In the third game, HLE first picked mid-lane Azir, gaining an early economic advantage! In the mid-game, Doran's K'Sante made a brilliant escape in a river skirmish, and after HLE secured a 0-for-2 trade, they took the first Baron to widen the gold gap! However, in the subsequent Dragon fight, Zeka's Azir tried to be a hero and got instantly killed, allowing GEN to counter with a 0-for-3 trade, taking down two outer towers to even the gold! In the Dragon Soul fight, Lehends' Renata landed a great ultimate, GEN killed Doran's K'Sante and secured the Dragon Soul, then pressured Baron to catch Peanut's Vi and took the second Baron! In the final push, Canyon's Skarner, with Lehends' Renata's perfect ultimate, instantly killed HLE's mid and top, and GEN reversed the game from the top lane to take match point!
