Initially, many predicted that T1 would achieve an easy victory, but an unexpectedly difficult battle unfolded.
In the first set, T1 took the lead by winning in 31 minutes with an overwhelming kill score of 21 to 9.
However, T1's carelessness and G2's power overlapped, and they were cornered as they lost the 2nd and 3rd sets.
At the beginning of the second set, T1 caught their opponent one after another, increasing the kill score to 3 to 0.
However, G2's top laner Sergen "Broken Blade" Celic and jungler Martin "Yike" Sundelin played an active role and prevented T1 from growing.
Led by the performance of the two players, G2 solidified their victory by taking the lead in kill scores and gold, and won a series of teamfights, eventually destroying T1's Nexus in 31 minutes of game time.
In the 3rd set that followed, T1 introduced a ban pick that was close to an experimental pick.
First of all, in mid-game, ‘Faker’ Lee Sang-hyeok chose Aurelion Sol, which had never been used in the tournament.
Next, supporter Ryu “Keria” Min-seok also brought out Camille, who rarely appeared in this tournament.
However, T1, wearing unfamiliar clothes, looked somewhat disappointed and lost to G2 in 29 minutes, giving up a match point.
