And early invade by CLG left Lee Sin without a blue buff. Fnatic counter jungle and take Maokai's blue buff as well. Corki takes first blood with help from a jungle gank by killing Malphite in the bottom lane. A gank by CLG in the top lane using Maokai, Ezreal, and Lulu goes very badly when Lee Sin shows up to help. Warwick dies but Lee Sin picks up a triple kill by killing Ezreal and Maokai while Lulu fail suiciding to the turret. Another gank in the mid lane by Warwick, Lee Sin and Orianna leaves Twisted Fate dead. Fnatic pick up the first dragon of the game at the 10 minute mark. First tower of the game falls at 11:20 to Orianna in the mid lane. Twisted Fate ganks top lane and Zyra dies. Meanwhile in the mid lane Snoopeh is dived by 3 of Fnatic who then take the tier two mid turret. Ezreal and Lulu dive Corki in top lane and Corki dies along with Lulu and Fnatic's tower. TF ports top again and they pick up a kill on Warwick. Lee Sin ganks bot lane and kills Malphite along with CLG's tier one bottom tower. Ezreal lands an amazing dragon steal with his ultimate immediately after. Warwick flashes for an attempt at an ultimate on Lulu but doesn't get in range. A teamfight erupts and CLG come out on top by killing Corki, Zyra, and Lee Sin when only Maokai dies. Another teamfight breaks out behind the dragon pit and CLG trade 2-0 killing Warwick and Lee Sin. They take their advantage and push down a tier two mid turret and a dragon. Twisted Fate split pushes the top lane tier two tower but dies after it falls to Orianna and Warwick. Fnatic pick up two great kills in the mid lane on Maokai and Malphite and disengage. An amazing teamfight in the mid lane again (ARAM anyone??) goes perfectly in CLG's favour with a perfect Unstoppable Force/Wild Growth combo which leaves Warwick and Orianna dead. CLG quickly pick up the first baron of the match at 37:00. While they have baron, CLG pick up both the tower and the inhibitor in bottom lane and the mid lane inhibitor turret. CLG take a second uncontested baron at the 45:00 minute mark. Fnatic initiated a team fight in their own base and end up getting aced, giving Malphite a triple kill. CLG take the first game of the series!

A well timed gank top by Amumu leaves Irelia dead. A great snare by Zyra lets Ezreal take a kill on Blitzcrank while Corki is in base. This sets Fnatic up to start another dragon which is stolen by a Corki ult! A team fight around dragon leaves Cho'Gath dead while Fnatic loses Ezreal, Diana, and Zyra. Diana picks up the first turret of the game in the mid lane around the 17:15 mark followed shortly by the bottom tower as well. Fnatic take the sneakiest baron I've ever seen by flashing over the back wall at 18:30!! A perfect Blitzcrank pull leaves Ezreal dead but Diana kills Corki and Twisted Fate in response. Meanwhile in the top lane, Cho'Gath and Irelia take a kill on Jax. CLG follow up with a dragon. Fnatic push hard and seige down the tier two top tower. A teamfight breaks out under Fnatic's mid tower and Fnatic gets an ACE while only losing Amumu. They proceed to push down two mid towers and the inhibitor. Shortly afterwards another teamfight breaks out around baron. Fnatic kill everyone and lose no one. CLG turn it around with nothing but their nexus left and ACE Fnatic in the base. The follow up with a quick baron. Zyra gets caught out by all of CLG and falls while Fnatic are pushing the bottom lane.

Corki picks up a kill on Zyra again in the bottom lane. Lee Sin gets caught out in CLG's jungle and Karthus kills him with the help of an amazing flash/hook by Blitzcrank. After taking mid tower, Fnatic engages and kill Amumu and Rumble while losing Lee Sin and Ezreal for an even 2-2 trade. A dragon drance begins shortly after and CLG get decimated by Fnatic. They lose Amumu, Rumble, and Corki while killing no one. Fnatic's CPU overheats resulting in a pause. Aaaand resume! Amumu gets caught out by Lee Sin but gets away.. ONLY to be sniped by Ezreal! Fnatic pushes top lane hard and initiates killing Blitzcrank as well. Blitzcrank dies again in the mid lane but CLG exchange by killing Jax who went a little too hard without his team. Amumu gets caught out by Lee Sin and, even with Rumble's help, cannot get away. Fnatic take this advantage and kill the tier two top tower. A baron dance leaves Amumu and Corki dead and Fnatic is free to take baron virtually uncontested. After the baron pick up Rumble and Blitzcrank die while CLG only kills Zyra. Fnatic initiate on CLG in mid lane and get an Ace while only losing Ezreal. With massive respawn timers they push to win and take the match and the championship!!

    Interesting... It is moderately hard to interpret those tables...

    I've never had an issue before with people being unable to read them :c
    What about them is confusing to you so maybe I can fix it.

    Well, I believe it is the titles going through the middle, and the top which makes it hard to differentiate between data and title, additionally the win next on-top of the name rather than next to it would make it much clearer.

    Actually, would be nice if you do not put Jax as AP Mid. Those tables are so wrong. Zyra was APcarry Bot, while Jax was an AD Bruiser Mid. xPeke didnt build AP on Jax apart from Triforce.

    I have the titles going through the middle so people can compare lanes easier. I have it bolded so it's easier to differentiate. I'll see what I can do about the win/loss.

    I have it like that so you see lane match-ups. I'm going to change it so it says just Mid Lane after I finish messing with the tables c:

    Thank-you!

    Although I use a more old-fashioned colour scheme, this is how I would do it.
