Summoners!
This weekend, Moscow Five shocked the League of Legends world by claiming victory over North American powerhouse Team Solo Mid at IntelEM Global Challenge Kiev! Their prize includes $12,000 USD and a guaranteed spot at the Intel Extreme Masters World Championship in Hannover, Germany!
Making their debut at an in-person event, this previously unknown Russian team took down an impressive series of experienced international contenders on their road to the grand finals. Their secret weapon seemed to be unique, aggressive counter jungling tactics that left their opponents confused and on the defensive.
Ultimately, Team Solo Mid proved the only contender in attendance capable of taking a game off Moscow Five, but even these world renowned competitors fell in the face of their unorthodox adversaries. We look forward to seeing more of Moscow Five when they take to the Fields of Justice again at the World Championship.
