NAVI\u2019s tank-heavy draft, anchored by <strong>Keishi\u2019s jungle Fredrinn<\/strong>, couldn\u2019t find rhythm. <strong>Asia\u2019s Cici<\/strong> disrupted their tempo, while <strong>Sayori\u2019s Valentina<\/strong> ran wild with <strong>six kills and eight assists<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Not ayanami\u2019s Arlott<\/strong> couldn\u2019t get going, ending with just <strong>two kill contributions and three deaths<\/strong>.
