LGDs lineup troll, gyro, bane, tiny, magnus
NIPs lineup shadow shaman, arc warden, doom, pangolier, elder titan
Pretty hard fought battle but after 47 minutes, LGD is down 4 players without buybacks and NIP is in their base. NIP take a surprising game 1 win.
LGD is definitely the favorite in my view to win this match. Ninjas in pyjamas does have strong players such as ppd, ace, and fata. LGDs players are much better such as ame, xNova, fy, and chalice. LGD is playing with a standin.
If LGD were to lose games to lower tier competition, it would have to be now because they are running with a standin CDEC Xm vs NIP.
