Match report

[Gank] starts the matching by charging directly into [LaG]'s front base entrance with their whole team. Braindead Dome and Il Aerox Returns Il split off to the back of [Gank]'s base, with Zhu Bot Flagger and Taksue Elezzz countering them. [LaG] has the bottom flagstand capped and they soon boost at 3:20, with [Gank] not even attempting to run the flag. [Gank] have quickly killed one of the Knights in [LaG]'s base, after which point they proceed to sit on [LaG]'s Guild Lord to build up damage on, going for an endgame victory at 28:00. Another one of [LaG]'s Knights during this process, as it sat balled up on [LaG]'s Guild Lord. [Gank] take a death on Smoki Bot Heal just before 6:00 (while Dark Bot Prot is out chasing more [LaG] players who have split) and he resurrects in his base before any of his teammates can get him up. With no healers in [LaG]'s base now, Spotless Or Rq is killed after time as the rest of his team flees [LaG]'s base.

[LaG] pushes [Gank] back to the front of their base, but they are unable to ever push in and the two teams remain fighting there for several minutes, before [Gank] again starts running directly into [LaG]'s base with most of their team. A 4-person split of Saul, Dome, Aerox, and Fretty split to [Gank]'s base, with a 4-person defense team of Dragon, Taksue, Dark, and Zhu countering them. After making no progress in [Gank]'s base, [LaG] collapses everyone on the group of [Gank] players that have been sitting in [LaG]'s base. This split action has forced [Gank] to stay off [LaG]'s Guild Lord, but [LaG] have also not achieved any kills since far earlier in the match. It's interesting to note that this map uniquely has two flagstands, and [LaG] have been in control of both of them for 99% of the entire match, but it has given them hardly any advantage at all.

[LaG] makes a very aggressive push into [Gank]'s base at 19:00 and are able to kill one of [Gank]'s Knights and their Bodyguard, while [Gank] counter-push Spotless Or Rq, Holly Und Lucky, and Smoki Bot Heal into [LaG]'s base. This scenario could favor [LaG] if the split remained as such, they would be able to deal damage to [Gank]'s Lord and [Gank] will not be able to deal much damage [LaG]'s Lord with only 3 players in the latter's base (since [LaG]'s Bodyguard and two pit Archers are still alive), but unfortunately [LaG] soon start taking a chain of deaths in [Gank]'s base and are forced to retreat back to their own base. [LaG] splits back into [Gank]'s base after resurrecting at 24:00, but they are again killed before they can accomplish much and [Gank] is far ahead on Lord damage. [LaG] makes a final push after ressurecting at 26:00, with almost all of [Gank]'s team following them and quickly killing them before they can accomplish much in [Gank]'s base. [Gank] wins the game at 28:00, via Lord damage.
