The Backdoor Entrance
IEM Global Challenge is an international tournament that brings together the best teams from around the world. In IEM Katowice Season VII circuit, the two European powerhouses SK Gaming and Fnatic squared off and resulted in the moment we now know as the clutchest play in League of Legends history, The xPeke.
In the final minutes of the game, Fnatic pushes to destroy the Nexus but is overwhelmed by SK Gaming’s defense. SK Gaming decides to go for the game ending push which seems like a sure victory until xPeke makes the decision to backdoor their Nexus.
With Kassadin’s versatile Rift Walk, xPeke was able to masterfully jump around the Nexus avoiding enemy defense and weaving auto attacks to secure the victory.
Enrique “xPeke” Cedeño Martínez showed amazing focus and mechanics on the World Stage and solidified his legacy with this play. To many, this play is revered as the greatest moment in League of Legends history.
