"ShowMaker" makes the difference
But it was mid laner "ShowMaker" who held the key to winning the teamfight in game one, making use of his ultimate on Orianna after 38 minutes.
That earned the team both the drake and baron and ultimately helped them take the lead.
And, reflecting on the performance, "ShowMaker" insisted that although there were plenty of mistakes in the first match of the season, he sees a lot of promise in the current roster.
Speaking in the press room after the match, "ShowMaker" said: "We made a lot of mistakes and I think the one objective teamfight that I wish we played better was the Herald fight - I think we executed the other teamfights quite well.
"The most important factor is hard work - my teammates are working extremely hard.
"Tonight was our first match of the Spring split, so while we might not be perfect, I have no doubt that we'll play well down the road."
