In the first game, WBG picked a lineup with offensive pressure and indeed secured the first two dragons! In response, JDG secured 5 Rift Scuttlers and the Rift Herald!
In the mid-game, WBG's several proactive engagements were average, and one jungle invasion allowed JDG to counterattack for a 1-for-3 trade, with Flandre's Nasus getting a double kill! Although Light's Ashe solo killed Yagao's Mordekaiser in the subsequent match, JDG secured two dragons in a row, tilting the game in their favor!
In the later stages, Yagao's Mordekaiser had accumulated layers, and with Ruler's Ezreal repeatedly securing kills, JDG's three front-liners provided ample space for the double carries to clean up. After securing two Barons, Yagao's Mordekaiser traded lives with Light's Ashe in the dragon pit using Guardian Angel, preventing WBG from securing the Infernal Dragon Soul! JDG timed Ashe's respawn, grouped up, and wiped out WBG in one decisive team fight, taking the first point!
