Team Liquid Alienware didn't drop a game. Their 2-0 over Sentinels in LCS Week 2 paired a lopsided opener with a second game that SEN made far more competitive, and Yeon sat at the center of both wins.

The first game was over in 23:35. TLAW took it 15 kills to two and nine towers to none, finishing with a gold lead of nearly 15,000. SEN never got their top laner involved: Impact ended on Gnar with zero kill participation. Quid's Sylas went 5/0/6, one of three TLAW players who didn't die at all.

Yeon does the heavy lifting

Yeon's Ezreal went 7/1/3 in the opener, and his Kalista followed with 10/3/4 in the second game. That makes 17 kills and four deaths across the series. His 32,502 damage in game two was the highest on the map by a wide margin, almost 8,000 clear of Quid's Orianna. The rest of TLAW fed him well, too. Josedeodo and Quid each posted 94% kill participation in that game, and CoreJJ's Renata Glasc added 14 assists.

SEN did push back in the second game. They took 12 kills and won the dragon count three to two. HamBak's Lee Sin was arguably the best player on his team across the day, going 6/4/5 with 20,075 damage and a hand in 92% of SEN's kills. None of that was enough to change the result. TLAW took the only Baron, won the tower count seven to three and closed the 32:27 game roughly 9,000 gold ahead.

Questions in the mid lane for SEN

For Sentinels, the mid lane stands out. DARKWINGS finished the series 2/8/7, and his eight deaths were the most of any player on either side. He was involved in every SEN kill in the opener, but on a team that managed only two, that says more about how little SEN generated than about how well he played. A deathless Gnar and a 0/4/7 Galio point to a side that struggled to find pressure anywhere outside the jungle.

TLAW leave Week 2 with a clean series and a bot laner in clear form. The open question is whether the team can keep winning when Yeon isn't the one carrying the damage. SEN need to find more from their solo lanes, and fast.
