  2. SKT are definitely not infallible

    Take note, Faker fans...

    Richard 'Pulse' Kam
    eSports Caster

    AHQ pushed SKT at the start of some of the games today and Westdoor even took down Faker in one on one combat but if Alien has taught me anything, it's not always a good thing that your opponent can bleed.

    We've been shown that SKT can bleed

    James 'Stress' O'Leary

  3. SKT will face Origen next week in Brussels

    SKT made short work of AHQ today but Origen struggled against the Flash Wolves yesterday. Will Origen be able to challenge the Korean powerhouse SKT in the semi finals?

  4. Game, set and match!

  5. SKT Sweep AHQ 3-0 in the best of 5

    AHQ looked better and better as the series progressed, but in the end SKT's ability to punish mistakes results in three consecutive wins, taking them to the Semi-Finals.

  6. SKT take the third and final game

    In the blink of an eye, SKT turned things around on AHQ, taking out a turret and the Nexus in what felt like seconds.

    It will be SKT coming out on top

    Leigh 'Deman' Smith

  7. SKT punish the smallest of mistakes

    AHQ looked like they had control of the game, but SKT get a 4 for 0 fight at Baron and close out the game while AHQ's team was down for the count.

  8. AHQ gain momentum

    They've just taken the dragon...

    AHQ come out way ahead out of that trade

    James 'Stress' O'Leary

  9. A much longer game than usual for SKT

    We now get to see their late game decision making

    James 'Stress' O'Leary

  10. QSS? Zhonya's Hourglass?

    You what, mate?

    Richard 'Pulse' Kam
    eSports Caster

    QSS is short for Quick Silver Sash which is an item which can be activated to remove all negative conditions from your champion. Stunned? No problem. QSS has you covered.

    Zhonya's hourglass is another item which has an active component. Once used, it puts a champion in stasis which means they are unable to attack to be attacked for 2.5 seconds. It shines when an opponent throws their key abilities at you and the stasis means it will all miss!

    SKT have picked up a QSS and a Zhonya's.

  11. Can anyone call this match?

    For once, no one online can seem to agree!

  12. SKT push their advantage

    AHQ starting to feel the punishment; starting to feel the pressure

    Leigh 'Deman' Smith

  13. AHQ fight back...

    But is it too late?

  14. SKT have awoken

    SKT's champion picks are starting to come into their own as the game draws later and crush AHQ in a mid lane teamfight 4 kills to 1.

  15. Get Involved!

    Don't forget you can tell us what you think of the show on #bbcesports! Can SKT take it? Or will AHQ pull it back and make it to another game.

  16. A worrying trend

    MaRin takes Ziv on one-on-one, takes him out and heals back to full health. Once Ziv can no longer beat or at least go even with MaRin, AHQ will have to commit more than one player to deal with the threat, opening up the rest of the map for SKT to take control.

  17. MaRin takes the lead over Ziv

    And this is how it started last time for SKT

    Leigh 'Deman' Smith

  18. AHQ hold even but how long will it last?

    AHQ have been trading blow for blow with SKT for the first 23 minutes, but SKT's composition hasn't fully activated yet and when it does, the control of the game could quickly shift.

  19. Is the game suddenly too close to call?

  20. SKT out of position

    SKT commit several members to the top lane to kill Ziv but Dragon spawns and AHQ are in a better position to secure it... and secure it they have.
