Premiere Valor League – PVL Day 5 Highlights

PVL Day 5 is in the books, and with it, some excellent games to start Week 3. Let’s take a look at highlights of the first day of Week 3:

BMGaming vs. VeniVidiVici

GAME 1

BMGaming	VeniVidiVici
BMGxHoon – Tulen	vVvLalo – Sephera
BMGxNeo – Riktor	vVvWrecker – Slimz
BMGxTriumph – TeeMee	vVv_Alfa – Annette
BMGxWaseem – Ryoma	vVvCaB – Skud
BMGxBasic – Moren	vVvWilfred – Xeniel

The first match was between BM Gaming and VeniVidiVici. BM Gaming went with a predominantly mobile lineup that focused on single-target burst damage. VeniVidiVici opted to go with a defensive, protect-the-carry team composition.

BM Gaming got first blood at 1:19 thanks to a three-man rotation from Triumph, Basic, and Hoon on vVvCaB at the Dragon Lane. This allowed BM Gaming to come close to destroying VVV’s first tier tower early. This also led to BM Gaming securing the first Dragon of the game. VVV was quick to react and rotated to CaB’s lane at 2:20. A team fight ensued, which saw BM Gaming come out on top, killing VVV’s Wrecker and Wilfred and pinning Lalo and Alfa in the Dragon Lane with little HP. BM Gaming proceeded to tower dive the two VVV players, which resulted in a 6-0 lead and a destroyed tower in just over 3 minutes of gameplay.

VVV were on the defensive as they went to help vVvWilfred take out the Slayer Lane. Meanwhile, BM Gaming was rotating to the Dragon Lane to continue with their roaming pressure. They were quick to change course respond to the Slayer Lane, though, thanks to their team composition’s high mobility. BM Gaming thwarted VVV’s momentum with just Riktor, Tulen, TeeMee, and Ryoma.

By 6:27, BM Gaming controlled the pace of the match. Their aforementioned four-man rotation strategy was smothering VVV, not allowing any option but to defend whichever lane the four-man squad was pushing. This allowed BMGxBasic freedom to push the Dragon Lane without concerned about the underfed-Skud.

BM Gaming’s strategy proved to be effective, as they steamrolled VVV to a 16-0 win in just under 10 minutes.

Winner: BM Gaming
MVP: BMGxHoon (Tulen, 2-0-11)

GAME 2

BMGaming	VeniVidiVici
BMGxHoon – The Flash	vVvLalo – Elsu
BMGxNeo – Lindis	vVvWrecker – Nakroth
BMGxTriumph – Baldum	vVv_Alfa – Sephera
BMGxTH – Superman	vVvCaB – Ryoma
BMGxBasic – Florentino	vVvWilfred – Cresht

With momentum on their side, Game 2 saw BM Gaming sub in BMGxTH to replace BMGxWaseem and run a offense heavy lineup with a lot of crowd control. Meanwhile, VeniVidiVici went with a balanced lineup that specialized in poking.

VVV’s poking strategy gave them the early advantage and first blood at 2:03 thanks to Wrecker taking down BMGxHoon. A small skirmish happened near the Dark Slayer pit afterward. Once the dust settled, BM Gaming had evened up the score 2-2.

BM Gaming tried to coax VVV into team fights, but VVV showed restraint and kept to their poking strategy. However, at 6:43, BM Gaming pressed the middle lane and gave VVV no choice but to defend. BM Gaming got some needed momentum by killing Alfa, Wrecker, and CaB to get them a 12-5 kill lead.

A couple of minutes later saw BM Gaming push VVV’s middle lane all the way to the high ground tower. BMGxTH’s Superman managed some quick kills. By 10:38, BM Gaming was sitting on a 21-10 lead and were pressing to end the game. However, VVV were still fighting and would not give the game easily. However, by the late game, BMGxNeo’s Lindis had already farmed enough items to hit her power spike. BM Gaming kept on the pressure to pound VVV to a hard-fought 27-12 win at 13:02.

Winner: BM Gaming
MVP: BMGxTH (Superman, 12-1-4)

This was then followed by another Five Kings kill at 2:18, giving them a 2-0 lead. As the early game progressed, Five Kings was constantly invading INF Outlawz’s jungle to prevent HellaRoman from getting the gold necessary to get items. This strategy was a sound one, as INF Outlawz were forced to play catch up with gold and experience.

After six minutes of gameplay, Five Kings asserted their will against INF Outlawz. GGxHyouka pushed the Dragon Lane and was on the verge of destroying the second tier tower while his teammates were pressing the middle lane. This left INF Outlawz completely split on which lane to defend. Five Kings were able to win a small team fight at INF Outlawz’s Dragon lane tier 2 tower, while WoFxBrandon was able to solo kill Syldra in the Slayer Lane for a commanding 2-9 lead.

Five Kings held the reins for the better part of the mid-game. 8:13 saw them secure Dark Slayer and begin their siege on INF Outlawz’s middle lane. INF Outlawz tried to defend, but Five Kings’ momentum could not be stopped. Five Kings won in a commanding fashion, 15-3 in under 10 minutes.

Both teams began Game 2 by cautiously keeping tabs on the others’ jungler and opting to pull away from team fights. After Five Kings secured the first Dragon at 3:32, WoFxLeem charged into INF Outlawz’s players between the Dragon Pit and Blue golem. WoFxBrandon and WoFxUnsaweR followed up, Brandon getting the first blood on iNFxPirate. FlameJam took out UnsaweR from behind to even the kill score.

A crucial clash at 4:48 saw WoFxLeem cornered by three INF Outlawz. Leem’s teammates were quick to respond, and Leem managed to get away with a sliver of HP. UnsaweR and Hyoukka got two kills to keep the lead just out of arm’s reach. Following a double kill from UnsaweR on FlameJam in the middle lane, Five Kings began to take over the game and kept the pace quick.

At 7:37, Five Kings were making a beeline down INF Outlawz’s middle lane. UnsaweR managed to rack up more kills for his team, who now sat on a 6-2 lead. Meanwhile, Hyouka managed to destroy INF Outlawz’s second Slayer Lane tower to further add pressure onto the defenders.

Try as they might, INF Outlawz were unable to withstand Five Kings’ pressure and succumbed to them after just above 10 minutes of action.
