NaJin teams split even in Champions Spring

Both NaJin Black Sword and NaJin White Shield split even in their series against KT Rolster Bullets and CJ Entus Blaze respectively.
 
 

 
 
In a very close series between NaJin Black Sword and KT Rolster Bullets, Bullets pulled ahead early in the first game after an extremely tight laning phase.  Unfortunately for the KTB squad, however, smart Leona plays and NBS' persistence allowed them to stall out the game long enough to where gold differences no longer mattered.  They took down inhibitors and flooded KTB's base with winions to take the first game.
 
In the second game, KTB took a much more decisive lead in the early game with a free dragon pickup.  KTB were able to adapt when NBS picked the same composition and employed the same role swap strategy as they did in the previous game.  NBS still were looking as if they might make another comeback with a Baron steal.  Ryu's Gragas plays, however, were able to close out the game and split the series.
 
The next best of two featured NaJin White Shield and CJ Entus Blaze.  Role swaps and second tier turret tanking bled into this next series as well.  This first game was as close as the previous two, with White Shield eking out an advantage in kills in the first one.  Blaze, however, was able to rally with Baron kills and smart rotations for the win.
 
Jinx came out for Blaze's Emperor in the second game.  White Shield picked up an early lead, taking down outer towers with Caitlyn quickly.  They extended their gold lead with objective control from there, taking dragons and kills with better vision and Ggoong's Leblanc finding picks.  This game ended with a White Shield win and another even split.
