In the first game, Kingen picked Malphite for the top lane but was forced to flash at level one. Later, he used his ultimate and flash to escape a gank, reminiscent of a domestic streamer! Both teams operated steadily, and in the mid-game, GEN hardly gave DK any chances. Kingen's Malphite only had one good initiation, while Canyon's Maokai with his ultimate could both engage and disengage, leaving DK with no good solutions! GEN won two Barons through team fights and steadily pushed the high ground, taking the first point after dealing with DK's flanks!

Match Details:
[5:30] GEN secured the first dragon with control over the mid and bot lanes!
[6:30] Lucid's Lillia was caught while taking the Rift Scuttler. Kiin's K'Sante arrived first and used his ultimate to cross the wall, combining with Lehends' Poppy's ignite to kill Lucid's Lillia! Then, Peyz's Ziggs caught Kingen's Malphite who was recalling, and Lehends' Poppy finished him off with a wall slam, making it a 2-0 start! GEN secured two Rift Scuttlers in the first wave!
[11:16] GEN secured five Rift Scuttlers, while DK took the second dragon! This game had an Earth Dragon soul!
[14:39] GEN secured the Rift Herald!
[17:20] In the dragon fight, DK initiated, with Kingen's Malphite flanking and ulting Peyz's Ziggs, who flashed to avoid it. Meanwhile, Lucid's Lillia put three to sleep! Although Kingen was killed by Peyz's Ziggs' ultimate, GEN's formation was severely disrupted as SMK's Corki killed K'Sante, and Lehends' Poppy, who was trying to hold them off, also died! DK achieved a 1-for-2 trade and secured the third dragon!
[20:48] DK tried to group and push the mid tower but was caught by Canyon's Maokai's ultimate, binding three! Moham's Rell was the first to fall! After a trade of junglers, both teams disengaged!
[23:28] GEN secured the fourth dragon! Then, Canyon's Maokai used his ultimate to engage, and Kingen's Malphite flanked and knocked up Chovy's Tristana! Lucid's Lillia followed up with sleep, helping SMK's Corki kill Tristana! However, GEN also killed Moham's Rell, resulting in a 1-for-1 trade as both teams disengaged again!
[26:12] Kiin's K'Sante flanked, while Canyon's Maokai engaged! Moham's Rell sacrificed herself to protect her teammates, stunning two! Kingen's Malphite covered Aiming's Miss Fortune, who was being targeted by K'Sante, but both were left with low health. After killing Moham's Rell, GEN secured the Baron!
[28:45] GEN secured the Earth Dragon soul!
[34:48] In the dragon fight, Canyon's Maokai initiated, binding three, and Kiin's K'Sante pulled back three with Q3! Chovy's Tristana flanked and entered the fight! Although Moham's Rell stunned three, helping Aiming's Miss Fortune deal massive damage and instantly kill Lehends' Poppy, Miss Fortune didn't finish her ultimate and tried to flash reposition but was killed by Kiin's K'Sante's ultimate! In the subsequent team fight, GEN's double marksmen cleaned up the battlefield, achieving a 2-for-4 trade, securing the Earth Dragon soul, and then taking the Baron!
[37:18] GEN grouped up and pushed down, Kingen's Malphite used a super long flanking TP, but the other teammates were blocked by Kiin's K'Sante alone, and GEN's four members dealt with him! Then Kiin's K'Sante, under Lillia's sleep, charged and scattered DK's formation, GEN quickly eliminated Aiming's Miss Fortune, achieving a 2-for-0 to end the first game!
