the second game the top and mid players from aAa changed their lanes and CLG answered that with sending HotshotGG bot. 4 minutes into the game Saintvicious ganked bot and HotshotGG took first blood on Yellow, but died to tower hits. CLG also took the 1st dragon in the game. Saintvicious ganked bot again and Yellow died, while in the same time Linak ganked top, where Moma and Doublelift died as Chauster barely survived with a flash. CLG took the 2nd dragon as well but aAa managed to kill Saintvicious. After some more back and forth play aAa tried to take second middle turret, but CLG aced them without losing anybody, took baron and started pushing towards the base. Linak tried backdoring and got till CLG’s top inhibitor when he realized his team couldn’t handle it 4 vs 5. Unfortunately, it was already too late and CLG took the second game and the series 2 – 0, sending aAa to the lower bracket. Epik Gaming vsGame 1:The first match started strong for Epik as they stole Curse’s red and took first blood on Pobelter at top lane. Soon after, he returned the favor by killing ClakeyD after a fail attempt for counter-jungling. After that Curse picked up the 1st dragon of the game. When the dragon respawned both teams were ready for it and a team fight occurred which ended in 3 for 3 kills. After the players respawned they headed back there but this time Curse aced Epik without losing anyone and pushed mid till the inhibitor, which they took eventually as well as killing 4 for 0. Curse then went onto baron; Epik followed them and got aced again, which secured Curse victory in the first match.Game 2:The second game started with two kills over Pobelter after successful ganks from ClakeyD. Soon after Curse took the 1st dragon as teams traded 1 kill each. A new team fight occurred when the dragon respawned which Curse won with 2 kills for nothing plus the dragon kill. Curse was also able to take baron uncontested as well as another dragon. They also took the second baron, killing 2 from Epik immediately after that and pushing their advantage until the nexus fell down. Team SoloMid vsGame 1:Game 1 started incredibly well for TSM as an early invasion in v8 jungle led to a 3 vs 3 situation in which Dyrus picked first blood on TakashiX and TheOddOne killed TreeEskimo. They followed with a 3 man gank and picked TakashiX from beneath his turret. TSM continued pushing their advantage and after taking a dragon aced v8 with only 2 dead from their team. After a team fight occurred near baron they got two kills and the buff, as well as two more kills of v8 members trying to steal the baron. TSM then pushed mid and top base turrets and inhibitors, got two more kills and finished the game with 17 – 4 score.Game 2:Game 2 started the opposite way - TSM again invaded v8’s jungle, but this time TreeEskimo took first blood on Dyrus and UnstoppableX killed Reginald. v8 proceeded with two ganks top, everyone of which resulted in Dyrus dying. v8 took the 1st three dragons of the game, while trading some kills with TSM, but still staying in the lead. Then a fight occurred in front of baron, TSM took 3 for nothing, got the baron buff, killed UnstoppableX and took a dragon kill. v8 tried to get back in the game with a kill on Dyrus who got caught by all 5 of them and a 2 for 1 fight in their favor near second top turret of TSM. TSM then managed to take the second baron before v8 got there, an amazing team fight occurred afterwards in which only Chaox survived. After all players respawned, TreeEskimo initiated on TSM but his team got aced, so TSM rushed through mid and finished the game and set 2 – 0. Team Dignitas vsGame 1:The matches between Tthese two teams proved to be very exciting and full of surprises and turnarounds. The first game of the series started off with both teams trading red buffs. Mono took first blood on IW Dominate while he was still at the red buff. NintendudeX (Mono’s jungler) made a successful gank at bot lane, took the 1st dragon and Mono continued pushing their advantage until taking a baron buff and finishing the game with it.Game 2:The second game started with Voyboy playing solo top Lulu. NintendudeX picked up first blood on Lulu with an early gank, but Voyboy picked up ZionSpartan (Mono’s top laner) in the process, keeping the score even. ParadoXical (Mono’s mid laner) ganked bot taking the second kill of the game. Later in the game after a lot of back and forth, Dignitas initiated on baron but it got stolen by Mono. Dignitas still tried to stay in the game and after a team fight in which 3 from Mono died, they pushed through mid and took the second game.Game 3:In the third game it was time for Scarra to show his unconventional picks with a Soraka mid. Sadly, it didn’t help him much when Mono invaded dig’s jungle, found him alone and took him for the first blood. NintendudeX ganged top three times, which resulted in three deaths for Voyboy. Mono continued with two dragons and two kills over Scarra and IWDominate near baron, which resulted in a baron buff for them and two middle turrets. They proceeded with taking the top and bot second turrets and after a long team fight in dig’s jungle and mid lane, Mono aced them, losing only 3. In the next team fight though it was dig’s turn to ace the other team and lose 3; Dignitas also won the next 3 team fights, taking a baron buff and pushing through mid again to take the match and the set which most of the time looked like a sure victory for Mono. Team Curse Academy vsGame 1:The game started with Reginald ganking bot and geting first blood on Elementz. He then tried to kill NYjacky, but died to Crumbzz instead. Soon after, both teams were hanging around dragon, a team fight occurred with TSM taking 3 for 0 and the dragon. Then TSM initiated on baron, Curse followed them and TSM killed 4 for 1. After 2 more team fights won by TSM, they took the game in a very convincing matter.Game 2:The second game started with TSM giving the first blue to Reginald and TheOddOne almost killing Crumbzz at Curse’s red and taking the buff. Pobelter got first blood on Dyrus with the help of NYjacky’s Karthus ult. At the 10 minute mark Curse took the 1st dragon. Crumbzz then ganked bot twice, resulting in 2 deaths for Chaox. Soon after, a fight occured near dragon, ending in 4 for 3 kills in favor of Curse and the dragon kill. TSM initiated on baron, Curse followed and TSM won the fight 3 for 1, taking the baron and a dragon kill afterwards. TSM then caught Curse out of position, killed 2, went for the nexus, killed 2 more and finished the game, advancing to the winner’s bracket final. Counter Logic Gaming vsGame 1:The first game presented yet another interesting pick – ad Fizz top played by Voyboy. He was able to pick up first blood on Lee Sin. Dignitas also took first three dragons uncontested. They also secured a baron kill but didn’t use it to its full potential, so after a lot of back and forth play, CLG won a solid team fight and pushed till the win.Game 2:The second game started with Bigfatjiji claiming first blood on IWDominate with the help of the rest of CLG. CLG also switched up their lanes, sending Doublelift and Chauster to top lane instead of Gangplank. As the match continued CLG took baron and HotshotGG tried split pushing bot. After baron respawned, dig killed Bigfatjiji and took the buff. They used it to push down mid line till the inhibitor. They then moved to bottom lane, also getting all of CLG’s towers before taking their 2nd inhibitor. After another baron for dig, they pushed CLG’s base for the last time, killing 4 for nothing and taking the game.Game 3:In game three, it was Dignitas who send top laner Voyboy in the bot lane. He didn’t have a very good start there, as Saintvicious ganked him and took first blood on him. Saintvicious then ganked top, where Doublelift took a double kill in what turned out to be a 3v3 fight; Voyboy, who just got there, took a double kill, as well. Dig secured the first 2 dragons of the game and initiated on baron, as CLG tried to fight for it, but got aced without dig losing anyone. So dig took baron, mid and bot turrets and inhibitors, killing Bigfatjiji on the way. Then they pushed top, killed 2 more and finished the game, advancing to the winner’s bracket final.IPL 4 continues today with the matches from the lower bracket and the winner’s bracket final, so tune in and enjoy some more amazing mactches!
