In the first game, JDG’s lineup was Sion top, Poppy jungle, Azir mid, and Aphelios plus Rell bot; BLG ran Rumble top, Skarner jungle, Taliyah mid, and Sivir with Alistar bot. During laning, BLG’s trio in the bottom lane caught and killed Xiaoxu’s Sion, allowing ELK’s Sivir to secure first blood. Following that, BLG took Rift Herald and used it to destroy JDG’s first mid turret, gaining an early 1K gold advantage.

In mid-game, Knight’s Taliyah was instantly killed, Scout’s Azir pushed back Shadow’s Skarner, but Peyz’s Aphelios secured the kill. JDG then took Rift Herald and opted to contest the dragon, but BLG’s other three players tried to stop them. Xun’s Poppy initiated but was quickly taken down, allowing BLG to claim the dragon soul. At 24 minutes, Zhuo’s Rell flashed into the enemy jungle to start a fight, but his teammates couldn’t follow up, and he was eliminated. Afterwards, BLG chased down and killed Peyz’s Aphelios, securing the first Baron. Later at 32 minutes, BLG went for Baron again; Xun’s Poppy caught Knight’s Taliyah, but Knight escaped successfully. BLG counterattacked, with Knight’s Taliyah scoring a triple kill. After wiping JDG, BLG took the first game. ELK’s Sivir dealt the most damage for BLG, while Scout’s Azir was JDG’s highest damage dealer.

In the second game, JDG picked Jax top, Wukong jungle, Galio mid, and Kai’Sa with Leona bot; BLG chose Aphelios top, Xin Zhao jungle, Annie mid, and Yuumi with Nautilus bot. During laning, JDG’s mid and jungle caught and killed Shadow’s Xin Zhao, and Xun’s Wukong secured first blood. Later, both teams fought for Rift Herald, but BLG’s engage failed. Zhuo’s Nautilus counter-engaged, Peyz’s Kai’Sa cleaned up, and JDG executed a 1-for-5 team wipe on BLG to take Rift Herald. JDG pushed down two towers early, leading by 5K gold.

In mid-game, Scout’s Galio was caught in the bottom lane, and JDG came to assist but arrived too late. BLG decisively chased and killed three JDG members, securing the Rift Herald. However, at 21 minutes, during a chaotic fight, Xiaoxu’s Jax quickly eliminated ELK’s Yuumi, and Bin’s Aphelios was also taken down. JDG pulled off a 3-for-0 fight and won the second game. Scout’s Galio was awarded MVP.

In the third game, BLG played Ornn top, Trundle jungle, Ziggs mid, and Rell with Xayah bot; JDG had Renekton top, Jarvan jungle, Ahri mid, and Lucian with Braum bot. During laning, Knight’s Ziggs solo killed Scout’s Ahri. Xiaoxu’s Renekton also solo killed Bin’s Ornn. BLG then tried a three-man gank on Xiaoxu’s Renekton, but Xiaoxu 1v3 solo killed Shadow’s Trundle. Early on, BLG took down the first bottom turret, while JDG secured Rift Herald. Both teams had roughly equal gold early on.

In mid-game, BLG capitalized on Scout’s Ahri farming in the bottom lane by executing a five-on-three fight top, killing three JDG players and taking Rift Herald. At 25 minutes, BLG caught JDG’s mid and support in the jungle and then secured the first Baron. Finally, at 28 minutes, BLG initiated a fight at the enemy base, killing three JDG members and clinching the match victory.
