After securing first place earlier in the day thanks to CLG's loss, Team Liquid decided to have a bit of fun against TSM by drafting a Teamfight Tasctics-esque Glacial comp. As entertaining as that was, the funniest part was they actually won.





Liquid ran Volibear top, Nunu jungle, Anivia mid, Ashe ADC, and Braum support: five champions that most people never would've expected to see on the same team in an official LCS match. Apparently, TSM didn't expect it either. Despite Søren "Bjergsen" Bjerg locking in his infamous Zed pick, they couldn't find any answer to Liquid's frontline-heavy draft.





It felt like Liquid were on autopilot this game while TSM were fighting tooth and nail just to secure even the smallest of advantages. From an early invade that lead to Jake "Xmithie" Puchero's Nunu snatching Mingyi "Spica" Lu's Red Buff from under his nose, Liquid transitioned their tempo lead into first blood for themselves.

TSM answered later on with a clutch triple kill onto Jeper "Zven" Svenningsen's Sivir, but they weren't able to do anything with their carry's gold. With their solo laners nullified by two of the hardest champions to kill in the game in Voli and Anivia, TSM could only fumble sloppy plays before Liquid sealed the deal.





"I really did not expect to win, I'm not gonna lie," Yiliang "Doublelift" Peng said in a post-game interview. "We were really trolling."





Now that they've secured the bye, Liquid are looking to use their extra practice time to prepare for semifinals. TSM on the other hand will desperately need to turn things around for postseason after losing a League match a team that was playing TFT.
