Emotional ups and downs

In the first round of matches, things looked surprisingly good for Bremen at first. But then the team from the Weser lost the decisive toplane fight, allowing Karlsruhe to fight back and win the first match. In the second match, Bremen excelled, slowly but surely gaining the lead and clearly winning the round.

At the beginning of the third round, KIT SC White still could not find an answer to Bremen’s game tactics. Therefore, after a brilliant performance by the opposing team, they had to admit defeat again. But with a more aggressive style of play Karlsruhe came back and won the fourth match. It became exciting once again.

Bremen had not yet fully recovered from the defeat and weakened. The players of KIT convinced in the end. Especially Robert “DieVolksbanane” Stolpmann got everything out of the last fight and finally gave the Karlsruhers the victory.
