In the second game, both sides adopted lane swap tactics in iG's do-or-die match. Collapse's Kunkka played mid-lane impressively and even solo killed Monet's Windranger who also switched to mid-lane! In the mid-game team fights, Collapse's Kunkka led the team with unstoppable dominance, constantly securing ganks after securing the Aegis, and started pushing! Despite iG having a Doom as their third position, their opponents had Miposhka's Omniknight! In team fights, iG had no answers! Ultimately, iG had no chance to fight back and was swept and eliminated by Spirit from this TI!
